Hello good sirs of Halomaps.org,

The reason for writing today is me asking for a little favor.
As some of you might know HaloRank (that Halo statistics project, which I've been working on for long long time) basically crashed back in Nov "11 due to scalability issues. Too many servers got connected and the code I wrote was not optimized to handle such amount of incoming data. The database design was bad which caused the server load to hit numbers beyond healthy (8.00), it was actually a miracle that it ran for a few months.

In the course of the last two quarters I've been slowly updating the HaloRank code and have changed the design of the database which lead me to today's request, being:

"Could you please run a Halo server with an updated version of Gandanur server app which I hold, for a time span of a week or two?"

Reason for asking, I want to stress test the newly designed database and code to know if it can withstand a large amount of servers and if not, what the current limit is.

If you are able to help, please leave a reply here or contact me by m4il: sean at halorank.com

Let me see what I can do.

I've had a Gandanur server running for a long time, I'll enable ranks on it later.

Edit: I read the Gandanur documentation, it says it requires a key. For testing do you have that disabled or am I not eligible to help? Haha

See PM, I have send you a server key with instructions.
Also don't forget to replace the .dlls with the updated one.
