MeetFighters News

Dear members,

First, a collective pat on our backs: the site has passed 7500 members this week. I think that cool enough to mention. There, got that out of my system.

You may have noticed that MeetFighters has moved to a new server, hopefully one that will serve better than the previous one, with fewer 500 errors and strange performance drops. I have confidence that the latest configuration will serve until we have 10.000 members. At the time of writing there are 400 members online, and the server is 95% idle. That is a good sign.

I took the opportunity to upgrade the server's operating system too, which presented certain... challenges in porting some of the software, the chat service being the most difficult. In any case, use the link above to report any problems that you started noticing after the 1st of August. I am fairly confident that we are in good shape.

I would like to announce some changes that I am planning to make now:

• More engaging groups. The idea is to expand on the Interest Group concept, and allow group members to upload photos to group galleries, get an overview of new photos and members, and so forth.
• Certain improvements to the messaging service. This might be simply reverting to the one message per page concept. I'm not sure.
• Number of profile photos, gallery folders. I hope this will allow members to upload more photos while uncluttering the main profile pages.
• Limit blocking and favorites. Only affects a small percentage of members who got a bit too addicted to the "add favorite" button.

That's it for this week!
