Introduction

So, I figured it is about time a SCL report was posted. Unfortunately though, most of the stuff I'm working on is classified, so the remainder of this report will be in code.

<div class="divider">### SCL Q&A </div>
Q: Socorra asks: WHY ARE THERE CGI ERRORS? (just kidding)
A: Mainly because the server sucks... Without going into technicalities, the site currently is a mixture of several programming languages mixed together, neither of which runs entirely stable. This causes the server's memory to fill up and start causing CGI errors. The frequency of these will increase and increase up to the point where we poke Jac to harass the hosting company to reboot the server, which fixes the problem (if only for a short while). In order to move over to a new and more stable server, we first need to convert everything to one language so we can use a server that provides stable support for that one language, instead of doing a half-baked job for several.

Q: Lenzar asks: Would it be possible to link the Wiki, Fora and website itself all under one login?
Actually, that's being worked on, see the projects section for more information.

Q: TR asks: We've been told that there's a posessions system coming for some time, but some people don't understand what the delay is. Can you provide a simplified breakdown of what's involved in the coding to make people understand why it's a hard, time consuming project?
_Speaking in the words of our wise Grand Master:
_<pre>19:20 <@Muz> <scl> Goddamnit, Muz. I'll get to it when we finish unborking the site. :P</scl></pre>
Basically, everything I currently add to the site will increase the number of CGI errors you will see. So making a choice between constant CGI errors and being unable to view the fancy new possessions system and first fixing the site and then coding the possessions system, I think you can imagine what our choice was. :P

Well, that's it guys... Sorry I can't tell you more.

P.S. I'd like to thank Orv for this report layout, which I shamelessly borrowed :)</div>
