JSR Has Ennacted New Caching Techniques For Frequently Used Data
Dec 21, 2008 - 3:05 AM - by Jump
We are now using an automated caching system that should speed things up by caching frequently used data before the server has a chance to query the database for that server. We have also moved avatars and sig images and such from the database to file storage method. This will eliminate many queries from the database and allow it to do the job it was meant to be.

It seems snappier to me. I sure hope you find the same exciting results that we have found.

Hey everyone, we have upgraded JSR to vBulletin 3.8.0 beta 1. Lot's of exciting new features. Some may not be active till I poke around and turn them on or adjust settings.

Octavian Faction Mission Pushed to Completion by Muti-Factional Consortium
from the Darkspace Newswire

Octavius Core Station – After a little more than a week, the Octavian-sponsored mission to increase the production output of its factory in Great Pillars Station was completed shortly before 5am Ekoos Time on 109.9.14. The final delivery was fittingly made by pilot InterOrka of the squad STMG, since it was InterOrka who coordinated much of the effort.

Ironically, the initial call for the mission came from a Quantar pilot, Bayonette, the founder of the mutifactional TRI Privateers organization. ... [Read More]

Jumpgate Evolution Beta Update
Jul 02, 2008 - 2:57 PM - by Jump
Just got this email. For those of you that haven't here's the scoop.
You will have noticed by now that we have launched a fresh new website and forums through our publisher Codemasters Online's existing web space. We've done this for numerous reasons, but the most exciting of course is that we're getting ready for the testing process. We know that this may create some confusion for our existing fanbase, so we wanted to send out a letter to help you through the new registration process and address any concerns that you may have.


In order to prepare for this testing process we need everyone to re-sign up to Beta. We know that this is inconvenient for a lot of you, but we feel that by using the CodeM system, we'll be able to better select from our

BioShock The Movie.
May 12, 2008 - 11:42 AM - by Jump
Yep that's right. If your game is a big enough hit and interesting nowadays you get a movie. Imagine Jumpgate Evolution the movie. I will go see it if only for the reason that I like the game so much. Gore Verbinski will make it so let's hope it's at least as good as Pirates of the Caribbean.
Take-Two did not disclose financial terms of the deal or other details, such as when the film would be released. The company is the target of a $2 billion takeover bid by rival game publisher Electronic Arts Inc.
Released last August for Microsoft Corp's Xbox 360 game console, "BioShock" won praise for its complex story, haunting art deco atmosphere and creepy characters such as Big Daddies and Little Sisters.
"BioShock" has sold more than 2 million copies and Take-Two is working on a sequel.
The "BioShock" movie deal is the latest sign of the growing importance of video games in popular culture.

JSR is Falling Apart
Apr 23, 2008 - 2:20 PM - by Jump
I will be doing a lot of work on the site in the near future which may cause lot's of problems for you as I do them. We are far behind on vBulletin updates so I will have to do a lot of manual template edits because of the customized style. Just a warning to all you lurkers. I figure hardly anyone is posting, nothing new has come from Jumpgate Evolution in months, and the devs never come here anymore. So I might as well tear the place up and get it up to par.

Of course this will mean exciting new features. It will also mean some old ones may not function. I doubt it but you never know.

So just a heads up for you. If you find problems let me know. I may start this in a few days.
