Yay! It's up.

And down.

Up and down.
Up and down.
Up and down.
Up and down.
Up and down.
Up and down.
Up and down.


This whole thing is starting to look like a gepper-oriented movie featuring Ron Jeremy.

Apologies about the lack of communication recently, we're all working hard on the brand new site which will be released in a couple of weeks' time.

We've had an increasing amount of unexplainable database issues recently, and the only way we can reduce the impact of such failures is to cluster our servers. To this end, we are working on adding a second machine to profile cluster 2 over the next few days.

In short: some profiles will be inaccessible or slow to update over the next few days. No data should be lost.

We should get a proper update on the group chart this Sunday. I'm going to bet that Dropkick Murphys are at number one for the millionith time. Let's just hope the damn thing works though...

I guess it will get better when they have finished their upgrades...

[Peerzy]

Franz Ferdinand will win

[Smith]

Bah, we will see about that.

How are the charts worked out

Is it how many members listened to a track, or how many times each member listened to a track added up.

So say 5 people listened to Track A ten times each. With the first theory that track would get a score of 5, but with the second they would get 10*5=50 points or whatever is used to work it out

I believe it is your first theory. The results will be a bit screwy because of all the downtime and whatnot but hopefully next weeks charts will be a bit better.

I think some people might need to get their plug-ins working properly as well. And some songs won't submit if your tags are poorly done...
