UPDATE:
Russian client coming soon.

By this, do you mean compatible, and able to switch your client language and it'll show Russian?

Nope
 
UPDATES:
- Moved to a 32gb OVH game dedi, which has been split into VPS's for each language. A master server is used for MySQL.
- Have created an application which loads habsays site, and if it stops responding, it enables cloudflare under attack mode via their APIs.
TO DO:
- Make the application enable captcha rather than the under attack mode.

To be honest I like the hotel, they always seem to run smoothly whatever project you own.

There's one thing I can't get my head around, the global online users don't match the users online in the new splash screen, it's over double?!

I agree with the running smoothly comment, Josh always does a good job!

because they obviously use a fake user count, lmao put 2+2 together

 

[Haid]

Their own splash page numbers in comparison to their "global online" count shows a clear disparity that is ironically exactly x2..?

They also fake votes. Did you notice how they were hitting 400+ votes to beat Rise, magically matching Peaks votes which gets a legit 100+ online then suddenly dropped to 250+ votes when Rise took themselves off FR. Now Rise is back, Habsay are back to almost 400 votes. Noticed NGH and Cabbo also do this. Seems fishy to me.

Legit said the same thing a few hours ago, it’s brilliant.

nothing brilliant about it joe, it's embarrassing lmao

but obviously findretros staff don't care.

Don't really agree with this. In a situation such as this their tools are pretty limited - if I remember correctly the mods can't even see where votes are coming from so how do you prove that they're boosting without constantly watching a hotels online count which, in itself, is pretty unreliable.

Faking user count doesn't really help the hotel in the long run but it's quite damaging to the already teetering FindRetros.
Shame 'cause otherwise the hotel looks pretty good!

I think its debateable to see who is faking and who is real, but I get your point as well. Maybe thats true about limited things they can do, but maybe thats also a discussion thats needed to be had so it can be monitored better and with more care.

Wess literally came on our hotel twice and made us show him the rooms to prove our user count was legit (and wanted rights/permissions to look around freely in future.. just no)... Completely ridiculous, but they've done stuff like this before.

I personally don't think verifying user counts is necessary, especially considering it's not even put on the FindRetros list. Putting more effort into blocking fake votes is the best way to go forward, but with FR being so small and having such a small pool of hotels, I can see both why it's difficult to do and why it may not really be worth the effort. In the grand scheme of things, I don't think it really matters if someone is boosting a few votes. None of the regular hotels are going to grow anyway because the English retro scene is just so stale.

Never heard of that being done before... usercount isn't even mentioned on the rules... first time I've heard of that happening and I agree with you.

 

[Joe]

Nothing to do with Find Retros, not sure how you can compare. Should be fixed in my opinion though, makes the hotel look a cheat and quite bad.

 

[Rain]

Votes are not boosted whatsoever. I need the traffic from findretros and would not risk being banned for votes - The votes fluctuate as the turkish hotel seems to rise and fall often, also the russian hotel just launched and we saw a peak in votes due to that - but it's currently down until we sort the UTF-8 issues we're running in to. The russian hotel should get 50 - 100+ after a month or two of running smoothly
Global usercount is boosted x1.5, never hid that and never will so don't know why it's always bought up? It's not against any rules.
Spanish hotel is under dev and is not publicly displayed.
