Thanks to our boys working Yarold's we have managed to cross the 1000+ a day population mark. I also discovered a couple of new tricks with the exchanges that I am unfortunately not including in the FAQ :p

Time will tell whether we can average 1000 pop a day but if we can keep this up for a while we should gain some higher ranker pretty quick. Thanks for all your help guys!

I will be away for the next couple of days, so I won't be able to do Yarolds. I have quickly gotten 400 credits on it which should last a day and a bit, but they might not last the full 2 days. I will get a few more, but I have to go in a couple of hours, so I probably won't get much more.

I wonder if Da_skunk would be willing to work Yarolds while you are away. Yarolds is one of the main reasons we are catching up right now even though those 400 credits you amassed will last a day. I am on the last day before my Windows deactivates on this computer so hopefully replacing the hard drive with my crashed motherboard computers hard drive with good windows will keep me up but it is possible I could be out of a computer again for a couple of days.

I would like too, but I've been busy now that school started, and I don't think ill have time.

I can still visit the site while I'm here though! :D *Goes to thehelper town*

Does anyone but me still go to KJ's?

KJ's:
Unemployment 5%
Transport 95%
Crime rate 6%
Pollution 6%

EDIT: I stilll haven't gotten into a dynasty either. A guy "Mailed" me to say wellcome in; acting like he accepted me, but it does seem like I'm in one.. Well, sorry I couldn't help this time. =/

Try joining the International Mmc aliance. I got into their Dynasty really easily. I get about 200+ credits a day from them and I am not sure how many clicks.

Oh yes, and btw I am back :p

I did try to join that one.

I got a message saying "Wellcome" and I appeared on the list of members, but dynasty exchange remains empty.

It doesn't really matter though, becuase I would be too busy to use it anyways.

Back to #18 (once more) :p

His stats show that he stepped it up as soon as we passed him. We might see saw back and forth for a while. If we can get Yarolds going full power we should be able to put some distance depending on what he is doing.

Here are his stats

http://mmc.urs.tw/detail.php?mmc=idarionis

go to the bottom and check the daily history and notice the jump from 665 to 920 in population.

Already some time before getting passed (times in GMT+2):

No need to, I have more fine-grained data. It's also better suited for drawing useless graphs. :D

Looks like I will need to do some overtime on Yarolds.

Id-Whatever is at 16, we're at 18 and there is someone new infront of us. :(

No there isn't. We just passed Retromundi. You just saw when they passed them. We are now 17 right behind Id-whatever.

Something happened yesterday - we lost 200 clicks on our population. I guess possibly Id-whatever could have redirected all the hits for us to non population on his link exchange. It is probably what I would have done if I were him. Interesting to see if this trend continues.

Id-whatever has a link exchange? And we're using it?

Not really. It looks more like the normal fluctuation, just compare against the last 30 days (yesterday at the very bottom). If you're getting more hits (>1900), they go into "Other" most of the time.

Why didn't you submit the redirection page hosted on your own site, rather than hoping that some third party doesn't "cheat"?

General chit-chat
Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits
  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
