Well, today seems to be the day of advertising your new site, so I  
thought I’d toss mine in as well.

This is a small site that I’ve been working on for Everquest II guild  
support. The intent is to build a guild collaboration site which  
encourages guilds and players to cooperate rather than the ones that  
currently exist. Most of them seem to encourage guilds to compete.

[http://guildcorner.org/](http://guildcorner.org/)

This is written in Ruby on Rails, of course. It uses PostgreSQL as  
the back-end, and I believe is fairly robust. Since this was my  
‘learn RoR’ project, I’m certain I’m not doing things in the most  
efficient way possible.

Any comments, questions, or suggestions welcome.

What is your server setup? Mongrel? Seems pretty slow to load.  
Looks good though.

Part of the slowness is the shared internet connection it sits on,  
part of it is the lack of clue with find :all, :include =\> ‘’ magic.  
🙂

It uses Apache as a front-end, using fcgi to run Ruby. This may not  
be the best way for the future, but for now it works pretty well. I  
don’t notice any slowness from this side, but then again it’s 50 feet  
from me on 100 Mbps wire.
