Silly Yoyo :)

Well, if you ever use the GMC, you know that the server is practically in meltdown. Finally Yoyo is doing another upgrade!

Except it's a stupid upgrade.

They got a new server with 4 times the ram, twice the cores and some more speed, as well as a ton more bandwidth. This is the good part.

The stupid part is that they're upgrading the IPB and skin. >( Newer versions of IPB are more secure, sure, but there's only been about one problem with that in the past few years. They added a bunch of social networking things that, for the GMC, are completely pointless. They also want to make the theme 'match the rest of the site' instead of 'looking like it was slapped on as an afterthought.'

HAH

They're also very silly about the decompiler. They've suggested disabling the download link and only using instant play (that issue is resolved, the uploader can disable the download link but it's not required) because for some reason they think that will stop people from stealing resources and decompiling. They also want to try and make it non-decompilable, which is pretty much impossible unless they make it really compiled (which they're not doing).

Did they? None of Sandy's posts mentioned social networking. Or are you refering to the main yoyo games site?

Also I don't think there's anything really wrong with upgrading the software, no doubt there'll be more features and browsing will be easier. However I agree with you about the re-skin, but I'm not going to pass judgement until I've seen it.

No, it's the board software, not sandy.

Oh right, I get it, thanks PY.

Yeah. But at least they migrated the data.

Hehe, they suggested disabling the download link? :P

That will definitly work, because the instant play function doesn't download the game. They're so smart, I can't believe it! XD

They could make it compile into an ugly form for human reading. Change code to save space and be faster to interpret, so EXEs would be smaller and running would be faster

As for download link disabling, that's silly. Oh well, not like I venture to the GMC anyways
