See how people are finding TT
I thought these statistics could be interesting or entertaining for some people, so I thought I'd make them public for now.
There are currently roughly 1.2 million records the site has to sift through while creating these statistics and they are live and dynamic so page loads can take around 3-5 seconds. There were 2.2 million records from the last month, but I went ahead and deleted 1 million of them since it makes the pages load roughly twice as fast now.
Here is a complete list of all page views that were sent to TT from other web sites:
There are three ways to browser search engine referrals; 1) by the search engine domain itself, 2) by the phrase that was searched for, 3) by the search engine domain and the phrase that was searched for.

Yes folks, the "gay quiz" is working again
Hahaha, this sorta cracked me up a bit.
This evening, I wrote some new tools to get a more accurate measure of how people are finding the site through search engines. The whole live list will be made public shortly. Anyhow, I came up with a funny discovery.
Keep in mind, these stats are only based on the last 2.2 million page views. Surprisingly, that is how many TT had in the last month. I'll make this stats public later as well, but I assure you it should drop next month since I made a change that will no longer count when you click the "add post" button, and some other AJAX calls.
Anyways, out of all the current records we have, or more specifically those with referring URLs, the number one search engine phrase is:
... . . . . . . . . . . . . . gay quiz
... at a whopping 433 searches that landed on TT. Haha, go figure. And second on the list is:
how gay are you quiz
... at 182 searches on search engines that arrived at TT. That's more than twice (87) the people that searched for tainted thoughts.
I know I posted the link to a page that showed these sorts of stats in the past, so I plan to do the same. The system is newer and better and shows search engines statistics as well, for those interested.
Anyway, you may be glad to know the gay quiz is now working again. It, and the Simpsons quiz, are both showing the graphics properly again. There was a bug which lasted an undetermined amount of time in which the images were dead; it has been reported and resolved.

TT source code updates
I just recently applied numerous bug fixes, as well as other improvements and minor additional features that have been in the works for a while.
All of the issues I saw in the web site concerns area should now be completely addressed, plus a few other issues I've been monitoring myself.
But of course, with the addition of any new code, the possibility for new problems arise. If you run into any problems, bugs, errors or whatever, just let me know.
Most of the changes were only bug corrections, so new bug introductions are quite unlikely here, however, there were a few new things introduced as well.

Scheduled downtime for Friday, May 30
Just a heads up to let you all know that the TT server will be offline for most of the day this Friday. This means, TT, and any other sites being hosted by the server, will go down for probably a good 8-12 hours.
What's happening is our housing area is performing maintenance in all the apartments and replacing *all* of the electrical outlets. So obviously, everything plugged in will need to be unplugged while they do it.
The server will go back on the same day, so don't expect a lengthy off time.

PHP updated on the server
I've just rebuilt php on the web server, so as usual, please report any issues that may be caused by the version change to the web site concerns forum.

Outgoing emails (notifications) confirmed to be working!
Thanks to NeroAnima and Reverend Felix T Cat for mentioning that parts of the site weren't sending email.
It turns out, none of the site was. This was all due in part to a half-updated of the source. Grrr...
The problem was that none of the site's cronjobs were executing properly because they were failing to include the site configuration file, which in turn halted any emails from being sent.
Ironically, I knew about this problem around a week ago on my own personal site, but didn't realize TT would have been affected as well. So, once again, I feel (partly) bad that my site was running smoothly with the fix already in place for some time now, while TT still didn't get it.
There were 1857 emails on queue to be delivered, so these will still go out, but many will seem oddly out of place considering their dated nature. Every five minutes the server will attempt to send out 100 emails, so all notifications (and other emails) will be delivered within a couple of hours.
On a side note - yes, I know my site still has several features TT lacks... I don't expect TT to get the rest of the updates (aside from fixes) until I have the bug tracker all setup, so I can uniformly name and version package releases.

Sanctuary in the Virtual World
[ current mood | indescribable ]
[ thinking about | posers ]
In the recent few days past, I have spent quite a bit of time on TT. In this time I have noticed a disturbing lack of traffic. When I stumbled upon TT, I was blown away by the discovery. Here is this totally free site(multiple meanings), that I could possibly meet some people worth knowing. Even if it was only fleeting conversations and little snapshots of weird(and I love the Weird) people doing weird things... whatever that means. I don't fit in to societies view of what a person should be, or how a person should even see reality. To me the world is really nothing more than a collection of energy that managed to spread out into somewhere, and miraculously started becoming aware of itself through this amazing thing called life. Anyway, to find a "place" so full of fresh diversity was just what I had been searching for.
Now we come to present day.
I have spent many hours looking at all of the wonderful pictures, and reading through many forums, and the only thing I can say at this point is; What a shame. Where have you all gone... My Space... Fuck that over glorified glee club of a damn conformist society. This site will die without people to keep it alive. There is a forum about making the site better, I feel that the site is fine. What it really needs is members that actually give a shit about TRUE individualism, and from what I've read in profiles, blogs, forums, and seen in pics, they were here. This is simply one members' attempt to call you out, YOU... the one reading this, I challenge you to participate in something you will probably never appreciate.
P.S. Lev should not be put on a pedestal, but a little reverence for TT wouldn't hurt.
I've justed updated the version of the portal system TT is running on. Because of this, there may be problems which I am not aware of. If you run into any such problems please report them right away so they can be fixed.

TT welcomes new members
As many of you know, member sign-ups have been offline for the past 2 months (partly why the site is so dead lately).
This is because I've been using email activation for accounts, but since we are currently without SMTP access at the moment, I have disabled this. We have been in touch with our ISP but they haven't gotten back to us and I'm tired of waiting around.
In the mean time anyone can sign-up for an account on TT again, assuming they can read an image code.
UndyingFantasy (4:02pm): blahblah deceiving pictures blah blah crazy in love blah blah... i don't hear none of this.
stealth member 929 (1:08pm): Haha, UF, take it easy, pics can be very deceiving and I'm crazy in love with my man. But I'm all for a TT-con :-)
UndyingFantasy (8:53am): why not? i deal with people a lot better when i'm high. like.. there's no tension. you'll just have to hide nero from me.. because, man, she's hottt.
stealth member 882 (5:53pm): Haha, TT-con on Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam. Sweeeet
UndyingFantasy (7:23am): i wanna gooo. i might actually be in italy around that time this year. if so i'll make the trip.
stealth member 689 (7:42pm): anyone want to go party at cannabis cup this year? I've been thinking about going since it's pretty close to me... I think it's around october/november (you know, the pot festival sponsored by High Times)
3ntropy (9:27pm): oh yeah, dont worry just pic up the san fran chronicle and there will be like 50 ads for doctors that perscribe medical marijuana
3ntropy (9:26pm): UF, Are you talking about cannabis clubs. Cause thats what it sounds like.
