I've been semi lurking around the site and the data for a few years now. Just yesterday I decided to get the addon and contribute.
<p>
<p>It took me a while to figure out why I wasn't able up upload etc. It may be beneficial to make this information more obvious on the site, as potential new users may get confused/discouraged and give up (I almost did).

Bit hard to update with no information - I know as much as you guys do, and I'm sure if bringoutyourdead had heard anything he'd have told us. Just be patient, is all anyone can do right now.

I see that other week just passed so this update is taking longer than when Cata came out.

For me, it's now 24th... that means a month has gone by and in about 32 hours the last remaining shreds of Cataclysm data will be gone, leaving a few measly snippets of very partial MoP data provided by a handful of people who did not upgrade their addon.

I don't quite know what to say... some people have already given up, others have simply fallen silent because there is nothing more for them to say. Excluding myself, there haven't even been any forum messages within couple of days.

This is the Epic Censi, signing off for tonight...

Unfortunately Rollie's family suffered another loss.
He was called away for the funeral and all, but is now back in town.

He does want to get the site finished... he said he just had a "last couple of items" to take care of first on the site updates.

This is it. I currently have 91 census files to upload, 92 by the end of raid tonight. That's 24.5 hours of uploading, if I do one every 16 minutes. And then it'll probably take a month or more before those, and everyone else's backlog is even processed. I'm seriously starting to wonder if it's worth my time.

I doubt there will be much backlog... as I said, lots of people have already given up. You, me, Balgair, Fuxie, Bringoutyourdead, maybe half a dozen others and that's about it, I think.

I just hope the fairly long 403 phase earlier today means we are finally close to actually getting back on track...

At what point do we officially declare the site as dead?

It's official when Rollie says it, and not one minute before.

Considering the reason which bringoutyourdead has given us for Rollie's most recent absence I'm more inclined to "sigh" at some of the impatience shown around here. Maybe you guys would put a website you haven't done much with for several years above your family, but I know I wouldn't... some things are actually more important. Back when Diablo 3 was released, on the release day I got a phonecall... my mother had been rushed to hospital. Well, that was that for D3 for a few days, family comes first :P

Last I heard was 2 nights ago btw, Rollie was close to having it finished but wanted some more data (which I gave him), hopefully it's nearly done now.

Welcome :) Haven't heard any more from Rollie which is a little frustrating, but then I don't know which part of the US he's in, he may well have been affected by power cuts the last few days, to be fair! Just hope he'll resurface sooner or later and finish things off, he sounded optimistic that it didn't need much more work last I heard.

If he's on the East Coast, he's probably had more to worry about than updating the site. In the NYC area there are still folks without power and there was a big fire that wiped out 100 homes the night of the storm.

Welcome aboard Madisaymad.

I don't know Rollie's location either, but judging by the server time difference, he isn't very far west from NYC. He has obviously had a hard year. I hope things improve and he can finish the updating process. I am close to 100 files and will probably break half gigabyte limit in a about 2 days...

Anyone know why http://www.warcraftrealms.com/weeklyactivity.php is showing player activity if we haven't been able to upload?
<p>
<p>I mean even if people are modifying their addon version to upload 'bad' data, there shouldn't be _that_ much bad data uploaded?

The data is "bad" in terms of not having anything concerning the new class (Monk) and races (Pandarean). Everything else is updated and the people showing as top contributors for this month are the only people who have been bothering to upload anything.
