Rogean it seems like you have lots of good ideas but insufficient manpower. I see your first mention of the magelo system on 8-4 over three months ago. Why not recruit someone like jetviper, who obviously has the time, inclination, and skill, to accomplish this? For a dedicated dev with some time it's a matter of a few days, max, not months. (Not an attack, just saying perhaps you don't ask for help enough).

Many reaons...

 It's part of a larger system being implemented for total integration, control, and management between the forums and the game server.

I was going to also mention in my last post that we are also upgrading some server parts soon, including additional hard drives and raid controllers. It goes without saying that a database that a magelo feeds off of should never be the production database, but a replicated backup database which is already in place. The additional hardware allows the magelo system load to be isolated and not affect the production server performance. It's considerations like this that reinforce our server's stability compared to others.

Things like these have been set in motion for a while now. And the system currently in place is specific for it. It's basically proprietary, and training someone for it would be time consuming on my part anyways.

Also, the biggest reason left for last is the access needed to implement it. We're talking about total access to the forums and website database, and atleast read access to the game database. That's a lot of access to give to someone I barely know.
