how about a download section with links to appropriate threads (toj english patch, das patches), sites (like [link removed]), skins, soundpacks, backgrounds, tools...

or you simply want to hide that stuff, and adding download section would make it more visible ?

[B]Changelog[/B]
# Bugs fixed:

* Important Change: Replication: When invoked, CHANGE MASTER TO and SET GLOBAL sql_slave_skip_counter now cause information to be written to the error log about the slave's state prior to execution of the statement. For CHANGE MASTER TO, this information includes the previous values for MASTER_HOST, MASTER_PORT, MASTER_LOG_FILE, and MASTER_LOG_POS. For SET GLOBAL SQL_SLAVE_SKIP_COUNTER, this information includes the previous values of sql_slave_skip_counter, the group relay log name, and the group relay log position. (Bug#43406, Bug#43407)
* Replication: The failure of a REVOKE statement was logged with the wrong error code, causing replication slaves to stop even when the failure was expected on the master. (Bug#51987)
* Certain path names passed to LOAD_FILE() could cause a server crash. (Bug#53417)
* When reporting a foreign key constraint violation during INSERT, InnoDB could display uninitialized data for the DB_TRX_ID and DB_ROLL_PTR system columns. (Bug#53202)
* InnoDB page splitting could enter an infinite loop for compressed tables. (Bug#52964)
* An overly strict assertion could fail during the purge of delete-marked records in DYNAMIC or COMPRESSED InnoDB tables that contain column prefix indexes. (Bug#52746)
* InnoDB attempted to choose off-page storage without ensuring that there was an “off-page storage” flag in the record header. To correct this, in DYNAMIC and COMPRESSED formats, InnoDB stores locally any non-BLOB columns having a maximum length not exceeding 256 bytes. This is because there is no room for the “external storage” flag when the maximum length is 255 bytes or less. This restriction trivially holds in REDUNDANT and COMPACT formats, because there InnoDB always stores locally columns having a length up to local_len = 788 bytes. (Bug#52745)
* Setting @@GLOBAL.debug to an empty string failed to clear the current debug settings. (Bug#52629)
* A memory leak occurred due to missing deallocation of the comparators array (a member of the Arg_comparator class). (Bug#52124)
* For debug builds, creating a view containing a subquery that might require collation adjustment caused an assertion to be raised. For example, this could occur if some items had different collations but the result collation could be adjusted to the one of them. (Bug#52120)
* Connections waiting for an InnoDB row lock ignored KILL until the row lock wait ended. Now, KILL during lock wait results in “query interrupted” instead of “lock wait timeout exceeded”. (Bug#51920)
* Locking involving the LOCK_plugin, LOCK_global_system_variables, and LOCK_status mutexes could deadlock. (Bug#51591)
* InnoDB fast index creation could incorrectly use a table copy in some cases. (Bug#50946)
* A syntactically invalid trigger could cause the server to crash when trying to list triggers. (Bug#50755)
* InnoDB Plugin checks to see whether a row could possibly exceed the maximum size if all columns are fully used. This produced Row size too large errors for some tables that could be created with the built-in InnoDB. Now the check is only done when innodb_strict_mode is enabled or if the table is dynamic or compressed. (Bug#50495)
* On Windows, the server failed to find a description for Event ID 100. (Bug#48042)
* For updates to InnoDB tables, TIMESTAMP columns could be updated even when no values actually changed. (Bug#47453)
* If the server is started with --skip-grant-tables, plugin loading and unloading should be disallowed, but the server failed to reject INSTALL PLUGIN and UNINSTALL PLUGIN statements. (Bug#46261)
* Storage engine plugins on Windows could've been built with a definition of time_t which was different from the server expectations. The difference could cause affected plugins to crash. In addition, the use of the time_t type in the storage engine API layer has been enforced. (Bug#39802, Bug#40092)
* When using UNINSTALL PLUGIN to remove a loaded plugin, open tables and connections caused mysqld to hang until the open connections had been closed. (Bug#39053)
* 1) In rare cases, if a thread was interrupted during a FLUSH PRIVILEGES operation, a debug assertion occurred later due to improper diagnostic area setup. 2) A KILL operation could cause a console error message referring to a diagnostic area state without first ensuring that the state existed. (Bug#33982)

Yeah, I don't know what it means either lol.

Recent update to the server today:

Code Select Expand

Patched all versions of Apache to make apxs compatible with Perl 5.12
Upgraded PHP Suhosin to 0.9.31
Updated EAccelerator to 0.9.6.1
Made PHP4 Java optmod conflict with PHP4 GD optmod
Updated all IonCube loaders to latest versions
Restored SourceGuardian tarballs to original naming system for compatability with phpextensionmgr

*EDIT*

Ladder feature for viewing other player's battles completed and implemented.
RSS feed support added to news articles

[caffeine]

auto lose points for inactivity

Does that mean you're implementing Glicko-2?

[hienwa]

John asked me to do some things for him:

Replace the rarely changed news banner on the main page with adsense so he could have actual prizes for tournaments and the ladder since TTC wasn't hosting anything.  He will remove it if it's too much of a problem.

He might use some money to hire a programmer for records section improvements like searching, shoutbox improvements, or ladder improvements.

He said to adblock it if it bothers you

He told me to tell you guys he will be back soon

[Blink]

Updates:

reverted news banner back, no more ad
Reverted wiki back due to complaints.
Updated to PHP 5.2.14
Updatd to MYSQL 5.1.47

[Blink]

I'm removing all trophies because after many tournaments it can get a bit messy looking.  

Instead I will be adding a page that lists previous hdo winners, community contest winners, as well as players of the month.  Give me time though I'm super busy these days.
