No one gave me any features. --- End quote --- There weren't a whole lot of features actually suggested here, but you have 45 pages of what people DON'T want. Right now, the primary goal of your mod is delivering content people don't want. Here's a big hint: cross out bullets 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11 because nobody wants them, we have them already. You're not going to do them better, at best you'll do them the same in quality. They want new stuff. Since this thread seems to be lacking in new ideas and you're incapable of thinking of new features on your own I'd be more than happy to refer you to an entire forum full of bright forward thinking individuals who would love to have you make their ideas a reality. Open a "what do you want" thread in modification discussion or suggestions and watch as it gets flooded with all kinds of neat innovative ideas. I'll just repeat, once again, not only is the current iteration of this mod poorly thought out, and overall a poor attempt at trolling and revenge, it will not work, it will not succeed, it cannot become popular, and not because of any failure on your part. There is only room for one content delivery system and add-on host in this community and it's filled. Even if BC is perfect (which it definitely won't be) it wouldn't be able to upset the weight behind RTB. Hosting this on a residential connection (pretty sure that was mentioned many pages ago) is also wishful thinking. It's not going to work, sorry. What are you going to do when your mom complains she can't feed her cows on farmville because a random Russian botnet is DDOSing your site? What are you going to do when the cable company switches over to a tiered pricing plan and starts charging you $300 a month for internet access? What if someone trips a circuit in your house? What if a branch falls on the power lines? What if someone bumps your server around? This stuff happens a lot more often at homes than it does to a server cabinet over in a random office building in California, which probably has a backup generator and a UPS as well. It's fine if you're hosting a game server but if you're providing persistent chat and downloading services to people it's unacceptable. |

As an example for power interruptions, my downstairs outlets and oven are on the same circuit. In the winter we run an electric space heater downstairs. Whenever the oven and the space heater are on at the same time, the circuit trips and 3 out of the 4 computers in my house get shut down. This literally happens every other day in the winter because people forget to check the heater before turning on the oven. Obviously this is an issue specific to me, but it is also an example of the kind of stuff that you do have to worry about on a residential connection. While RTB's downtime is relatively short and almost always attributable to being DDOS'd or server hardware changes, BC is going to have embarrassing stuff on it's blog like "Sorry BC was down for 16 hours yesterday, dog pissed on surge protector, had to get a 1 day rush delivery from Best Buy" or "LOL server went down for 2 hours today, I was trying to vacuum while mom was cooking and the water heater kicked in and blew a fuse!" |
