I'm anxious to see what more can be done.... Any hints on what changes or new features you are going to show?

The things that are currently 'in the works' or 'on hold' and are not listed here are being kept confidential until later =)

[Hybuir]

is updating the "in the works" thread on the to do list?

[Rollie]

Shush you...

You can't get squirrels to shut up... except by electrocuting them.

Do you already correlate the data with wow-armory once in a while per realm to delete old characters that do not exist or have transfered or been deleted?

Wow - next question because the last edit was 4 years ago... is this site dead?

[Rollie]

Well, this thread just hasn't had any activity in quite a while ;p

Yes, dead, very very dead.

I suggest we find a way to revive the site...
Maybe by making track-able links people can add to their websites & forum sigs. Then whoever has the most new contributors join each month (and maybe one more for most over the whole year) via their link could win something.

In a what the heck this is just as good a place as any forum...

I have been low priority working on seeing what it takes to unfreeze the phpBB code on this site.

Rollie modified the forums code to integrate it with the rest of his code for the site.
Since then he has admitted it might not have been his best decision.

In development mode, I have cloned the forum and updated it to the latest version of phpBB.
This tells me that at least we can cleanly update, but in doing so we would break the rest of the site.

Looking currently at the differences in the tables in order to allow us to break out the modifications into their own tables and modify all the sql calls to join (soft link) the separated tables.
This would keep the site working while unlocking phpBB.

In the process of doing this I have been slowly clearing out the dead weight in the users tables:
- people who registered and never came back
- people who never contributed to the site in any way and have been gone for the last 90% of their registered time.
- people who have left behind spammer traces (from the time we were open registration and no active administration.)

I just fixed and ran the background CRON job the cleans the user base, and we dropped 30 pages from the membership list.
This was for registrations between 2010 and 2013.
I will be continuing the clean out for the period up to when we reestablished active administration.
And then starting my way back to the beginning of the site.

Clearing out the dead weight will make any updating of the forums much faster...
