Have available invites super power user?

stoi
04-13-2008, 03:04 PM
yes SPU have for now.

But we are opening up soon and wont have any invites again.

Not sure when we are opening up though, some things still need to be coded/fixed before we do.

Because I can imagine if his pm system wasn't "modified," his pm box would be full every 24 hours. :)

Opening.

I am getting sick of invites being used as a commodity for users, selling and trading them, so if we dont have them, they cant.

But not having invites and also staying closed, means we go stagnant.

So we have to open up to an extent.

But it wont be as easy as before, where we were taking 5000 accounts in a week, that was just a nightmare.

It will be a slow steady stream of new users, but at least if gives you a chance to get in.

I thinkt hats a smart way to do. Just let it be a gradually process vs an influx which would be harder to monitor and maintain in the short term.

Well, i don't know exactly how much people look for BCG, for from what i can read are a LOT.

So i think that maybe BCG should have a user limit (i'm sure that i'm not saying anything new), BUT they only open the invites one time per week, or per month?

I'm not saying that this hasn't been already thinking by BCG, but at least i think would be better. :(

stoi
04-13-2008, 04:27 PM
Like i said, a steady stream of new users so we can keep on top of it.

I wont go into to much detail on how it will work though, but we should be taking in 96 members a day (as long as 96 or more members get pruned that is)

but we can increase that or lower at it we want.

its sort of semi open now, we are just testing things though but if your lucky you might get in.

but you are gonna tell us when it is or we have to try and try until we can get in?

stoi
04-13-2008, 07:14 PM
well im sure it wont need me to tell you its open, pretty sure someone will tell you before me.

lets just say we are not officially open yet, but if a member gets pruned you might be able to get in, we have already taken about 15 members in 30 minutes so people are getting in. (but we may close any minute as well, hence why no huge announcment)

see told you, no sooner had i wrote that, the signupsa re closed

I was trying to find the WhatCD help channel because i've lost an invite, because my friend went out for the Weekend. Sorry for the off-topic, does anyone know the help channel of what.cd? Thanks

Edit: Forget it, i was connecting to another server DUH v.v

stoi, come on, invite me :unsure::cry:

04-13-2008, 08:42 PM
well we are still taking members, if one gets pruned it gives someone else a chance.

but this is just a test, the db deletes some signups and we are trying to find out why it does it. but if you get in, your in, we wont be disabling any of yous (unless you deserve to be disabled lol)

HDR
04-13-2008, 08:50 PM
ok, thanks for the tip.

I'm still trying to enter the What.CD IRC (yeah actually i didn't get in lol)

Well, i'll keep trying anyway. :)

04-13-2008, 08:51 PM
Two questions:-
1) Will hitting F5 constantly get my IP banned? I'm only asking this because this sortof has to be done to see if it's open or not.
2)10 slots gone(as you mentioned),so has the open signup ended for today so that I can go back to bed,it's 2:40 am and mum's gonna waste me!

EDIT:- Filled again and missed AGAIN,bugger! I better brush up on my typing skills to get in BCG!

EDIT 2:- Missed,third time.I suppose you're testing.

i keep try F5 1000 times per minute but still don't get in :cry::cry::cry:

stoi
04-13-2008, 09:30 PM
as long as the signup page says

The current user account limit (43,500) has been reached. Inactive accounts are pruned all the time, please check back again later...

its semi open, if a user gets pruned you can get it, just confirm your account quickly lol

if it says

The current user account limit (40,000) has been reached. Inactive accounts are pruned all the time, please check back again later...

then its closed and you will have to wait till 3,500 members get pruned.

stoi
04-13-2008, 09:41 PM
ok i will give yous a hint.

we prune accounts every 15 minutes.

now that may be 0 1 or 20 accounts that get pruned.

but if you get the sign in screen, and you dont make it in time, wait another 15 minutes, and then refresh, its pointless refreshing every milisecond as you just wont get in for at least another 15 minutes anyway.

I've missed it three times while filling out the form. Here I am hitting F5 repeatedly at 3am in the morn. BCG must be the hardest site to get in while open, invites sounds easier and less retarded IMO.

well we havnt banned gmail yet so you can sign up with that.

and if you think this is hard now, just wait to see what we have planned when we get rid of all the bugs in the system lol

HDR
04-13-2008, 09:52 PM
Well, i haven't seen any harder than TBytes, we NEED to open the FAQ and the RULES page to signup, and wait 60 seconds after open the signup page and also we can't fail the letter codes. :P

But yes, i would like to see harder so it will be a challenge to get in :D

well sorry but we have already had the opend for 500-5000 people and get loads of dupe accounts.

this way it may be hard to get in, but once your in, your not very likely to try to get a 2nd account.

remember as well since Dec 2006 we have had.

320,000 members through the doors, and we did have 100,000 members last year.

Now the vast majority of those would have been banned, and its a nightmare for staff to keep on top of that many members coming through the doors.

so this way, its better for the site, better for the staff, and better for the honest members that do get through.

On the AssCreed it downloaded a little (maybe the server logs), but no problem, it works fine, but why this happens with the Vegas 2 torrent?


I'll download the .Torrent again and see what happens:blink:

How did i find that was the problem? Google <- :yup:

04-13-2008, 10:25 PM
i don't know how fast to be to succeed, it's pointless to try every 15 minutes without any results, if it was 1 acct pruned/minute we would have better chances on signup, but this way and with the captcha system is more like an impossible mission, anyway...

seed box is allowed.

redownload the torrent and try again, for some reason our db is playing funny buggers lol it sometimes lets you have the 1st download for free, or it just doesnt let you dl at all, but redownloading the torrent fixes it.

this is what we are trying to fix, and the reason for these tests earlier.
