requirements for cc are higher. if you were in it before and aren't now, that isn't a bug if you aren't in it anymore. you can still reply to your previous threads i think though

democracy works i guess yay

anyway love you all

edit: just kidding we changed it again to 2k. democracy sucks

tl;dr— Comments search works again. It is much, much faster. Also search keywords for comments now only search for the whole word.

This all began forty-eight hours ago. The WPD server was down, I'd already broken out the bourbon (as is customary when your server is down), and someone was trying to search for comments containing the word china. Comments search always was slow because we used to do an exhaustive search through the full text of all 2.2 million comments on the site. But, man, china was even slower than slow: it was grinding the site to a halt for minutes at a time. We don't normally log search queries, but china was so slow it was crashing the server, which showed up in the crash error message.

It was 2 AM, we were busy dealing with WPD, and I wasn't exactly sober enough to debug, so we disabled comments search until we had time to look at it. The next day, a dozen of you let us know comment search wasn't working. A dozen-minus-one of you didn't scroll in the bugs thread to notice that's what everyone else was reporting and we'd already explained why.

Anyway, it's re-enabled, and it's a lot faster. china takes half a second, not two minutes. This comes with some minor changes in functionality. First, word substring searches don't work on comments now—carp only finds the exact word carp (or Carp), not carpathianflorist or escarpment (this probably breaks nwordcountbot; sorry @geese_suck). Also, I have no idea what "exact search" syntax with "s does any more; probably just guarantees you get zero results. Report weird search results here and we'll iron it out soon. Just wanted to get comment search back online.

Hi there! We opened a Redbubble shop so you can buy Marsey swag to impress your friends and family with in real life!

https://www.redbubble.com/people/rdramanet/

Right now it's just a selection of existing Marseys (more to be added) which you can get in sticker form, on shirts, hats, bath mats, clocks, mugs, whatever sort of tchotchke you want. I am going to order a bunch of stickers after I upload more and probably make a scene out of them on my computer because that's what people do. They pay money for stickers of cartoon cats from gossip websites and decorate with them. Why aren't you doing that?

NOTE: Redbubble is r-slurred and if you're looking for something in a particular flavor (i.e. a pin or whatever), you can get that by clicking this idiotic tiny bar:

There is currently one bespoke design specifically made for extremely fashionable clothes:

but more will be added as time goes on.

If a Marsey you'd like included isn't yet there, just say so and me or Aevann will go add it right away.

Buying a piece of Marsey clothing and submitting a picture will earn you a never-before-obtained badge by casino king @McCoxmaul:

All transactions are through Redbubble. We have no means of finding your name, address, whatever. It is entirely anonymous.

Now go. Hurry! Consoom marsey merch!

An important update to our various various awesome QoL-altering awards, available in the shop!

In addition to doing their usual thing you see in the description, various annoyances you put on others (or yourself, if you want) will also lock an appropriate hat onto them for the duration of the award.

Try it out! It's definitely an interesting feature.

Awards affected are:

Rehab. Progressive Stack, Pizzashill, Bird Site, Marsey, Bite, Rainbow, OwOify, Early Life, Marsify, Ban, and Chud.

Well done, everyone who earned this badge! (me)

Text is wonky, will fix later. Good job though fish!!!!!!

edit: fixed

I should make another badge for that lightning quick response time to a major issue.

Added Roulette

• Roulette now available at https://rdrama.net/casino/roulette

• Every five minutes, the server rolls the wheel and winning bets are paid out.

• The roulette page shows each player's bet during the current period.

• There is also a description of each possible bet available.

• Once the result is rolled, you will be notified whether you won or lost.

https://rdrama.net/marseys/original

https://rdrama.net/hats/original

The new submission system automatically stores the full resolution uploads, and high resolution copies from the marsey archive have been used to fill in some of the gaps for older ones.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the marsey archive and aevann for making this happen

Hat submissions are now to be done with this link:

https://rdrama.net/submit/hats

This will massively expedite the process of adding them, much like the new Marsey submission page has allowed for like two hours of Marsey additions to be added in a matter of a couple minutes.

