Timewarps - coincidence? I think not.

[JJChicken]

Its a little too convenient that fusetalk has developed the forum-breaking twarp bug just before we migrate over to vBulletin. How can the software go from working normally to all of a sudden developing a time warp bug? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Personally I think the mods are moving posts out of order and there is no timewarp bug. Gotta hand it to them, they've worked pretty hard to achieve this - its almost believable, ALMOST but a little too perfect.

Discuss.

this timewarp bug happened every time we had daylight savings. not sure why it wasn't fixed this time, maybe because of the move, maybe not. fusetalk blows anyway, I welcome a move to almost anything else.

They timewarping is a vbulletin bug. The staff did a great job of making vbulletin look like fusetalk

Personally, I think the timewarp adds an extra element of strategy to ATOT.

Those mods are fast if they can manually "time warp" posts milliseconds after posts.

This I approve of.

I've seen time warping happen in the past. It wasn't very often but it did happen.

The timewarp bug is (my best guess) a time synchronization issue with the forum server cluster (or the DB cluster). Ever notice how only certain people at any given time can mass-timewarp? That's because they end up connected to a given node in the cluster that's out of sync with the rest of the servers. Too many things line up with that hypothesis to make it plausible.

Everyone knows it's because Desmond quit pushing that stupid button.

I'm really getting sick of these white flashes every time I time warp :|

 

[Liberator21]

How the heck do people only do it on Off Topic then?

 

[KillerCharlie]

I'm surprised a technology website has such crappy forums.

I posted this same thing a while ago. :beer: for bringing it up again.

There is a LOT of validity in what you say BUT, these still remain unanswered,

Motive
Seriously, what is there to gain by doing such a thing? We're already going to be moving to vB. So what's in it for them?

Too much effort
We've seen that these timewarps happen near-instantly AFTER a post. Which mod in their right mind would take all that effort to allow some users to time-warp?

Integrity
We may have differences of opinion with the mods at some times, but they are all good people.


Let's just write this off as some kind of odd co-incidence and just move on...

 

[Dualist]

Only a forum system wide bug, regardless of what forum you post in. The bug may have been fixed if they updated to FuseTalk 3.1 long ago.
