Dear Shouters,
Thanks to Exabytes, ShoutOutLounge is now sitting on a brand new server (here is the news). Instantly we are blessed with plenty of Server Memory, Server Processing, Server Bandwidth and Server Database.
To take advantage of that, we have gone in and remove some of the artificial constraints we put in place. The artificial constraints were there to ‘slow down’ ShoutOutLounge so that it will not take too much resources or else we’ll get a warning letter from our hosting company! But thinking about, we did get a couple of them before.
So here are the constraint that we have removed:
- You can now type more characters per Shout. In fact, 50 more characters. Previously, it was 200 characters.
- More shouts are now loaded on your ShoutOut box. Additional 5 more messages. Previously was 30, now 35.
- Refresh rate has been improved by 20%.
- Shouts are now retained longer. Now up to 30 days. Previously was 20 days.
Have anymore constraint that you think ShoutOutLounge should remove?
Oh! By the way … Whisper are now silent. Meaning, only the Whisperer and Whisperee will see the Whisper. The rest of the Shouters will NOT see a thing! Go ahead and try it!

means what ya ? i get to see the history ?
Ahhh nope. That one is in the works .. but not so soon tho
But we are working on it .. ! :)
lol so whats the retaining thing about ? just curious :)
Because database space not enough space. If we leave it as it is .. it would have overflowed over long long time ago.
Haha .. So now that we can retain it. We can do some data mining on it and come up with interesting data. Maybe things like D5000 was mentioned how many times over the past 1 month. Something like that. Or search .. possible too.
oooooo lol now only i get it. cause i thought why you mentioned it suddenly, thinking i missed out on an enhancement earlier on :P
