Title: Clan Information and S4project
Category: Site News
I have finally managed to get through the 800+ emails that have been sent so far, one by one.
First Thing: Clan Information
Alaplaya has had a bug with their clan information for the last couple of months, as such, clan information for players may be out of date.
This is something that you have to chase up with Alaplaya as there is nothing I can my end.
Second Thing: S4Project
Whilst reading the emails I noticed people
- suggesting a lot of features
- comparing S4P to S4DB and other S4L sites
- complaining that I'm not active enough
- and saying I've copied a lot of features from other S4L sites.
I should make a page about this but, for people that don't know:
- S4P is the first S4L database on-line (using scrappers and socket listeners to get character information.)
(Alaplaya then released their API to certain sites, and then new sites started popping up.)
- S4P is also the first S4L site to give out custom signatures, and proper rankings.
- S4P was the first S4L site to implement a clan system before Alaplaya even received one.
- S4P donated it's player lists to certain sites including S4DB to allow them to get started
(otherwise they would have to manually add players one by one.)
- S4P was the first S4L site to donate it's cached and formatted API to other users and sites.
S4project.net is just a database and custom signature site.
It's not meant to have social features, or tracking and I've decided to keep it that way because I don't think it's worth the effort.
So when you're suggesting ideas, please think them through before you send them to me.
As for my recent activity, the site is fully automated so there is nothing for me to do apart from apply patches and bugs.
