Q3ATest Messageboard

Things are hopping, id's Christian "Disruptor" Antkow updated his .plan with word on the official moderated Quake III Arena messageboard (temporary location.). Here's the poop:

I've written a message board for use in discussing the impending Q3Test releases. It's primary function will be a central place for you to post bugs so that we can quickly peruse the boards and see what some of the main problems are. It's still in development, there are a few problems that I still need to iron out, but it's mostly functional.

I'm interested in seeing how it performs under a high load. I originally used MS Access MDB format, but became frustrated with file locking issues with a minimal load of activity, so I spent most of the afternoon today installing MS SQL Server 7 and adjusting the code to work with it. Coming from a database background (Oracle at my previous job), I was quite impressed with SQL Server 7. Really easy to set up, and the performance seems very good.

Anyway, if you want to beat on it, it's temporarily located at;

http://underworld.idsoftware.com/cgi-win/webcon.exe

If any of you would like to use that as a discussion forum, and generate some data for the database, I'd appreciate it. If you find any serious bugs or get any error messages, please post in the "Q3Test: Bugs" forum.

The board will be moderated by id staff to retain it's focus. For general Quake 3 discussion, I highly recommend the Quake 3 messageboard at
