    Okay, so I'll be nice. Who wants me to try and preserve their post count for today? (No promises.)

        @toksyuryel @rozeluck Messing around with @welcomepony, which will cause it to forget the post count it has logged for you guys unless I write it down and restore it manually or something.

          @minti Yeah you should probably have it remember that stuff. Seems kind of important.

            @toksyuryel Right now it's just an in-memory array. I'm making it write to a database now after the update so I can have juicy statistics and stuff. >:D

              @minti If using an SQL database and if you have a choice in what database software to use, might I suggest using PostgreSQL?

                @toksyuryel I have no experience setting up such a database, so I think I'll stick with something I know how to administer/optimize. :p

                  @minti MySQL is kind of terrible. It's worth the time to learn something new ☺ besides, isn't all of this supposed to be a learning experience for you anyway?

                    @toksyuryel MySQL and InnoDB is what we have.

                      @mrdragon Alright then, so the "if you have a choice" qualifier is unsatisfied.

                    @toksyuryel It's also what's generally avaliable in normal environments, so I'd be learning it and then most likely never use it again. :P But still, you have a point, I'll think about it. Thanks!
