The Ars Food Court was recently moved to a new server so I spent a bit of time tidying thinks up by pulling out some of the old team sites that were sat in directories gathering dust on the old server and collecting them together. Enter the Ars Food Court Archive.
Enjoy the nostalgia!

The core Ars DC site, the Ars FoodCourt, has had a major software upgrade. Some features that were previously not working or had limited functionality, are now working very well. I will outline a few of the main improvements to have been made to the site in no particular order. - The AFC now has a Wiki module installed. It if a fully functional wiki, based upon the ErfurtWiki software
- The user blog is also fully functional, with more features and better controls.
- A web based visual editor for MS IE and Gecko (Firefox, Mozilla), called TinyMCE has been installed. It works for all textarea entry forms, apart from the Wiki ones
- The Comments function has been restricted to registered users. This is because there were too many spam comments from anonymous users.
- The Ars Technica News feed is back and working.
- The core software, including some major security fixes, has been upgraded
- The site themes are upgraded
- Plus lots of minor updates and fixes all around.
I hope the FoodCourt will be used, as it does contain a lot of useful information for Distributed Computing enthusiasts. Any registered user can play around with the site. If there is anything missing, or if you fell like helping out, then please join in.

The site is back up and running thanks to the hard work of heretic and JDAW. Most things are working after the upgrade but there are a few functions not quite right that are still being worked on.
If you spot anything that is broken then add a comment, pop into IRC (channel #afcdesign) or post in the Ars forums

I am still here, at least I think so. My Processors are still working or "processing", as far as I know. But life sometimes moves on, as you can probably understand. Anyway, I'll be back whenever - promiss ;-), and I am available on gmail (xyzzy knows the addy).

Due to the good response on Loudergoods' FrontPage Pimpage (FPP), for Team Egg Roll, we experienced some problems with performance and availability of the team sites and the FoodCourt. The main cause was the php engine that created too high load on the server.
As an immediate remedy we disabled certain, little used, features on the sites, in the hope that the load on the server would decrease enough to carry us through the peak load. In addition to that we are also working on tuning the mysql database for a higher load, and a higher number of users.
In the short term this is about as much we can do for the time being. In the long term we need to evaluate the hosting situation. We share the current server with a lot of other sites. This is probably not beneficial in the long run, as we hope, and expect, the sites to grow, both in size and features.

Many of you are probably coming in from the Front Page linkage from our good buddies at <a href=http://www.arstechnica.com>Ars Technica.
You may want to check out the articles in the About DC section in the left column, or if you're getting bored make a run for the top in our extensive <a href=http://www.arsfoodcourt.com/index.php?module=pnFlashGames&func=main>Games section.

with the foodcourt back up we are starting to get back to where we were in spite of the short period of inactivity.
A number of things still need fixing. The first Item on that list is the team lamb chop page. As soon as we can figure out how the stats updating process works exactly and who owns the domain we'll get it back online.
Below are a list of the various sites heretic managed for the ars DC community and their current status:

Swatkins wrote this in the DCA thread [All] What kind of Ars will we be?
I was wondering if a “Scoreboard” (for lack of a better term) could be created. We have so many great stats people that this should be a piece of cake for them. On this scoreboard we could list the project, its current output levels, current position, power needed to sustain the current level and amount of power needed to increase a current position.

I have installed some Flash games on the site. They can be accessed from the Games menu in the Main Menu. These games will keep a list of top scores, but only if you are a registered user and are currently logged on.
We are currently having some problems with the newsfeed from Ars Technica. The feed will be disabled until the problem has been sorted.

The new Ars Food Court site has proved to be somewhat more successful than its predessor. So far, in just a couple of months, it has achieved nearly 30.000 page views. Those numbers also include page views from users with administrative rights on the site, which are not counted in the stats. :-D