Please use this hat submission page going forward. You’re not required to move your yet-unapproved hats from the hat submission thread there, but it would be cool if you did. Not the end of the world if not though. Please delete your comment in the OG thread with the hat if so, to avoid conflicting filenames. Note that I am still working that thread, so if you see your currently-backlogged comment got jannied, it means I took care of it. Previously I would just upvote things I had processed.

Remember to thank Aevann for revolutionizing our custom asset library with these forms. They’re real game changers.

DMs

Previously, there were two huge issues with DMs:

1. They’d populate in the main Notifications tab, which often caused DMs to be overlooked, as clearing their notification was tied to just clicking the bell at all and they’d likely be buried under normal notifications, and

2. The actual Messages tab sorted by date of the first message received, rather than most recent. So even if you were diligent in checking that tab to keep up, conversations would inevitably get buried. If someone messaged you on Monday and you’d been discussing something, and it’s now Saturday, every message you received from Tuesday-Saturday would be above that conversation, regardless of replies.

@TwoLargeSnakesMating has resolved both of these issues and it’s SO GOOD. Praise him.

hat

Here’s your fricking Marseys.

https://rdrama.net/submit/marseys

Submit them there. Tag them. I will approve and change tags/names as needed.

NOTE

1. Naming conventions are marseyWHATEVER; no portmanteaus of things for the NAME. Farting marsey would be marseyfarting, NOT fartsey.

2. If your proposed name already exists, it will tell you this. Add a 2. If that already exists, add a 3.

3. REGARDING TAGS: Tags are meant to aid in searching. They are not meant to be jokes or memes. They are also not meant to describe the image. A marsey wearing a blue tux and smiling as she farts, named marseyhappyfarting for example? Good tags: smile brap toot suit. You don’t need “blue” you don’t need “cat” you don’t need “feline” you don’t need “drawing” or whatever the frick. You also don’t need to include anything that is in the name. So tagging things “marsey” is redundant. Tagging this one “happy” would be redundant. Tagging it “fart” would be redundant. Why? Read on!

4. This part is so simple but so constantly overlooked by you people that I’m giving it its own point. Emojisearch doesn’t search for exact matches of the full string. If you have “farting” in the name or tag, a search for “fart” will return it already. You don’t need every conjugation of every verb, either, that helps to render searching useless.

SHIT TAGGING AND NAMING IS WHY THE MARSEYS HAVEN’T BEEN UPDATED IN MONTHS. PLEASE STOP. I WILL REJECT YOUR MARSEYS IF YOU MAKE TOO MUCH WORK FOR ME WITH YOUR GARBAGE.

Thank you

I miss being able to downvote poll options

thank you @geese_suck and @hbtz for the css code and @BrokeBackBuck for the idea

• Casino games are no longer comment-based.

• https://rdrama.net/casino is now the place to gamble, and currently has Slots, Blackjack and Lottershe.

• As you gamble, you can see your dramacoin and marseybux go up and down without refreshing the page.

• New games will be added as time goes on.

• New animations, textures, etc will also be added. I know it looks basic AF right now, but I already have some assets that will make it fresher.

• All prior comment-based gambling data will be migrated by @Snakes in the next few weeks.

• In a future update, each casino game will have a feed of user activity, as well as slots for leaderboard positions.

• Also in that update, the badges previously showcased by carp will go live.

To those of you who really liked the social aspect of gambling, such as people gambling in threads with golden marseys, I empathize. It was a tough decision we ultimately agreed on.

NOTE: As of now, wordle is entirely unaffected and is still comment-based.

at the bottom here https://rdrama.net/settings/profile

To gauge usage of the new casino feature, the leaderboards for winners and losers have been reset. Now is your chance to win big or die trying.

• Commission has been increased from 5% to 10%.

• The base hat price is now 500dc instead of 1000dc.

• Hat leaderboards now exist on the leaderboard page. Pump those numbers up losers.

• @hbtz of blackjackbot scam fame dramatically improved ordering speed in the hat shop . Thank you bb.

• Removed hats that did not use the template. No refunds will be given for these.

As a reminder, there are badges for hat collecting. Here they are.
