Another Dead Summer Approaching	Barrett
Last summer was bad; this summer will be worse. With files coming like crazy to ticalc.org, it will be almost impossible to recover after this summer if things go the way they did last year. The ticalc.org staff is mostly on vacation, but programs and images are still being continually uploaded. When Fall finally comes, there could be thousands of pending files. The only solution I can see to this problem is to see it ahead of time and be sure to keep pending to minimum. And to those who want to upload your files; you can help by uploading only useful programs now, or at least combining similar files in to one file. I'm sure everyone wants to see files pending as fast as possible, but with last summer in mind, that is not going to happen. --- -Barrett A

Another Dead Summer Approaching BullFrog I wonder if they will recover AT ALL. Maybe they should have a couple of days (maybe a month) of where no one submits anything. Will calcgames.org ever have a problem like this, I wonder. Or any other site, for that matter. *idea* Maybe they should have a "back up" staff so while ones on vacation, the other is still keeping it going...

Another Dead Summer Approaching Barrett >>Will calcgames.org ever have a problem like this, I wonder. lol, if we ever get more than 1 file submission a week - maybe... (EVERYONE SUBMIT YOUR FILES!!!) >>Maybe they should have a "back up" staff so while ones on vacation, the other is still keeping it going... If you get my meaning. good idea... i rarely leave my house during the summer... but i don't really know if i'd be willing to do all those files by myself. --- -Barrett A 28 Jun 2002, 12:59 GMT

Another Dead Summer Approaching zkostik Ouch, last summer it took ticalc forever to finally get thru all files and they weren't on vacation for 2 months like they stated this time. That's indeed a good question as to how long it'll take them to get file pending down. I doubt we'll have file problems for a long time, since we rarely get anything submitted. In fact, our submit file form is much faster that ticalc's and we get files added much quicker --- so, submit your files as it only takes about one minute or so! You don't have to submit just calc games, you can submit anything that's could fit into our current sections. And as goes to adding files, I usually do that job. --- 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 29 Jun 2002, 17:48 GMT

Another Dead Summer Approaching Barrett i can tell this summer is going to be so bad... still no updates at ticalc.org since the 19th of june --- -Barrett A 1 Jul 2002, 11:07 GMT

Another Dead Summer Approaching spiral I dont' know how bad it'll be but i remember how ticalc was down last summer (wasn't it?). It's getting annoying how people will post like 10 basic programs that do a formula (and it's all related to a certain subject). And then recently there have been a lot of sports logos in the 83+ gfx section...which i think is pretty dumb since those would be ez to group together too. 1 Jul 2002, 17:04 GMT

Another Dead Summer Approaching Barrett heh, looks like some updated files and even a couple added ones on ticalc.org today... still no tankers 92+ though... --- -Barrett A 3 Jul 2002, 18:56 GMT

Another Dead Summer Approaching Barrett a lot more files went through on ticalc.org the other day.. not many 68k ones though... --- -Barrett A 8 Jul 2002, 21:08 GMT

Another Dead Summer Approaching zkostik yet another******load of useless basic crap and pics...what did you expect afterall, it's ticalc.org --- 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 8 Jul 2002, 22:24 GMT

Another Dead Summer Approaching MADMAN yeah this sucks 12 Jul 2002, 00:07 GMT

Another Dead Summer Approaching BullFrog Maybe they're having Henrik doing all the work since he's probably the only one left... Or maybe they're purpously(?) doing the pics and good for nothing programs just to piss the rest of us off... --- "Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds." -Franklin D.

Another Dead Summer Approaching Billy BullFrog's onto something there... its a conspiracy ;-) j/k 12 Jul 2002, 14:49 GMT

Another Dead Summer Approaching zkostik haha, I think some ppl just have too much time on their hands and of course a TI ( http://education.ti.com ) calc ;) Edit: Looks like Barrett overdone himself with all this link stuff on forum intelligence :) [Edited by zkostik on 12-Jul-02 23:35] --- 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 12 Jul 2002, 20:33 GMT

Another Dead Summer Approaching zkostik well, dead summer or now but we definitely got many things done here at CG. i hope everyone likes the new News system. i'd also like some feedback about it. --- 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 17 Jul 2002, 19:44 GMT
