Stats at 0 - Day 2

by JamesonH

As you all have noticed your stats have been at 0 since Sunday. It pains me greatly to write these posts because it’s like talking about an injured son or daughter. We’re working tirelessly to fix the issue, but it’s proven to be much more daunting than we anticipated. To give you an idea of the magnitude of what we’re dealing with we’ve been taking in about 9GB of raw data every day (that translates to a hell of a lot of hits from your Flash movies). We then take that data and have to process, filter, sort, and store all of that information within a small window of time so that you can see your reports on the site. However, the processing time was taking too long (several hours) so we had to shut the processor off in order to do some work on it and speed things up.

If you have MochiBot in your Flash and are concerned about the data not showing in your reports, then let me put your mind at ease. We’re still collecting all of the information that your MochiBot sends to us, but it just hasn’t been processed yet. Once we get things up and running again you’ll see all of the stats that were captured over the past few days.

Thanks to everyone for their emails of support and appreciation of what we’re doing. This is our flesh and blood and we’re committed to making MochiBot the best that it can be.

I’ll keep posting updates as we make more progress.

    Oh that’s wonderful. At first I thought my flash had suddenly become rediculously unpopular, then I read the post about zero stats and I was worried the data was being lost. Now that I learn that the data will show up once you fix it, I’m happy ;D

    You guys rock.

    Glad to hear it. If I need to wait a few days for the data, so be it. I’m just happy as heck that the stats are there! Whew. What a relief.
