We’ve added the player cashflow graphs that we featured in the Isildur1 article you to the player opponents tab, you can view a sample on durrrr’s opponents page.
It is based off of the best friends and worst enemies list, and aims to give a general view of how the cash has flowed around a player. It is most effective at high stakes where the community of players is smaller, but it is still interesting for almost any player.
We hope you guys enjoy this new feature!

Hey guys in response to the problems we’ve been having with the speed of the website, especially during peak visitor hours, we’ve started load balancing! That means we now have 2 servers splitting the traffic that used to be served by one, which should give us plenty of room to grow
For the curious, both servers are Dual Quad core 2.66ghz Xeons with 32GB of memory

Hey guys,
We’ve been working on the database nodes the last few days and have had to bring them online and offline while they are undergoing routine maintenance.
Nothing is broken, yes we realize you might be getting partial results when you search for someone right now. This is basically just random based on whether or not data was cached when we had some database nodes offline. This will correct itself over time.
Thanks!

Hey guys,
You’re great! Well, mostly
The vast majority of you are intelligent, respectful, appreciative members and we love you for it. However, there are always a few bad apples out there. It is because of those bad apples that we’ve had to create a commenting and forum posting policy, which we will be enforcing strictly. We’re not looking to become nazis but these less respectful members have forced our hand in this regard.
