Why Re-Create Battles?

I think "delete all my battles & re-load all battles from ABC's server" should definitely be on the list of next steps. It might even encourage my contribution to world peace. --Simonton 16:46, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I didn't realize that all battles were available on the old server architecture. For some reason, I thought it only kept summaries, but if I can import all that data, that would be great! I won't be deleting any battles from the new server though -- almost all of the data submitted has also been relayed to ABC's server, so his server should be a superset of the two. For an import I would just pull in all of ABC's data (plus the Elo rankings, it would be nice not to have to recalculate those) and there's a duplicate checker which would throw away duplicated results (bot, challenger, timestamp + user IP determine uniqueness). But if you want to contribute to both, just upload your results to mine and they'll also be relayed to ABC's. And keep your "remove old" and "ratings" URLs pointed at ABC's server if you want to flesh out the pairings over there, my clients will keep the pairings here in line. -- Darkcanuck 17:01, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
