I'm really quite drunk atm, but as a lurk and trawl through webspace i notice security seems to be of an issue

i can recommend and help implement a more secure infrastructure for the site but it would be solely based on donations. meaning more donations = more security.

but as we are all apparently reluctant in that area id recommend a localised google play app distributed via weblink containing the forum but what would i know

Sounds like a headache to me..
What Security issues exactly are you referring to?
Other 'n that, good to have you on the forum man. Stick around :D

Having a look at member stats again...

439 out of 708 have made zero posts (62%).

134 have made between 1 and 5 posts (19%).

59 have made between 6 and 20 posts (8%).

46 have made between 21 and 99 posts (7%).

Which leaves the remaining 30 who have made 100+ posts (4%).

(Percentages have either been rounded up or down).

^Hm, interesting.
I wonder if other open forums (like UER) have similar stats per capita?

I would say that any forum which is open to anyone to join will have a huge shift between the amount of active members and lurkers.

Nice work with the stats BTW, thanks.

God knows how many forums I've registered with, just to find some info, or was just curious - and never posted.
I imagine I'd still be on the member list for several, and although I would fully understand if I was 'pruned', I still lurk often in a couple of forums.

Maybe delete accounts with less than x posts, let's say 10 posts, that also have not logged in since 3 months ago? Or even better;

Code: Select all

//Slightly pseudocode to make it easier to understand and mostly C (probably).

function deleteAccount (int postCount, int daysSinceLogon) {
    int minPost = 10;
    int minDays = 7; //Minimum inactive days before deleting if on < 2 posts.
    int daysLeft;
    bool result;

    if (postCount >= minPost) result = false;
    else {
        if (postCount < 1) postCount = 1;
        //So lurkers won't be deleted and we don't divide by zero.
        daysLeft = minDays - ((daysSinceLogon + (postCount - 1))/ postCount);
        if (daysLeft < 0) result = true;
        }
    return result;
} 
I hope I didn't make any logic errors. This way everyone can be happy, except for the odd one who's always unhappy. It should be easy to implement, though I confess to not knowing anything about PHP. If you could see number of logons in a certain period, it would be a lot more accurate. Besides, you can always combine this with emails and whatnot to be extra effective.

That's something I'd have zero knowledge in. :lol: I assume that it can be done in mySQL. :D

what is this squirrel stuff, every now and then this site returns a squirrel or something, too many connections maybe??

Lol darn squirrels. It's a relational a database that stores tables which each contain things like users, posts, forum settings etc. Pretty much everything you see here except for the layout.

The error is because squirrels have a maximum number of connections they can handle (usually depending on its settings).

Now, I'm being presumptuous here, but it's possible that another user on the same shared host (where UEGA is (maybe) hosted) is hogging squirrel connections preventing UEGA from using them, or the setting for UEGA is too low. The web host should be able to raise the limit.

I don't suppose someone would be doing a DDOS on UEGA?

Only the logs would tell, but my guess would be no. Or it's a pretty crappy DDOS :P The fact that we get the SQL error signifies that the bandwidth/CPU strain on the server isn't affected.
Of course I could be wrong!
