Alright I guess I'm going to this. Excited to meet some of you :~)

You are all inhuman

2010 Dodge Charger. Ideal next car is a Tesla...at some point.

It's just a network of bots that the creator sets on different groups at different times

A few days ago it was going through the scrap.tf group

We'll probably just rework the button itself, it's just copied from Sweetstakes atm

We'll make sure that nobody loses their status.

Is this how we do

I'd like to confirm something very important.

Due to to the nature of the rewrite along with security reasons, we will not be continuing to use the old Saloon.tf bots. What this means is that there will have to be a transitional period:

-Initially, we will have "beta.saloon.tf" and the current saloon.tf. In this initial stage, new matches will only be placed on beta.saloon.tf, and saloon.tf will only be available for withdrawing your items.

-After some time, we will switch saloon.tf to be old.saloon.tf, and beta.saloon.tf will become the official saloon.tf. Any unwithdrawn items will be available for withdrawing on old.saloon.tf after this period.

We will keep old.saloon.tf around for as long as possible, but at some point it too will have to be retired. We will make it abundantly clear when all of these periods are and what you need to do to withdraw items.

This will not happen for a while. At present, https://saloon.tf as it is is still the premier place to bet on TF2 matches. It will be incredibly clear when this transitional period has begun; there is absolutely no risk associated with continuing to use saloon.tf as it is now

We have a lot of experience writing high-traffic highly-scrutinized websites in PHP.

Hey guys,

I figured I'd make this thread to keep you all up to date on our progress in rewriting Saloon.

For those not in the know, when Sneeza and I acquired Saloon we opted to completely rewrite it in PHP from its current Python implementation. We decided to do this for a few reasons; chiefly, we have very little Python experience, but it's also easier to maintain a project you've built from the ground up.

This also gives us the chance to iterate and improve on certain aspects of Saloon: mainly, the way matches and items are handled. Match verification will be instant (once the scores are confirmed; there could still be delays in that area), and you will be able to easily re-bet won items. You will also deposit items before you bet, so that it's easier to bet on the fly and there's no confusion as to whether or not your bet went through.

The main design of the site will not change.

Currently, we're laying the groundwork. Preview image here: http://outpost.gg/sn/q18k4z.png

Progress is being made on the rewrite of Saloon:

It's still very WIP and not functional ATM, but once it's done we'll have numerous improvements, including instant match verification and much smoother item handling.

We'd love feedback on the design of the match information, and what information you might want to see on that page.

Note that this is a complete, total code rewrite of the site in an entirely new language. We felt it would be best for maintainability moving forward with Saloon to do it in this way.

For the record, verification of games will be instant when we've migrated Saloon to our new codebase. The transfer process is still not complete and takes some time, and after that we'll have to recode it from scratch, but after we've done so verification of games will take less than a second.
