Cafe Future
I guess I owe the group some kind of explanation of whats been going on with the website.

The website has gotten stale, and I finally got tired of updating this weird workflow I had. On top of that my hacked up admin page was pretty ghetto-tastic and pretty full of holes, so I had to remove it so as not to invite MALICIOUS HACKERS. The reason the website doesn't get updated as much is becuase we've finally grown a little tired/old of TF2, and in this awkward transition from our main game to some smaller side games (Dota2, PoE, etc) some priorities are being placed higher than others.

In the current websites place I have a new vision[beta.cafeofbrokendreams.com]. I don't want to give too much away here, so if you want to hear more then check out irc.veekun.com #cafe and ask about it. The new website will be more of a community blog, and it will have the same content that you can get today (mainly checking the TF2 server(s)).

But the group isn't dead. It's dying, and one day I will take it out back to finally put a loving bullet in it's head, but until that day - we will remain moderately ok.

Stay tuned for April.

Month long update:
So the beta has gotten a little more usable, and I'm nearing the point where I have to start making the website look better, not just work better.

I don't know if I'll be making it in time for the April release, but at the same time I don't think I care about replacing the current website with something that looks a little funky - because the current website is unmanageable.

Here is the longer wishlist so far.
  • Page for everyone who streams
  • Basic connection stats
  • IRC Stats
  • More robust threading/posting
  • Server/HTTP interactions
  • Cafe Shop

If there is anything else that sounds clever let me know, I'll be the only one still checking this page~

Doc, your posts are always the most depressing.

My posts are the only posts.

Just a sad old janitor cleaning up a mess he made himself the night before, planning for today.

Trading Cards are doing strange things to these lands...

Trading Cards are strange things indeed, but I think the server fills quickly when there are a few people and popular personalities in the server. :crate:
