Counting has grown a lot in the past, and with that growth, some fundamental problems have emerged. In order to allow counting to continue growing, we have been rewriting various parts of the bot. Unfortunately, in the process we have identified a few problems that would likely result in data loss.
Because of this problem, there are 2 possible options.
- Proceed with slowly rewriting the bot, and in the process risk things like votes and counts being completely reset
- Schedule a date to completely reset all data. This gives us the opportunity to do a complete rewrite and fix the fundamental problems with the bot, without worrying about preventing data loss
As for the devs, we support doing a full reset. With the current bot, ~75% of the time we spend rewriting the bot is put into trying to prevent as much data loss as possible. So, we support doing a full reset.
TLDR; No reset = Most stats kept, random stats lost - Reset = All stats reset, get everything over faster
We invite you to vote on these options
@Exr0n I mean we could always just release a database of useful (and sanitized) information, or make a page that lets you query it, or even a few bot commands. Not sure about using any kind of crypto, since we aren't exactly holding any important data lol
