I could not agree more. This with stability was pointed out like 12-13 years ago and a suggestion then was to get someone who knows how to work with databases (and PHP back then) to take care of some parts. This was totally ignored by hwbot. As example HallOfFame does not work as it should.
GALAX Hall of Fame @ HWBOT
(look at the results and on some HOF-sub pages try out the links)
To make more people interested it is very easy to see who is logged in and to guess what new results that person might be interested in. Why not use that information?
This with leagues and points I hardy dont want to discuss. Personally I think it would be good to put yourself in the users position. Am I interested in results done with LN2/H2O? Am I interested in result in a "graphic" benchmark where people use expensive CPUs which I cannot affort? etc. I am really impressed by Rauf, Splave etc, but I cannot compete with them. If the site is for people to compete in computer benchmarks, why doesnt it show what I am interested in? For me it looks like the site is design to attract like 50-100 people. I feel it is a real pitty as I feel the website could be really, really great AND fun.
Just my 50 cents, cheers!
