MeetFighters News

Hi everyone,

In the last week, I have been working with the site's hosting provider on fixing the performance issues that we have been experiencing since the hardware upgrade.

AllFighters is the largest website that I have ever created, and I am slowly gaining experience about how to set up and administer a site of this scale. The most critical time of day is usually the 9PM to 11PM (GMT) period of the day, when 150-200 people are online simultaneously. I have managed to tweak the site code and the server configuration enough to be able to comfortably accommodate this load on the present hardware, and the hosting people seem to have fixed whatever was wrong with the server.

In other news:

• Tracker/2008-12-26: I have created a bunch of link banners that you can stick on your site. Please link "http://www.allfighters.info/" from your pages and help others find our site!
• Tracker/2010-08-22: Some international character encoding problems with the weekly newsletter have been fixed.
• Tracker/2010-06-07: The way AllFighters is handling languages has been changed. It is now easier to change your language, the site will simply set a cookie to remember your latest setting.
• Tracker/2010-11-18: The Body Mass Index (BMI) metric is no longer displayed in profiles as a default. Apparently some guys believed tha BMI is the work of the evil one. Those of you who like evil can enable the BMI on the preferences page.

Now, the big question:

What next?

I was thinking about creating a mobile version of the site, or perhaps enhance the world map feature. What do you think?
