@StevenNL2000#19544 I don't have a actual webserver for the website... It's hosted as a static s3 bucked in AWS. No server, no apache or anything like that which would do this logic.

I will see how practical this is. I haven't done it because last I checked you need to be partnered with discord to get it properly, else we end up needing a webserver sitting around just to do a redirect.

@DragonSlayer2189#19441 He was the last time I checked.

So clearly I've not explained what I see the difference between admins and senior admins being especially as we move forward as evidenced by the posts in this thread. I'll write something up when I'm not feeling super tired.

/msg and /emsg are two totally different commands. Will take a look when I get home.

@Ivan#19277 and ryan, it's funny that you make the points above. they remind me of someone. his name is markbyron. he said the exact same thing when marco applied for promotions and look what happened to both of them. this behavior seems pretty recent to me.

Damn you got me, my name is actually Mark not Ryan. Just kidding.

My point was more to encourage folks to form their own decisions, and base off of recent history... Or at the very least take it into account. I've been on here since 2012, and based on this application and some similar ones, with mistakes I've made I'd never be approved for admin. But people do change, and while it's not always for the best, or doesn't always work out, it's important that we actually form our own opinions based on sensible evidence, rather than jumping on the bandwagon and not knowing what the fuck we're voting for.

I'm not suggesting people should change their votes, just that they should actually think properly, and judge the applicant based on stuff that's happened more recently, and at the very least I'd like people to be judged on their actions since I took over at the end of last year and not before that...

@Shdwo#19265 I'm not sure how much I agree with that based off of some of the conversation here, and a lot of it in admin chat. I'm not saying people shouldn't object (And I appreciate people putting actual detailed reasons, it makes a nice change), I'm just suggesting some people who have made those comments have been given the same benefit of the doubt before, and that just because folks aren't perfect doesn't mean we shouldn't give them a chance.

Could I suggest to folks that everyone will have made mistakes historically, and those players (Such as myself and many others) who have been here for a number of years will have likely clocked up a much higher number of those mistakes. It's not about shitting on someone for the mistakes they made months / years ago, and while yes that will naturally play a factor, I'd encourage people with this and all applications to also look at an applicants more recent behaviour, and what they've done since incidents that may have historically let them down.

at which point the TRIDENT nuclear subs fire everything they've got scotty and cause an all out nuclear winter across the planet.

@iVacon#19089 think elmon made one of the tfm bots do it.

This suggestion is both approved and rejected.

@Tizz#19075 Not a stupid question, and the short answer to both is yes.

The longer answer is yes, I do run optimise table commands over the blocks table when I've deleted a considerable amount of data, the issue is that it requires an outage to the server, as MySQL with InnoDB needs to re-create the table, which requires locking it and CoreProtect doesn't like that at all. It's why I tend to get to the stage there's a lot deleted before running an optimise. Right now there's around 50GB "Free" in the Blocks table, and I've just hit the start of April, I'm going to continue to delete a bit more data so we only have 4-6 weeks of data logged going forward and then can kick the optimise off knowing that I won't need to run it again hopefully for a while.

And we don't use the core protect option as it doesn't allow me to archive before deleting, and given I don't even like the fact we have to delete the data, manually dumping the rows before deleting them is currently the best option. Not to mention to delete 70,000,000 rows takes around 3 hours, and then a further 2-4 hours to optimise, I wouldn't trust TF to be running for long enough to do that with the plugin, and that would still have the issue with CoreProtect locking up due to not being able to write to the table impacted.

@mattlawn#19069 nope. It'd break the world's or the databases.

@Folfy_Blue#19058 It would make core protect unusable. We had major issues when the database was on a hdd not SSD, basically meant the plugin would hang and roll backs would take hours. Putting it onto some sort of external cloud storage would make it considerably worse to the point of it being better to have just deleted the data entirely.

@mattlawn#19053 would absolutely tank the performance of the server... That's the issue.

Done

Data added as of today as I suspect I will forget to do it at the start of June, and thought it would be interesting for folks to see the rate of increases / decreases.

@UnderTails#18941 We only upload the world's when they're being deleted from tf so it's unlikely anything on freedom 1 will be on there for a while yet I suspect.

Apple backups should contain the app data most of the time, but it might be that it doesn't like restoring to iPad? I know when I restored my I cloud backup to a new phone a while back all the data came with it.

Your best best probably will be to contact the support teams to the ones you can't get into. There are ways to manually verify your identity other than with your 2fa. I have requests like it on an from time to time and we have ways to prove the individual raising the request is highly likely to be the owner or would have had the 2fa token anyway if not.

@videogamesm12#18898 Even if I knew how to make that work, I wouldn't now just because I know how much it'll annoy everyone keeping it light only...
