And how long does a Jiffy last? :D

too long. :D

I was making a copy of the production database in order to test the adjusted hwboint algorithm (using userids instead of nicknames), but the copy was taking too long, so I just stopped it.

Changing the algorithm should solve the quirks when having users which use different nicknames on different forums... but it also prevent unregistered members from recieving points. Whether this is a good or bad thing i leave up to you. :)

export of db should be possible when running, then copying that export ?
export to gzipped for smaller filesize
