- Advertisements
- No one likes advertisements, but they are a necessary evil. Hosting this wiki costs approximately $60 a month out of my own pocket, which is paid for by 6 ad clicks / day. Currently the average is 1 click / day. Not a huge deal if I loose money on this, though.
- How can we improve placement / filtering so the ads are not as intrusive, yet we get 6 clicks per day so I'm not taking from my ramen budget?
- New Player Experience
- Perhaps the tutorials should be reworked a bit, and made more prominent on the main page. Agree / Disagree?
- Should we include a link to Mayday's graphical compilation on the main page? The default tileset can be more than intimidating for some.
- Overall Site Improvements
- What should we improve?
To increase the speed of page loads, I can migrate the database to PostgreSQL (this server setup has been optimized for Postgres previously, and not mySQL). However, this would require some downtime (between 0-3 hours, most likely). Thoughts?Done.I have been thinking about updating the captcha plugin to recaptcha, and then re-enabling page edits for unregistered users. Thoughts?Done.- There may be odd kinks to work out still on the website, as I do not program / have experience in PHP (Ruby on Rails is what I do my web programming in).
- Verify Time!
- Category:Verify has a lot of stuff we need to verify.
