Well, congrats to Vyse. Wish that I'd won, but oh well. Vyse helps out the site in many more ways than simply giving cash, so he really does deserve this.

So was it enough for the new servers? A 3DS alone is $170, plus any shipping costs. We raised $200. Short answer: no. But it's a start. |

Honestly, while a server upgrade would be nice, it's not nearly as important as fixing up BV. In fact, the next giveaway's "profits" will be going to pic. If you wanna expedite the process a bit, you can donate directly to picano via his personal page and include a note with your donation telling him to get off his ass and fix BrawlVault. well something is better than nothing.. O and congrats.. Yep. And thanks. |

Lemme just clarify things and say I'm not really in it for the money. I just have a really hard time doing something I don't find interesting. (Even at work they know this XD) Immediately after break started, I got things to a slightly more stable state but well... have slacked off during the break; beating Kirby Return to Dreamland / playing mario party with the gf has taken priority.
The issues of caching page data / statistics is one I will get around to. In fact, at work right now I've got a project which has a lot of caching code I've been glancing at --- but it's not something I can directly copy (asp vs php, mysql vs sqlserver).
As I have already noted, the stats system is about 80% improved right now. All stats are now updated/stored to a forum profile field (much like post count) and I've got a working page that can update every user's vault stat with a single click, taking about 10 seconds; the exception being collabs, which... are quite a bit more resource intensive. I've got a working collab stat updater but it works one user at a time, meaning this will likely be a batch process run every so often during low activity hours.
As far as stats are concerned, the next fix has to be the stats page itself. While the profile based stats have improved its performance a little, a lot of the stats still require a fully table query to compute (anything that isn't simply user with X downloadsor hack with X downloads). The fix is simple, cache the result data every so often / display a pre-calculated page.
The next hurdle isn't quite as simple though... fixing up actual brawl vault usage (searching through character or stage). I'm not really sure how to improve that yet, as the results should update whenever a new hack needs to be displayed for the given search --- which is quite often.
Anyway, back to the topic of money. For anyone that is wary about what I'll be doing with the offtopic ad funds...
Prior to Dec 1, 2011
(Estimated) Unpaid earnings
KCMM: $42.15
picanogfx: $18.41
UNOTaku: $1.07
Total: $62.45 (I... really don't know why the numbers they give me don't add up)
(Estimated) Earnings for December 2011
KCMM: $37.65
Combined Total: ~$100.01
Now for anyone who hasn't messed with Google Adsense, you need a minimum $100 for your first payout. There is also an unspecified period of time where they will verify the authenticity of your ad revenue, make adjustments as they see fit (also taxes), and then the payment itself is made by check sometime around the following month.
I will be taking the cut only from my 2 sites. (~$19, less thanks to tax) The rest I plan to either hand over to Dantarion directly or hold on to in case of emergency. (Dantarion has yet to tell me the actual costs of this current server and has been quite generous, going as far as rejecting unnecessary donations. As such, I currently don't have any plans to add any more ads to the site; frankly, I've been hoping since long before BV started that Brawl hacking would die down already XD)

At least someone active got it instead of someone who only joined to enter the contest. Can't wait to see what sort of wonderful prize you guys conjure up next.
