 | | WannaBe: Dearest Susan,
When will the growing pain end? After how many years will this web site return to 'normal', or should we, the paying members accept the 'new normal'? We are no longer on Eastern Time Zone, took me a while to realize that. To do a "Server Upgrade", which I have no idea what was in the plans and which TOOK PLACE DURING THE F*#&$*@&@ Championship game 3, is a further surprise. (Hey, give us a God*&^&%^% heads up, like a banner, or something, or is this a totally new concept for CG.com now?) If no one at CG.com knows the schedule, here is the F&@W^#^ING link: https://www.chess.com/events/2021-f... It's on google, or any other chess related sites, I wonder if they did any server upgrade during this time. (What is this amateur hour here? Not ready for prime time like the ol' SNL?) I'm highly suspicious of the abilities and the capabilities of the higher-ups that is now running this place, we get fed nice words and the actions that does not match the words. I've been quiet, fairly, to be honest and to continuingly seeing just utter garbage. Pure crap. Workers (volunteers) that turns over, constant promises of improvements, and what have we/members really seen so far? Please give us a list of past accomplishments and future plan(s) outline. If it only serves the purses of humouring you and us. |

What time zone are we in now?
You realize there's "no such thing" as a time zone eh? It's just an arbitrary fantasy for bored people to fiddle around with. For example I just declared my own personal time zone. In my time zone it is now "Calm Down Everyone O'Clock." |

 | | MissScarlett: My impression is that the server upgrade, although planned, wasn't planned to happen when it did. Hence, it was unplanned planned rather than planned planned. Anyone who's been here as long as <WannaBe> ought to realise that it's pointless comparing <cg> with any of the major chess websites. They're operating on another financial level entirely, and, I imagine, have dozens of paid staff. If <cg> were to be subsumed by one of the big fish, the site would certainly become more professional and functional, but its corporate makeover would lose most of the charm. |

| | Susan Freeman: Half right <MissScarlett>
We want to keep our cozy charm😊
Truth is CG got too big for it’s britches and the server crashed.
Steve, due to his quick thinking and nimble actions, outsourced the remedy and upgraded the instance.
We are still in the cloud
We are good to go.
Steve deserves a big round of applause |

So <MissScarlett> was right yet again then. In this case it was a close call though, scoring 50%. Still, one is reminded of something President Reagan once said about himself: <"I was right half the time! I was batting .900!"> |
|
Nov-29-21
| | MissScarlett: Didn't Steve himself say during yesterday's game, before it came down: <We will be upgrading to a better server soon.>? So how am I wrong? |
|
Nov-29-21
| | Susan Freeman: But he did not mean that MINUTE. We had a sudden spike in CPU's. OK. you are right if it makes you happy. lol. |
|
Nov-29-21
| | MissScarlett: <But he did not mean that MINUTE.> But that's what I mean about it being unplanned. It had to be brought forward. |
|
Nov-29-21
| | Susan Freeman: The crash was not planned, but was indeed imminent. |
|
| Nov-29-21 | | George Wallace: < perfidious: There <are> other countries in this world than America, amazing as that may sound to one poster here.> Is there some reason the time should be set from another country? Why that country?
This is an American website, so it should be set EST. |

| Nov-29-21 | | Messiah: Do a planned crash! |
|
Nov-29-21
| | MissScarlett: Let's hope <Stonehenge> hasn't got the hump again. He's very temperamental that boy! |
|
Nov-29-21
| | Susan Freeman: <George> We schedule our work around that more convenient time. We don't have to do the daily things at midnight. No big deal. |

<Messiah: Do a planned crash!> Terrible! |

 | | Stonehenge: Someone has been uploading thousands of games lately. This has created dozens (if not many more) of duplicate games and player files. I can't say I'm overly happy with it. Please cut it out. Do some research first. |
|
Dec-02-21
| | Stonehenge: Just one example:
Original: Carlsen vs S Ernst, 2004 Duplicate: Carlsen vs S Ernst, 2004 |
|
Dec-02-21
 | | Tabanus: This "someone" should delete the new duplicates created. The Corus Group C (2004) page is not affected. I have long been expecting the TI events to become messed up, but somehow it has not happened yet. |
|
Dec-02-21
| | MissScarlett: Who is this someone?
In the new year, I think it's time that a select few (<zanzibore>, you're barred!) get together via email (my Whatsapp group idea sunk without trace) to discuss some data management issues. |
