Resolved:

Performance issues on November 3rd, 2017, from 16:44 - 17:22 EDT : Slow page with heavy database queries located that caused an issue for the site with too many concurrent requests.  Placed a limit on the number of concurrent accesses to the page (requests to slow page will will q so that they canj be processed without thrashing).

November 4 - Adjust topic search query for improved performance.  Page could use a redeisgn, but at least it's not as slow.

Resolved problem of hotmail.com and outlook.com blocking e-mails from vgchartz.com.  No known major domains refusing e-mails.

Exciting times for VGC! Full steam ahead!



I'm glad to be working with such a group of individuals!! It certainly wasn't the smoothest ride, and while there is still much work to be done, I'm happy that we're making progress on this site. If you guys have any questions in regards to how this is being dealt with, Ryuu would be your best point of contact.

We'll be made great again! Yes!



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

That actually is on our list of suggestions

Most excellent. As far as I'm concerned, the lack of HTTPS is a big sign of unprofessionalism for a site that handles sensitive data (e.g. passwords). It's understandable for an old site like this because I guess the importance of encryption wasn't as well known back then, but these days, not having it is inexcusable for any modern site.

I also forgot to mention this in a hurry while writing the previous post, but this whole 'something happening' thing is awesome! It's great to have someone (or, in this case, lots of people) take care of the site.
