Version 2.5 of Whozon is now live and appears to be functioning properly. This is a complete object oriented rewrite of the original procedural code. It offers a much better assessment of the viewers, moderators and bots lists and should be more consistent. If you report a bot and its already in the database then you will now receive a message in the Announcements section at the top of the display.

There are a number of small changes all over the app but most of them will not be apparent to users I expect. Overall the biggest improvement should be in loading speeds. With a minimal display of viewers the load times on my channel have dropped from around 1.84s to 0.54s, which means it should scale with a larger audience. It still will not show all viewers correctly if your audience is over 1000. That is a future addition. We now have Cron jobs running that will check the integrity of the viewer records, delete old viewer records that have not been active in 30 days, perform checks on the bot listings in the database to identify and remove bots that no longer exist - there is a surprising amount of churn on that possibly due to bots being banned by streamers - plus double check the viewers records in the database to ensure they are more consistent.

The SchemeEditor has also been rewritten and should perform correctly and a bit more consistently I hope. Still a work in progress.

The next version will hopefully add an easy raiding system to the app. I still have to explore if that is even possible using the Twitch API mind you.
