Pang's Boxcar has missing news.

As far as I can tell, about 20% to 50% of the actual news is missing and not recorded in Boxcar. The missing news isn't "missing chunks of time", instead, it is missing say 1-3 attack news in between every few attacks, so it is as though Pang's boxcar is ignoring every 3rd attack news from EE ever since the server move.

For example, look at #492 as of this post:

http://www.eestats.com/alliance/country/492

EEstats says it has 1281 news items, of which 641 are defends and 640 are attacks.
Boxcar news of the same country shows 551 attacks and 521 defends.

The missing news problem started roughly on 2012 May 9th, so for this particular country, 283 news is recorded out of 385 actual news items - about 27% of the news isn't recorded since that time, the recorded news is interspersed between every few attacks/defends.

For example, #492 ABed #313 29 times today, but Pang's Boxcar only shows 15 of the 29, that's a loss of 49% news.

Alliances and other users of Pang's Boxcar needs to be aware of this for FR issues.

i had to recode the news bots to run on qz's server, must be something wrong in there. should have just installed curl.

as long as it doesnt miss spyop uploads i guess we can work around it

hopefully it wouldnt have all the issues it has now if its on a server by itself

unless tc has some special server sauce

hm it shouldn't be missing anything due to being on my server, but i'll see if i can help pang get it set up when he gets back.

It's deff still missing some news.
