@Polan: Actually, as far as I'm concerned, the coding for Backloggery is very well done. Look at the source code. Now go to some big, corporate-owned site like facebook. Look at the source code.

Backloggery: Well organized, clean, functional, and no excess unneeded code. Site functions as it's supposed to. One programmer works on the site on his own time and isn't paid to do so.

Facebook: ...wtf. Have these people never even heard of the ENTER key?! what IS this? It looks like it was written by a fish! Many features don't always work such as the chat, message center, and other weird crap that shouldn't have trouble. Hundreds of programmers are paid to make the site work.


@Andy: if you go to the Changeloggery there have been some updates about the illness. It actually sounds pretty serious, imo :(

Wow that does sound serious... I hope he gets better soon. If I was in his condition, that's probably the last thing I'd be worried about is the remake.

Here is the channel log link if anyone wants to read it: http://backloggery.tumblr.com/

He said whenever it launches, there will be a donate option to help pay for a better server. I will totally help him out with that, I feel inspired by his efforts.

I'm just going based on what they said themselves. At some point they said that the code was shit and needed to be revamped.

Sure it looks clean, but how long did the server take to generate that page for you? Let's say 5 seconds. If they can cut that down to 2.5 seconds, that's half the time. As a result, the server essentially loses half it's load, because everyone that's loading pages takes half the time to do it.

Chances are crazy no-Enter pages like Facebook are completely computer generated, and no one even looks at the code you see. Take a look at a Google Search page's code. Do you think that someone ever went through all of that crap? No, it's all generated as needed. Facebook and many "corporate" sites do the same thing. It doesn't need to look nice, because no one is looking at it. In fact, having it look horrible turns people away from trying to figure out how their programs work to generate those sites, and might be a business practice to make them look like shit because no one on the actual team is looking at it because it's all computer generated.

I'm over two and a half myself.

I remember back when I tried to keep my :U: list under 100 games...at this point I gave up on that xD. Some games just can't keep me interested long enough to finish, which is why my NP list is so damn long (It's a reminder to myself to play those games .-.).
