ranking.pl backend database dropped FOR NOW, to be restored soon

Well, re: the last entry, it's unfortunately come to this and I've had to drop the entire database. I will now begin migrating arcturus.su to a new server I have purchased, and rebuild the database there. I can't say for sure how long this will take but I will try to get it done reasonably soon because the ranking.pl tool is quite popular.

The new service will offer the same features as the old, along with:

  • tracking of actual rank (and some nice graphing I hope)
  • possible pseudo-rank/rate for private lobbies, e.g. it will offer a dan and R for L7447
  • more integrity (data wise - expect 100% accuracy this time)
  • possibly more up-to-date insertion of data, rather than every 24hours

Stay tuned I guess. Also I want to get rid of this hatena blog thing, it's really shitty. I might write something of my own.
