[edit] Jobs for the boys?
And girls? Peter Jackson 10:19, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
- Although the main WIGO CZ page calls this a "created position," it has actually existed for some time. A couple of years ago, for example, David Volk was an Editorial Personnel Administrator; I think Beychock was, too. People who want to become editors send the EPA a list of their credentials and the EPA decides whether they meet the criteria.
- Curry at least has plenty of experience deciding who can not be an editor.... SirRagingPooterTheWizardDog (talk) 17:15, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Peirce the Ignoble
For someone who rants about hating RationalWiki so much, and who frequently protests about how worthless everyones opinions here are, he sure pounced on the latest WIGO. He even managed it without calling anyone names, though not without dishonestly altering the WIGO along the way. What a guy! 194.83.172.131 (talk) 12:54, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Servers and costs redux
Larry is noob obviously and his suggestion of shared hosting is ridiculous. Demonstrates his lack of skill set and understanding and more proof of his mismanagement. That aside, I still don't understand why they are wedded to the two server model?
RW's traffic is now probably 15-20x that of CZ, we hit about 200gb of outbound bandwidth a month and broke 350k unique users and 600k visits month (a record). There is no way that CZ's "taxing" forums and "bug" software is approaching the CPU/memory requirements of the average daily RW traffic. Yet we are working fine on a single server at half the costs of CZ. In fact, we just managed to knock another $30 a month off our monthly bill.
I just don't get it. Tmtoulouse (talk) 22:27, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, could you give us the stats for unique users/visits? Thanks! larronsicut fur in nocte 14:46, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- According to a recent forum post their outbound traffic is down to 4 GB/month so RW actually is about 50x their traffic. This is consistent with their Alexa ranking which has declined markedly over the past year and now hovers in the 200,000 range. Alexa numbers that low don't have any quantitative meaning (to the extent Alexa is accurate at all) but it's consistent with the impression that CZ is fading away. The site is now part of the net's microwave background noise. Doctor Dark (talk) 19:38, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
