You probably noticed the site is running better now.
Want to know why?
Remember how Josh before pitching the backend rewrite was just working on the site in his spare time for free?
Remember how he made a few features like the board list?
Well the board list was the case for the site fucking falling apart.
13:40:16 ~copypaste last night i turned off post stats before going to bed
13:40:20 ~copypaste that's why everything is zeroed
13:40:30 ~copypaste i found the reason for the original complaint [/v/ takes a long time to post to]
13:40:33 ~copypaste get ready for this
13:42:04 ~copypaste inserting into the board_stats table was taking many seconds
13:42:10 ~copypaste it was getting worse with more and more records
13:42:27 ~copypaste and because board_stats never prunes its historical record, combined with josh's inability to focus on database design
13:43:01 ~copypaste we all assumed that it was just the original reason i started the search for a new IB software, was making things worse
13:43:02 ~copypaste not so
13:43:31 ~copypaste not only did Josh fail at Next, but his incompetent post stats patch degraded preformance over time silently because josh sucks at DB design
13:43:33 ~copypaste what the fuck.
13:43:59 ~copypaste that's why things continued to get worse even with 8chan's user count decreasing
13:44:05 ~copypaste because the post stats table continued to grow
13:44:18 ~copypaste josh's insistence that algorithmic complexity did not apply to him was…wrong.
13:44:33 ~copypaste this is becoming shakesperean tragedy levels of sad.
13:44:35 maksev so basically
13:44:38 maksev hidden grenade
13:44:45 ~copypaste more like hidden balloon
