TopRetros Topsite API ~ Promote and enjoy retros!

I know I've said this, and I'm happy you've guys came along if anything it gives him the motivation as I do believe you guys can offer competition - but this new rebuild/recode of TheHabbos will also include a moderation panel to prevent boosters.

But enough of that, don't want to change the topic, good luck with the site hopefully you guys can have a long, as not many topsites do have a long run. :P

If thehabbos is still built on aardvark.

I am dissapoint..

As I have stated part of my reason was to give Josh some boost to actually step in gear and get TheHabbos the much needed push it has been awaiting. Even stating that, that doesn't mean we don't want to compete, we want to bring our A-Game and actually have competition between TopRetros and TheHabbos. I know TheHabbos has been open for awhile now, but every king loses its reign sooner then later, and I believe TopRetros can take that from TheHabbos, but it will take a lot of work from the TopRetros team. I am not being cocky, as it won't happen over night. TheHabbos is a great topsite, and I appreciate Josh for everything he has done with it past and current, and wish itself a great run in the future.


UPDATE:

Louis, does it have a validate url?

www.topretros.me/validate.php?username={username}&ip={ip}

If not, then are you going to do one?
Just a question..

Also I forgot to update the thread on how I added a Validate script, so you could start to force vote people if you wanted to. In order to Validate, the link would be something like...

http://retroapi.com/validate.php?username={USERNAME}&ip={IP}

You clearly haven't Beta tested what Josh has in-store for the new thehabbos then have you. It would top any feature Habjoy adds.

You could never top thehabbos with opening topsites, as Skeet said earlier, only small retros benefit from these sites as the larger retros that actually bring in the crowd, you need them more than they need you.

And how are supposed to see it if it's not public?
Moron!

Did you even go to the link sledmore posted? It says the following:
"The site will be up from time to time for public testing."

I have seen it and tested it. Moron.

We understand you are on Rasta's dick, but this isn't a thread about his website.. Stop talking about it.

Last time i checked i was just stating my opinion and backing myself up when someone calls me a moron.

I will get back ontopic now though.

Improved the site by adding more CSS Transitions :) Enjoy!

Your website is not loading for me at all as of posting this.

I have noticed the slow page loads recently. I have contacted our provider about this issue and it should be resolved soon :)

why not just host it on a low end VPS which you have full control over. These Days it makes no sense to use shared webhosting (I assume you're using that).

This is the Habbo section. I don't think many of them have our thinking abilities.

We aren't going to go out and buy a VPS straight away for just running a website. I have a spare VPS that I will move it over to when it is necessary. Right now it is suitable to run on a webhost.

But it obviously isn't though. A VPS costs a little bit more than shared hosting. But the stability a VPS will give you will benefit you in the long run.

Agreed. I will work on moving that over within the days to come.



Not the fastest VPS, but it doesn't need more RAM :p I am upgrading it to a 3.6Ghz Processor soon. Also has 1000Mbps so uplink will not be an issue.

I don't get how using a VPS is better having shared web hosting, there's more chance of the site being down more on a low end VPS, i just don't get it, but if thats the case use a linux vps, not windows.

[xJP]

Interesting and 'unique' website concept, considering.

That's completely wrong actually. The chances of it being down are very small depending on what company you choose. I've heard nothing but good things from BuyVM - Affordable VPS hosting with a touch of insanity. I have a box there and I've had 0 downtime.

To bad their filtered IPs don't support Layer 7 attacks.

I meant from DDOS attacks and that crap.

[Matthew]

Mmm true. I wasn't referring to the DDoS protected IPs, just the hosting its self. Its a good, cheap VPS host for small things.

[Wreckless]

Looks great, will be using it very soon! :) I have a suggestion, I'll PM it to you so it doesn't get stolen by other TopSites.

[iRaged]

UPDATE: Been busy with the Phoenix issue. I haven't made any major changes recently, but I have started to code an idea a user suggested for us :)

[iRaged]

Added tab indexes to make registering and logging in smoother :)

[Lazarus]

Okay sorry for everyone for the lack of updating on my side. I have been extremely busy with school. I am almost out of high school and things kind of got hectic the last week. I promise to be more active with topretros now as I have gotten it out of the way. If you have any suggestions please post the ideas here or PM me!

I have added a report button just so you guys can now report a retro that is inappropriate or violating the terms.
