What's up with the Cag-O-Matic?

[Admiral Ackbar]

I've noticed that early in the day you get a blank page. Then around midafternoon you'll get the page header but no games. Then late afternoon the games will be listed?

Is the hampster not twirling his wheel enough to scour the web before midafternoon?

Or does Cagbot moonlight as a pimpbot in the wee hours of the morning and needs time to recover?

Amazon's feed has been crapping out lately which is causing the problem...
When you see the white screen, that means the price tracker is running (i think).
We are going to be making some upgrades to the CAG-O-Matic in the near future.

Oh yeah, its a trap!

[hutno]

Ive been checking out the price tracker lately and havent seen any ebgames updates. I figured I'd bump this just to see whats up?

It's been working fine for me.

Yeah, some of the data feeds we pull take a few hours. One of the upgrades I'll be making soon is to keep the previous day's results and then just overwrite it all at once when the new day's prices are ready. No more blank or half finished page.

I missed that the first time, It must not have loaded by the time I read the thread. Now I wish I hadn't asked. :puke:

[CheapyD]

Yeah...that didn't used to be there...my guess is that the host of the original image wasn't keen on the hotlinking...

We are working on the CAG-O-Matic and hope to have it up and running with some new features soon.

We are working on the CAG-O-Matic and hope to have it up and running with some new features soon.No, I wasn't exactly keen on hotlinking. Let that be a lesson. Bandwidth costs money.

[CheapyD]

You could have just messaged someone to let them know there was a problem, instead of changing the image to something really nasty. It seems that would be the easier and more mature course of action. Especially since pictures of the inside of assholes still use bandwidth the same as any other image.

There are ways to prevent hotlinking off your server that don't involve anus.

[CheapyD]

Our definitions of "exciting" differ greatly.
Under no circumstances do I find a man's anus exciting. Maybe if $1,000 bills were flying out of it, but thats not likely to happen.

Here's an awesome song, writen by the sexy and talented DJ Joshums

http://goatse.cx.mp3 ⌐ 2002 lyrics and performance DJ Joshums

Sign on the chat, type in the Url
Tell them it's a picture of a hot naked girl.
Or instructions on getting into E3
When they click they'll be surprised what they see.
It's an internet sensation, rocking the nation.
Much more fun than playing playstation
Millions of minds this site did perplex.
and they call it goat se dot cx.

Chorus (x2)
G to the O to the A-T-S-E to the dot to the C to the X
Saw it in the chat, clicked on the link, $$$0t got goatse.cxed

It's quite disturbing, disgusting, and heinous
To click the link and see a gaping anus
but you won't want to look away
and just because you like it doesn't make you gay
cuz there's something hypnotic about that huge red mess
this isn't your ordinary every day ass
When you close your eyes you will see his behind
oh Sweet goatse, I can't get you out of my mind.

(Chorus x2)

So the next time you're in a chatroom, type in http://goatse.cx (http://goatse.cx/), and make
all the $$$0ts your bitches. And tell them to fear teh Joshums, or I'll
put the shizzle down on your hizzle. Peace. This rap is done.
