gtaonlinestats.com info (Kind of a tl;dr)

[SuperFlyMeatbaww]

I've been talking to one of the guys from the site and he says that he's been able to buy more time for their trial service. They'll be running for longer than expected. He also said he's finding a way to implement donations and ads.

 

tl;dr <>

 

<<Me:

"Oh wow I can't believe it's gunna stop tracking stats. If there was a way to
donate, I totally would.

"We’ve asked for feedback countless times and received maybe 3 or 4
emails/posts."

I remember giving feedback awhile back saying it was totally better than the
gta5stats.com site. I've couldn't really think of any other feedback because
it was perfect and easy to use.. oh well.

But hey, if any of you guys play GTA:O yourselves, is it cool if we can play
together?

P.S. Thanx again for being awesome! ^_^"

 

Response:

"Hi Anthony,

Thanks for the appreciation, it means a lot! Anyway, was able to buy some more time with the "Trial" service we are using, so we should be around for a while. It will give us time to look into running ads and donations.

Don't play much at the moment (a few hours a week), waiting for new content (hopefully).

I also don't use a mic or listen to any of the chat. My GT is toobsock.

Take care and Thanks again!">>

 

 

I for sure as hell don't want to go back to the crappy Gta5stats.com site.

Add up "toobsock", say what's up and thanks.. tell him I sent 'cha! Also, give em some support! They've been running a helpful site used by millions and they're barely getting any appreciation! </3

 

>Oh but meatbaww, its just fer teh phaggets who liek to show off thar stats.< HAY.. I think anything that everyone uses should be appreciated. Unless it's terrorism.

What is this "trial" bullsh*t all about?

 

How can you have a trial version of something that like nobody uses??

There's already a thread for this and toobsock has already provided said info that thread.

It's pretty obvious that people use it and quite a lot of them.

 

It's likely a trial for the software that is a core component of their services.

I always thought it was a pretty popular site, especially for rooting out those profiles of blatant cheaters. Hope they're just trying out some new ideas and not getting rid of the concept entirely

Not the people using the website, the people running the website...

 

What I'm saying is that "somebody" made software that apparently pulls stats from Rockstar...and how many different websites did they expect their software to run on??

Sorry mayneee. I'm just an appreciative person :3

I'm just the type of person to be a suck up if I'm given something nice LOL.

 

Just how I am

Well, I would assume that the software wasn't designed solely for pulling stats from R* and would have a wide range of applications

 

Only toobsock can really give you the correct response beyond all reasonable doubt, but my assumption is that the software they are using (under trial) is third party and gtaonlinestats are just the end users in this scenario. I could be wrong.

So "illegally" at least, I'm sure Rockstar would have a problem with someone else providing their very own information on other sites/etc.

I can see where you are coming from, but I think it's unlikely that Rockstar would have any issues with it. gta5stats has been around a lot longer and it is still running for example.

But it's almost 100% unreliable. Broken stats!

[toobsock]

Thanks Meatbaww

 

Anyway, it was a trial for proxy servers, because we are looking up so much data from the Social Club that it would stop responding after "x" amount of requests.

 

I contacted R* several months ago and one of the only emails I ever got back from them acknowledged the site and that they would not "white-list" our IP address for unlimited access due to security issues (which is totally understandable).

Actually, here is the email from RSGNYC Mouthoff dated March 24, 2014:

 

Hey ******,

 

Thanks for your email. We enjoyed checking out the site and we think it’s awesome you put so much time into creating a resource for like-minded fans like yourself. We also appreciate your sensible and restrained approach to collecting the data.

 

Unfortunately, for security reasons we won’t be able to do any IP whitelisting on our side.

 

Cheers,

Rockstar Games

I appreciate the fact that the name is correct since what we are tracking is GTA Online, not GTA 5.
