hey everyone — sorry for the quiet week. here are some updates:
- lag on both sites. we hit another AI crawler situation, which is becoming a recurring theme honestly. the good news is i've gotten faster at identifying and blocking these — you should already be noticing both sites feeling snappier now that that traffic is cut off.
- broken cron jobs. a bunch of the timed features that folks have been bringing up: the recycle beast, the potion lottery, pet spotlight, these all run on a scheduler, and something's been off with that scheduler. some things aren't firing at all, others are running at the wrong time. i'm tracking down what's going wrong and getting those back on their normal schedule.
- 404s: this was an issue for a few minutes due to the bot blocking. should be resolved now!
more updates as things shake out. thanks for your patience!
.. I get it... who really likes to give away their secrets? That way, there's always plenty of room for speculation... Since Subeta is still around despite all those annoying errors, you must be doing something right... And my suggestion wasn't meant to be taken entirely seriously... I always forget to mention that, because some people here don't seem to get the humor... ;)
