Deleting old Invitational Zone Fights
« on: January 25, 2011, 04:32:18 AM »

Is there any way to filter through the empty zone fights that have no text in them? The old fights that never happened because the two participants never showed up at the proper time. The list on the left is waaaaay long, but a good bunch of them are empty.

Yeah that's so true, there should be a way for them to kind of just disappear after however long, kind of like how the text does, so should the fight.

Well, certain epic fights could have a reason for staying... >>

But I, personally, have clicked several and have never even seen the fight text. I assumed the text expired, leaving an empty link.

Yeah, but I feel like that would defeat the purpose of keeping them. Unless all these fights really are ones that were never begun (in that case, just delete them), then the text ought to be saved.

Yeah. I just meant deleting the ones that nobody even posted in, as in none of them showed up and it's a completely empty zoning section. For older fights that actually have stuff, I don't mind if it stays there for records/archives and whatnot. I just don't want to scroll down and click on what might have been a cool match, but then find  there's nothing in it. :P

Well the thing is, there probably was something in there for most of them.
Text expires, so after 25 days I think it is, the text goes bye bye. This is to save space in the database, so it's not clogged up with old conversations.

Basically yeah... No matter what you do, the text is all gone from 25+ days. It would be useless to even keep it there, so deleting mostly all of them, besides the ones that would still have text, would be a good way to keep track of new ones.

Technically, Zone fights are special chats, invitational ones are only to see for those fighters (hence the idea).

Though it will expire like normal text, you can always export it using the export function as PDF that works for normal text.

I can't really get non-latin chars in there (as I have no proper font and did not find anywhere - if you guys find one in TTF, let me know and I can use it).

Apart from that, it should work out.
