marshal, you're most certainly not correct on a few items.

1) qz should know how to fix it (or has the skills to look into it and fix it); he just chooses not to. he wouldn't be able to operate EE if he didn't have this skillset/it was too difficult for him. it's just annoying to work with because it's not structured well. same as evo's site but he doesn't feel he has to support/have the familiarity with Boxcar like he does evo's site, which is understandable.
2) I don't believe tc would be able to help anywhere near as much as qz; please stop claiming he would. his contribution to Boxcar was the data for the scores/ranks db and some country search queries, choosing to use that was a mistake I made that haunts all of you and even created the vulnerability that was exploited by RD.
3) the db issue is probably RAM in the image; Boxcar needs a TON of RAM for queries (see point 2; sub point- > horrible database design for a read-oriented db). if it has less than 8 GB then I expect it will have issues like those described.

for everyone else:
4) focus existing frustrations on asking qz to work on getting infrastructure for clan hosting added to the game core so the design we've put together for it can be overlayed onto something :p that's been the migration path for Boxcar/Evo for a loooong time but he's been focused on other technical things/issues/changes while I've only cared about/put energy into design and pie-in-the-sky ideas.
