I've decided to shutdown social for the time being until a brand new website takes it's place! Site will go down 1st July 2012 until a date that is still in progress. Because the site was rushed before, the styles of the whole site where inconsistent as well as being dull. I have alot of hopes and i...

I have been working recently on a new site layout [VERY EARLY stages]. Can you please check it out and give me feedback on it's design. It does not work with internet explorer fully yet, and I don't want criticism on the site code or the lack of content on the main banner. It's at dasocial[dot]net/s...

Ok fair point.
Its not really an issue, but the speed in which the user gets the response is at least 200ms. The 200ms delay is on a seperate thread and not on the listener.

I now have 2 pages setup, a twitter and facebook. http://www.facebook.com/DaSocialNet and http://www.twitter.com/DaSocialNet
Also, the site is going offline at 9PM today (GMT) (properly this time :P)

Optimally it would be handled asynchronously and event-based. The server would have a listener thread that fires an event any time it receives an incoming request / response. Not sure what the synchronous alternative would be. Like I said, the example code was super simplified, I already have async...

Just wondering if you guys can help with this very annoying error in the server. while(networkStream.DataAvailable) { byte[] packet = new byte[512]; int read = networkStream.Read(packet, 0, packet.Length); if(read==0){break;} System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200); if(!networkStream.DataAvailable){break...

This is embarrising :L, I cannot get SQL working 100% with Social in the time I given myself to do it, so the site is not SQL yet. I didn't realise how many subsystems relied on the previous database architecture as well as how it managed entry identities

SQL implimentation is nearly in, I just now need to convert the current database to the new one, which means, I need to take the site down for a few hours.
Social will be offline to all 650 (and counting) users on 22nd June 2012 at 9pm for 2.5 hours (GMT)

so I guess forwarding the traffic from the main server to the auxiliary will be the key? Why would you be running two different web servers at the same time? Use apache and configure a virtual host. It's really easy, google it. I simply can't use apache, the site itself is built into the webserver ...

I now have a blog http://www.dasocial.net/blog :P, and dreamland.dasocial.net is now live (with iframe :L) It is iframe because it a temp measure for now. Regarding port forwarding, I already do that, and it's not multiple server (hardware) but multiple server software running on the same hardware s...

I've decided i'm going to cheat a bit, the main server will host "dreamland.dasocial.net" but will produce an iframe which links to dasocial.net:51 (it's 51 for area51 :D)

Erm, I have subdomains set in place now, but I need to make a subdomain seem it's port 80 port its port 90, or, a subdomain point to a different internal server. (May need the main web server to re-route traffic maybe?) That would require setting up port-forwarding on your router. Port 80 is alread...

Not at all, I knew the purpose was to "beta test" it. Everything I tried seemed to work (which was logging in, seeing the "no friends" message and creating a "hello world" post). Okay, think it's a good idea to open up a "dreamland.dasocial.net" (like phpBB's...

OK, but I think you should put a message there. It took me some time to realize that was the problem, and it can be frustrating to others who can't sign in even though they are doing everything right. Hmm, I think it won't be necessary to have a message there to say that those characters are not su...
