Author Topic: Too Many Users to List - hey look at my internet!!!  (Read 1922 times)

Yes this does go in Drama. This is about specific people posting in the Blockland Forums.




I am not sure why, but for some reason people are obsessed with posting their speedtest.net results in topics they don't belong in. There is no reason for this and it's unlikely that anyone is going to actually look and acknowledge your results because it has nothing to do with the topic. All it's doing is derailing topics.

Example: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=156776.0
Summary:
Someone asks a question.
Discussion begins.
Someone posts speedtest.net results.
90+% of the future posts are other people's results.


Stop doing this.

Might as well call it advertising.

Forgot to add, the users would probably gat some sort of bonus from the company for reccomending this to someone else.

I am 100% sure someone is going to post their results here.

Just saying.

No they don't. Know what you're talking about before you talk.

Stuff like this always happens in threads when one dude says ''its like this over here''
Then other dudes join in and the thread has turned in to a ''post your result'' thread.

Sorry about the bump, but....

I would like to say Vehicles or maybe just Jeeps lag the server like forget! I did a test, I had 9 players playing on a Sumo Jeep server and the upstream was 120,000 B/s (937kbps). So about 100kbps for each player. Only about 400 bricks were on the server! Then I cleared all the bricks and loaded a 6k build, to see if Jeeps were causing the high bandwidth consumption. The results were stunning! I was only using 30,000 B/s (234kbps). So only 26kbps were being used by each client, proving Badspot was right. I'm just wondering why when everyone or at least most people are in a jeep it uses so much more bandwidth??? Like 4x the amount! D: Does it really have to send 4x-5x more data?

EDIT: I got 16 players on my server and it was using 380,000B/s (2968kbps), while we were all in jeeps. That's 185kbps per client! D:
I still want my question answered :(

That sucks :(

The topic was about internet game hosting performance. Posting speedtests might not be necessary, but it's certainly not off-topic.

I said "not necessary". Those people were posting about internet performance on a thread pretty much about internet performance.

he asked a question, he didn't tell them to post their results

What the hell is speedtest?

its a site that shows you your speed.

and it gives an image link that people spam all over these forums.
