FastPointGaming Redis/MySQL Database Management System
 
During the beta stages there will be two option for using this sytem.
 
You can either use our online platform (This requires no set-up so is useful for those unfamiliar with setting up local web severs).
 
Or you can download the sources files and host them on your own environment. (DELAYED).
I need to spend some time writing detailed documentation for installation and updating due to the frequency that updates are going to be released. I personally think that there is no point releasing the full source until we are at v1 release as the constant updates would require people to update regularly. People would be using outdated versions and posting bug reports when they could have actually been resolved in a newer version. Let me know your opinion however.
 
If you wish to use our online platform please register at: http://dev.fastpointgaming.com
Please note that your account will be wiped regularly as we constantly update our database structure, you may simply re-register.
 
Bug Reporting
Please report any bugs either here or on our forums, both will be monitored by us for bugs.

It appears that as server admin, we have to spend more time dealing with people disrupting game play, instead of fostering what we feel is better (mission updates, stat backend, etc). I like the idea of more people coming, but the overhead of the flux on the servers is mind boggling when you start dealing with multiple servers. We use to have 10 servers running at one time, who knows, maybe I might turn them all on again this weekend. 
 
We've seen plenty of 'hackers' come on our servers and cause havoc, it'll never stop but we try to be on TOP (pun intended, heh) of it as much as we can. Sometimes I ask myself what's the point of providing a place for everyone to play, to only spend our time combating people that just don't give a crap? 
 
The answer to that question is because in the end, the community of people we meet and build friendships out ways the hassle... at times.
