Bring back the old tSR.

[Raz]

Do you know how much time Dazz and his team put into the new site? This stuff isn't easy to do and take a lot of time and effort. Learn to get used to it like I did and then you'll like it because you really don't have an option because plenty of people have said that the old one won't be back.

I know what goes into working on a web site, I'm a web developer myself. I do php and html. It is complex. But why fix something that isn't broken, and make it worst in the process? Lol.

I'm sure you're a great web developer but you're thinking too small scale. Not only does the team need to worry about coding the website using all the usual suspects HTML/PHP/CSS/MySQL but then we've got to optimize the code, then we need to cache everything with nginx to make sure that the site works quickly everyone. We've got bind set up to cache all the traffic through the main IP to nginx and then an IP to send people to the forums without it screwing up and giving everyone the same IP (Therefore fucking up the cookies) You say "why fix something that isn't broken" tSR was a combination of a year and a half of code changes being applied on top of eachother... The system NEEDED to be redesigned, if it wasn't the site would just get worse and worse performance.

Your comments are appreciated but I don't think anyone realizes what we did was what needed to be done, and if we didn't do it we'd be misusing the resources we have available which is stupid. The simple fact is that now we've freed up a lot of system resources tSR is going to be able to expand, and not just with more sprites and a bigger member base, it opens us up to the possibility of designing new features, hell whole new sections of the site.
