I apologize for problems from time to time, when you run a dedicated setup like we do it's prone to issues beyond our control at times. Sometimes stuff breaks on the site, such as the stats did the last couple days, sometimes plugins or game updates break other plugins, it's unavoidable, sometimes pings are goofy. A lot of these instances are causative by factors out of our control. For example the recent stats problem.
Stats work off several dependencies. On the website stats run off a perl daemon, it's set up on a cron job. On the server a sourcemod plugin creates the interface to send the data to the website. Every 3 minutes the cron job checks to see if the stats are running, if they are nothing is done, if they aren't it restarts the script. The stats failure was caused by stats running for 103 hours consecutively without restarting, I can only assume this resulted in a deprecation of the script and was glitching it out. I updated the stats, restarted the script, and seems to be ok.
We do our best here to maintain everything all the time, keep in mind we have jobs, we have wives, we have kids, sometimes we can't get to things right away. It's appreciated that when a problem is found someone makes us aware so we can get it fixed up.
Also keep in mind if there is a problem at times it is of no fault to anyone, it's just the regular grief that server admins put up with day to day. It's inevitable that at some point somethings going to fuck up.
So to the community thank you for all the support, thank you for helping us keep shit going and at the end of the day it is you that matter the most to TD, without you we would be nothing. We will continue to do our very best to offer a great place to be a part of. Peace.
