Upgrading Our High Score System

Posted on Jan 25, 2010 at 12:00pm

As many have already noticed we have taken our high score and game sharing service offline temporarily. We are doing some database upgrades and are hoping to have it back up soon. We appreciate you patience and will keep you posted on the upgrade process.

  1. OMG high score updating thingy!
    I hope it will be good.

  2. i bet it no different.. surprise me

  3. COOL! I hope it'll be like the top 250 instead of 100, or they add week leaders and daily leaders. That would rule

  4. New system? I would love if you like added some special stuff or avatars for those who get to to 100 or 250

    1. that would be awsome

  5. If you did actaully add special stuff + acheivements and Armatars for those who get in top 250 it will = Hacking!

  6. *Sigh. I always hope for something, but once again, they didn't change ANYTHING. Darn it.

  7. I appreciate "you" use of grammar + spellcheck when posting announcements.

    <3

    1. dork who cares

  8. I hope it will good

  9. I miss the CTC sharing service. :(

  10. First of all, I really don't care if you take Armor points away from me because of this post but, I cannot believe that you would shut down a service - "the shares" for a week, then decide that you can't fix the thing then, re-implement it for a few hours which failed miserably (version 6.1.9) then shut it down again.  Have you guys given up?  Then implement the one that worked and let us post on Crush the Castle Players Pack as we did before!!!

    Fix it in the background but not on your servers - use the web for testing because on your servers it will probably work but it is a whole different world on the wonderful spammy WWW.

    Your shares are way too slow and way too complicated and chew up too much bandwidth.  It's nice but, not practical until some smart guy figures out the that the pics should be thumbnails no more than 7 kb in size.  How are you going to do that?

    Armor Games needs to learn that shutting down a service for a week is not acceptable on the fast paced competitive internet world and people are moving away from this site (including to Jay is Games and is a site that I have never had a problem and as well, Kontraband). They all have games and advertisements to support their sites but, they rarely go down to the dreaded 503 Error.  Read some of the posts!  Some posts are actually directing frustrated gamers to other web pages!

    Secondly, do not ignore your clients (you know - the people that click either intentionally or accidentally on your advertisements - well placed I might add, that give you money to continue!) and keep us informed - not just a casual statement - "hurrah hurrah - we are fixing this and that (but really don't know how) but we will be back soon with bigger and better things!

    Robin Allen from Foon.co.uk - which appears to extinct as of a few months ago (which brought to Armor Games).  Made his shares simple.

    Simple line thread giving the title if any and the author if any (which could be anonymous but don't allow that because they are usually spammers).

    Three lines:  Newest, Greatest, Random
    With a list of 20 to 30 games underneath each title.  He also had an "All" button that, took time to load but would give you all the levels posted by votes.

    Oh yes - the voting system.  You should not be able to exit a game without voting for the game you have played and my preference is this model. "Like it" and "Doh".  The "Like it" games get a point and the "Doh" get nothing.  That way you can set a minimum standard each month to eliminate games that are bogus and useless in the shares.

    KISS - Keep it simple...

    People are here to play some great games on this website but you are not really catering to these people by implementing BETA programming that doesn't work and shutting down many of the features of Armor Games!

    Move it to another platform for some of us to test and comment.  Leave what worked before until you get it right.  I have time and am willing to test stuff and I have a lot of computer power to do that if need be to get the job done.

    Robin Allen (I speak of him highly don't I?) put up specifically a beta game called Netshift - It had shares and a level editor.  It took a month to fix most of the bugs by a few dedicated and competent testers.  He introduced it as beta and we found a few more issues which he quickly fixed.  When he was to introduce the final version, the website disappeared - and thus, I found Armor games in October 2009.

    I see that Armor Games is donating monies to Haiti from Crush the Castle but, just think of the money you would have made if you had a proper share system working!!!?

    For those that took the time to read this rant, I suggest that you find the time to find a good sponsor to send money to the Haiti relief fund.  I sent mine to World Vision.

    And so my rant has ended.  Have a good day and I apologize profusely for my extended comment.

  28. Hello, everyone, I noticed many styles and colorful MBT shoes gradually appearing in the street. Then I search it on Google, I found MBT shoe is very useful for our health. MBT shoes can shape your body and active your muscles, also can help you to lose weight. So how to benefit them? In my opinion, buying cheap MBT shoes and discount MBT shoes is the best choice to enjoy MBTs. Almost everyone choose buying MBT discount online with free shipping, that is worthy, strongly recommended. All in all, in MBT sale store, buying MBT discount shoes is perfect way to enjoy benefits and make you and all your friends around you healthier. Action now.
