Paging System

From GFWiki

Overview

In the early hours of the morning on June 4, 2006, Bobo installed a new Paging System (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/board-support/7033-new-feature-chocopager-beta.html) on GFF that allowed users to send each other pages that would appear in the form of a pop-up box. The system was openly opposed (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/board-support/7030-holy-crap-nix-chocopager-right-now.html) by Colonel Skills, and lo and behold, shortly after its installation the new Paging System brought down Gamingforce temporarily.

Almost twenty minutes later GFF returned, and bobo announced that the paging system was disabled (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/board-support/7035-gff-server-crashed-thanks-paging-system.html) because it used too much CPU power.

"The paging system crashed the GFF server! I am permanently removing the feature for now. Thanks for beta testing!" -- Bobo
"Permanently removing the feature.... for now?" -- Bigblah

[04:08] <@Gigablah> I'm guessing you got it to query the database periodically instead of on page load
[04:08] <@Crash> Eh, it only duplicated the PM system anyhow.
[04:08] <@Mercarios> it's the cleanup actions that kill it
