Hello all..........
Well first off I would like to thank all active members in AAAA who have input and helped AAAA in all directions.........
At this point I wanted to do so much but have not had chance onlines of newsletter AAAA dev work and general improvement to what has been done so far............
I have not had any input for AAAA newsletter and to be honest not had time to knock it up and send it out so this posting is a quickie on where we are at..............
This is a AAAA statement on the current standings and where I hope we will be in 12mths 8O
I will first cover an issue of Sharpshot.gif who is no longer an admin of AAAA, I will not discuss any issues to this but I will HIGHLIGHT that his input and effort/help to AAAA is a credit to himself, and AAAA would not be in its current standing without his help - So I would like to thank Sharpshot for all his help in supporting and developing AAAA.
So current day.......
Issues for AAAA
Well any active member will know the AAAA league has been
flat lining but after a rally has been kick started which to be honest has made me switch my focus back to it to try and give it a reboot - I have had some feed back from a small portion of the active clans but for those who have shown an interest in keeping it going has given me new inspiration on spending more time on it and giving it ago..........
So at this point in my own personal life I am struggling to run AAAA and try and get mine and Bobs clan MEGA going so we can play matches as Mega, at present what ever time I have is spent on back office MOHAA rather than playing MOHAA, I Enjoy the backoffice but whats the point if I cant play it........... 
So I am now asking for some HELP...........
What help does AAAA need.............
We need help with keeping the match servers going........
AAAA match server one is now knackered I think as a result of the last emergency reborn update - not been able to fix it because it was on auto restart via TCADMIN on GD which had an issue - the TCADMIN issue has has now been resolved not sure if I will get chance next few days to reinstall Reborn patch on it but as a stop gap have started AAAA match server 2 which has same access setup as match server 1.....(I hope....please check before you use it) So some volunteers to look after match server's would help a lot - they should run themselves but I need the Admins to step up and look after them so if you need to use them please keep an eye on them and maintain them 
They are their to be used by all active clans in AAAA so if you need a match server for a friendly they are their to be used - perhaps just drop a note on forum on AAAA server section to say its in use their are two and I would gladly create more if they are getting used and double booked
AAAA Website.............
I would just ask active Admins / moderators to keep an eye on it - most days I am on but starting to find that I need to rely on others to care of day to day running as I know soon my wife is due to give birth and my time will be limited
The new AAAA League front end can support player stats but I dont see this as solution for this - Its stats will be team based - I would still like to sort out statsgen as a player stats end to incorporate into the new fontend but it has a major issue with multi clans and Alias filter it does not work with existing 5 clans - can work with 3 but goes tits up after that plus never got FT stats working as we wanted - unfortunately I never got round to fixing this and need to go back to statsgen developers to see if their are any solutions for multi clans in its use....again not had time to progress this I am affraid but once I have finished new league front end thats next on my list to either resolve or find a workable solution.
So AAAA now and future..........
So as above I am working on a completely new front end to AAAA MOHAAA League, it is a complete replacement for AAAA League to which I hope will keep what we have developed so far but give it the frame work to progress, expand and present on a more professional enjoyable scale.............
The basics are now all running and I am into the tidy up stages so depending on my own circumstances days rather than weeks to launch I hope but who knows with bloody computers
Which brings me back to the point of help...........
According to our membership we have 349 registered users from across the globe - active / input and support from that is about 5%.
My problem is I need help across areas - not just tech help in running maintain and dev work but day to day basic stuff like mod work and admin server work ie server down restart it stuff like that
So AAAA future..........
Will finish off AAAA league framework to see if that helps to support existing clans and then progress to improve and expand the league..........
Find a workable solution to player stats in League to meat are initial objective for player stats..........
All existing wish list projects are in progress else where - such as Map Database is in development under Scapp.net as you know AAAA Anticheat is now based on Reborn Xnull project........
I hope this little summary has put a small picture round AAAA and I am sorry some aspects are falling behind but do feel we are getting their.........
Ok - thanks Voy
Re match servers - not getting any bad feed back from them - I asked SKS and FRS from their matches and they said they ran g8 -
If their are issues with match servers then they need to be raised - not seen any posts so far regarding performance issue's (I know only 3 matches played) as you know I not played a match on them recently but the others seem to say they ran well ??
Feed back all
Match server 1 knackerd at present but match server 2 up - think reborn emergency update caused problem on match server 1 think maybe because of UK version which could also effect Match server 2 as it will auto update but not had chance to have a look - was going to reinstall reborn on match server 1 to see if that cleared problem but not had chance ((((
Re GD - Well I for one know how many issues we have had from loosing website to loosing whole dedi box and recently TCADMIN issue........
but to be fair they say they cover 10 till 22:00 and they do - despite all the issues when ever I raise a ticket I get a human reply within 10 mins!!! ok some of the issues have taken 24hrs to resolve but I get a lot of back office support from them on dev and tech support - all I know is I can ask for help and I get it...
So going on a percentage of availability past 6 months accross website and server AAAA has had a good few hits which is not good but from a support view I would not want to move.......
Having said that the next few months will be interesting to see if we get the stability back as we have had hits on all fronts so open book on that..........
As for Dedi box yep Linux may be the speed master but I have not got the time or know how to support multi Linux based servers, the hardware and performance of the current AAAA dedi box runs at under 50% capacity and any individual server performance issues have been the result of various mods / patches but again the feed back I have on here is that their are no performance issues with match servers ????
If their are then I will defo look into it again
Will do a poll for the ones who have used it recently to see what they all think and take it from their
Cheers Jon
