As far as I know we don't realy recruit persay. Like we might tell them to get Ventrillo, but thats as far was we'll probally go. Mainly the person has to want to be in.
I have a few ideas of how to update the stats more regularly without lagging out the server... cause ive been on at 4:30 CT and felt the server choke when stats are updated. The stats are kept in a log file right? Are you using flat files for the stats or are you updating them in a database? If your using a database, its probably SQL or mySQL because PHP has issues with other database programs. If you let me know this info, and what other languages you use besides PHP, I would be more than willing to rewrite/write new or better code for you for free.
it's a perl program called SOF2 Logger. Links to the site where you can get it from are at the top of the stats page. It's just parsing the log file....
oh, thats easy... is there anything keeping you from adding more update times, like whenever the server has less than 10 people or something? or everyhour? Also, what kind of server are you running? Apache?
We're running IIS 5.0 right now, but it'll be apache soon.....as far as update times, i don't think we would do more than every four hours, but it also hinges on server performance. IDO would be the man to talk to. I do the website, but he runs the game servers and stats.
