google did file a lawsuit a while ago demanding that this site be altered or taken down.

Well - gee - come on. w00t aint exactly *porn*. Booble will just detract from the value of google where as w00t .. is a little friendlier.

yes, really, you need to add a custom map search feature thats the only thing i would ever need besides player search, and it is easy to implement, thanks.

I doubt Google would have a problem with your site...Booble and the others are actual general search engines. woot! is a Gaming Search Engine that searches for things that no other search engines pick up (cept for ones geared toward gamers). So they shouldn't have a problem, Google will still get it's customers and gamers will now use woot for their game searching needs.

Google gets like millions of hits a day, and I expect w00t to get about 1% of that. I don't see how Google will have a problem.

that's what they said about mikerowesoft!

Thats quite cool, I didn't expect it to pick up Uk servers but it did. Useful when hunting for friends in game.

wow, w00t is so much better than gametiger, nice and simple, unlike gametiger, fricking lag like crazy and with all the ad's.



w00t is perfect whenever steam friends is down.

if you put a nick in, even one as generic as "shooter", the most recent time that you get is thirty minutes, and the longest as 300 minutes. how is that helpful information? it sounds like there are some bugs being worked out, hopefully more up to date information will be ironed out as well.

I was retaining old (last seen) player data but am working on a change to that so it will only reveal players found in the last sweep.



Sweeps are 4-6 minutes long - depends really on how many people are online, how fast STEAM can get me some detail and how fast the dual proc box's database can parse and sort the data!



Future upgrades

Map search

Live update (go out and get data NOW for a server you are looking at)

RSS feed data

i must say, when i first saw this i thought it as a cheap copy of serverspy or gametiger, but its increasingly faster than serverspy.

example. i was searching someone who has been in a server for 20 minutes, on serverspy it couldnt find him, but on w00t it showed him.

maps search have been added

[-:Nighthawk:-]

Weaver, just a slight convenience thing... any chance of getting next/previous buttons in addition to having the links to the pages of results?



Either way, thanks for your efforts man, they are much appreciated. :)

I also just noticed what was causing a problem for me...



When you do a map search, then click one of the links to further results, the reference changes from s=Maps to s=Server so you don't get any further hits. That'd be a good bug to fix, eh? :)
