So last Friday we launced the MJUKS site and man did it suck. First after we finished the design and workings of the site we put it online in a ’secret’ folder so it didn’t show up immediately unknowingly we didn’t realise that that would totally mess up the database structure if were to move it up a folder. So when we were able to launch it on the main directory we got a lot of nice database errors. So currently we are using a redirect untill we reinstall wordpress in the main folder or use create a htaccess redirect. Also what bites my ass right now is that the redirect is way too slow,  school has put it some kind of nifty delay on how fast you can go through webspace so there is like a 3 second delay.

However, it is working. A few days ago we installed google analytics, a spam filter, and removed the bugged RSS button. So now we can see where all those hits are coming from.

Still the website is far from its full potential. It just basically shows the videos, you can vote and comment and that’s it. We’re going to put a lot more user input into the site. Polls, behind the scenes, suggestions, forums, etc to make it more a community.

Soon the old MJUKS content will be online as well. Something that some groups failed to realise is that MJUKS is a whole and all the items should be on one webpage no matter which group made it.
