50MB of logs dating back to 2004 were processed to create the statistics shown. Har.

Well, it goes all the way back to 2004, so the probability of a random quote popping up that you don't remember is pretty high.

Kill statistics involve a process that is -much- more complicated. That said, we may be bringing them back in the near future, but nothing is concrete as of yet.

They were brought down due to concerns about the bandwidth and CPU usage. If you'd like to fix those problems for us, you're welcome to help, or we can put them back up if you don't mind lagging out whenever someone accesses the stats page.

maybe it would be possible to refresh the stats once a day for instance. And, do you have to store them on your server? Isn't it possible to have them on an other serv (i have a serv with unlimitted bandwith tranfert if you want...)?

The way the statistics currently work (assuming that they're still using my program) all statistics (kills etc.) are inserted into a mysql database. This is so that the statistics web page can dynamically show statistics (hide certain columns and search for players).

If I remember correctly it was due to high bandwidth consumption that it was practical only if the mysql server was on the same pc as the dedicated server (or on a pc directly linked to it through LAN). Having the php file hosted on another server would probably require even more bandwidth because it will have to query the mysql server that's on the dedicated server pc every time the page is requested.

There are ways to minimize cpu usage and prevent bandwidth usage by hosting the file on another server, but this will prevent the statistics from being 'live'.

If we want to do that then I'll have to talk with Zoph and Tas

We're looking into a solution to those issues, but can't say for certain how far we'll get.

Thats why I think we don't need the stats to be "live"

Well I could ajust the program so that instead of making a lot of queries to a mysql server, you can just run it at the end of the day, and it will keep track of all statistics internally, and then dump everything to a single .sql file, that you can input into any mysql database on any server.

This will use almost no bandwidth (except for the uploading of the .sql file), and you can set the priority of the program to very low so that it will not interfere with the giants dedicated server program (unless the dedicated program is using up all cpu, which I don't know)
