Muhahahah 2222 is such a round number (we are adding between 5 and 20 new users per day)



Also i've made several improvements to the site, most, if not all under the hood (you might just notice a general performance improvement) stuff like compressing css (the main css went from 18KB to 11KB), improving layout images (better quality with a smaller size) / remote mirror system for the layout & scripts / pushing some pictures (not layout) to high quality picture storage systems (like flickr or picasa)

just as a comparison on the home page of panchira (probably one of the most heavy and most filled pages on the site, with lots of stuff to load and therefore probably our slowest page... just in pictures there are 70+ pictures from posts and layout):

before my optimizations
1st run : 16.813 seconds to finish loading page (16!!!! FREANKIN SECONDS NOOOOO!!!!!!)
2nd run: 11.297 seconds to finish loading page (some stuff gets cached in the second run, like images and dns)

after my optimizations
1st run : 13.563 seconds to finish loading page
2nd run : 9.282 seconds to finish loading page

so i guess i shaved about 3 seconds from the site, not bad, not bad at all, ohhh and this is from me living in portugal (the server is around california, USA), if you live closer, i'm sure the site works faster hehehe well it might not be mind blowing new stuff, but i'm sure for the regular panchira users its always good to hear and they will notice the site being a bit more snappier hehehe i hope

ps1: .oO( also as a last note, yes this kind of stuff should be done from the start, like a proper web designer should do, but i'm more of a doing stuff quickly and launch quickly and then improving as i go along muahhahaha )
ps2:  .oO( go and vote for ...

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

like i said on my other post... i hate hosting companies, anyways all is good, new place, lets see if it works better, i do have some backup options for panchira incase of further meltdowns (some include the new panchira social network), but i'm sooo busy and have so much stuff i want to do... so please just wait a bit more and i'll guarantee that i'll make panchira bigger and better than EVAHHHH (shit happens but i seldom quit hehehe)

ohh and if you see any bug, weirdness or whatever, please reply and i'll be on it like a koala in heat... yeah... slow and steady baby... slow and steady muhahahah, no really i'll check into it

on a side note i'll decide tomorrow on the new senpai and i'll be making a bunch of new posts and hang around panchira almost 24/7 until the weekend just to make sure everything is working good and everyone is extra happy
