Hey guys, it’s been a while since an update. Got lots of stuff to talk about, so let me break it down into categories.
Why is was the website so slow?
So Stick Nodes is a pretty popular app. Apparently, it’s more popular than my hosting plan could handle. Around the beginning of December this website began to slow to a crawl due to the number of visitors per day, it was using up too much CPU power.
I’m glad to say that as of right now, I’ve upgraded the hosting plan and things seem to be great. I will be monitoring the performance of the site. Right now things are blazing fast, but that’s because many of you are still not able to access the new site (it’s no problem, your browsers will eventually be updated in the coming hours). If things slow down again, I’ll be forced to make a bigger hosting plan upgrade, but that’s for me to worry about.
Where are all of the new stickfigures?
I haven’t uploaded new stickfigures in over a month, and I’m sorry about that. I have all of the stickfigures you guys have been submitting, all 383 of them, I just haven’t manually gone through them and approved, screenshotted, and uploaded them yet.
I was waiting for the website to be fixed, as uploading stickfigures where each page-load took 10+ seconds would have gotten old really, really fast. My plan is to upload 20 new stickfigures every day until I’ve gone through the entire backlog and caught up. I will start uploading new stickfigures tomorrow.
What happened to the giveaway?
This is my bad.
I was following through with the giveaway, and actually contacted three of the winners (two of which I still need to get in touch with), but then things got hectic for me.
To keep a long story short, the craziness of the holidays coupled with personal family issues prevented me from keeping up with the giveaway, so please forgive me for the lies. I will make it up to you and hold some type of similar giveaway in the near future.
Where is the iOS “sounds” update?
I have to be honest, I haven’t worked on it for a few weeks. This is again due to the same reasons that prevented me from following through with the Christmas giveaway.
I will get back to work on this update this week, and am already very far into getting it working. I will have new updates within a week on an ETA for release.
What now?
Okay, that’s all for now. I’m sorry for the absence these past weeks, but a lot of crazy stuff just came out of nowhere all at once and I was in no position to keep up with the demand of managing the Stick Nodes community.
Things should be returning to normal now, though.
Lol, telling people not to worry that they can’t see the new site when this was posted on the new one.
The blockquotes on this theme are ridiculous.
Yes. And you’re the one that assisted in re-designing what it used to be.
Okay, I fixed it. Much better.
It actually is. Well done.
I sense sarcasm.
You would be wise to think that.
*Sees that Ralph has not been up to the IOS 1.6.0 update*
Ralph…. I friggin’ love your app…. It’s what ive been using for the past summer to animate.
You heard me. Past summer. Ralph,i’ve been waiting a whole f**king year for this update to happen,and only android gets it all. Yes,i heard you were on to the IOS versh,but you never actually worked on it? Really Ralph? I understand your family issues,but you didn’t work on it? At least a little bit? Sorry Ralph,but i’m dissapointed. The iOS update is the only thing i’ve been waiting for…. But really,Ralph…. I’m dissapointed that you didn’t work on it,but i understand you.
Lol, the 1.6.0/1.6.1 update has been out since the beginning of November, that’s a little over two months – a bit of a stretch to say you’ve been waiting a whole year, no?
But I understand your frustration. Trust me, I want to get it out too, it’s a really great update and iOS is half of the userbase. Between the holidays, the family stuff, the website problems, and the insane backlog of stickfigure submissions I have – I haven’t had much time to work on it.
Today I’m resuming work on it and I’ll have an updated estimated release time in a few days.
Worst is he didn’t even mention the pc sticknodes
Lol.
Wait, uh… Ralph? Will you please comment all of the features? I really need to know. I”m hyped!
The features for what? Stick Nodes? A good list is in the sidebar right there. (You may have to scroll to the bottom of the page to see it if you’re on a small mobile device.)
I’m glad you’re back Ralph its good to know your still aliv…I mean still caring about your fans
Yeah its good he got out his couch and fixed recent comments but who knows it could have taken 2 days to get out that couch btw I still have my blanket fort … (eyes are turning red)
You should get those red eyes looked at.
😀
Hey I sent two of the same one by accident the newest sent one is the better one, and I’m talking about my stick figure.
I’m sorry, which one exactly?
Chaos, the one with the hands and feet is the one I want posted. One was an old one.
Oh, I was searching for one that was already uploaded, I don’t think I got to your emails yet.
Did you see mine yet?
Glad that you’re back Ralph!
Same!
hey ralph, i just have one question, does the new version o ios fixes the textfields?:p
I’ve seen this asked in the past, but I can’t ever find anything wrong with the textfields on iOS.
What exactly is the problem, and what device/iOS version are you running on? It’ll help me narrow it down, thanks!
I have IOS 6, and the problem its that everytime i put a textfield, it doesnts appear nothing, even when i set the text (lol second time i ask this hehe)
When you click “Add textfield”, nothing appears on the screen? Like, nothing at all?
Here’s what it looks like when I click “Add textfield”:
You don’t have the “Hello” text on the screen? What about the black (or red, if selected) outline box surrounding it, is that there? What about the black outline box in the frame thumbnail in the top? (If you can take a screenshot like mine above, that would be the most helpful.)
Sorry for the bombardment of questions, I just need to narrow down where things are going wrong.
How do i post an image right here?:p
I don’t think normal users can post images, in order to prevent spambots from doing the same.
Lol so what i do?
You can just post a link instead I suppose, lol. The image itself won’t embed, but the link will be clickable.
Heh my ipod its too old, my photo doesnt haves a link, well i think:p
So what now:|
We just sit here I guess.
Lol, can i send it to the mail? (you know like if was sending a stickfigure or something like that)
Oh my bad, I didn’t realize what image you were referring too (I didn’t notice this was the discussion about that bug).
My bad. I’m a dumb.
Yes, please email me that screenshot, send it to [email protected]. I really appreciate it.
Lol dont worry, i already sent it to you, did you got it? :p
I think its the part when you put tweening its like it moves without tweening
What are we even talking about again?
Why does no one use the “Reply” button when replying to comments, it makes following conversations so much easier. WHY.
because its more fun to anger you
Are you Sean?
No. I’m Sean.
I have a lot of personalities.
Apparently they all like to troll you.
İ using reply button so much.lol
THANK YOU.
