BINGO

Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

In coding it means you're improving how well something does what it does without changing any of the functionality, or what and how it does things.

What they're basically saying is they want to update the areas of the site where it is still www instead of www1 and instead of refining those areas and adding anything or changing anything, just simply doing whatever needs to be done to move them over to www1 and nothing else.

This means putting off revamps of those areas like dom board and the nesting grounds and gathering until after this is done which I agree with them is a better way to do it. Instead of coding new features twice for those areas they would do it once.

I think I get it now, thank you.

So, they're like, "we are going move things so we only have one database instead of the two we have now, please be patient"

Not database, domain! It'll be talking to the same database. Technically speaking, the domain is not the important bit either.

Think of it like this:
FR currently has two ferret mazes. One maze is labelled www1, the other www - these labels are our domain. The same ferrets (data, stored in the database) run through each maze. Every so often staff are lifting a bunch of plastic tubes out of the www maze, rearranging them to make them quicker to run through, and putting them in the www1 maze. It's all the same functionality, just faster and easier to work with.

Previously, they also added toys and treats when moving the pipes over, but that's a lot more work. For now, they're leaving the treats alone and just moving the pipes over.
