mctrivia: Yes, second that.

rednaz23: To have the system check the database on every game to see if a recent message was written every time the main page loads would take a lot of extra time in my opinion. It would be neat, maybe even as an option that some can turn on if they don't have a lot of game (as long as it does not slow down the rest of the site) - but I think a striped down version that makes as little as possible lookups to the database & such would be the best....

coan.net: such a "stripped down" mode could be automatically activated for everyone when one of the servers goes down for some reason and the other(s) get overloaded. That way, there'd be a lot less load for the remaining server(s) on desperate times when every single byte of bandwidth counts...

coan.net: Neat? It would be fantastic! For those that don't want to see games with a message, have too many games, or don't want the extra milli-second it would take to load; they can simply check the box so it is off in the settings page.

Fencer: So since it will take some extra time or bandwidth for this idea it won't be implemented? If this idea slows the site speed for others, I can understand the arguement, but if it is only the individual person's load time, then it will be worth it to me and probably many others...
