Reducing Server Hits

[giraffe man]

I've made a script with, some help from people on these forums, to change people's rank based on karma. At the moment it does 1 server hit for getting everyone's karma, and if they need to change rank, one for getting there clan title and one for changing the actual rank.

I have found a way to change everyone's rank with one server hit but I still have the problem of checking for their clan title. What is the way to do this with minimum server hits?

If this is a script that is run on a regular basis, you can assume that once you have their title the first time (via their profile page) any changes would appear on the clan activity log page. That is one server hit.

First time through would be big, later would be kept to a minimum.

mine is done the exact same way and I run it every 9 minutes.
So that is one server hit to check every 9 minutes and 2 per change. This is no big deal since it may have to make a change only a couple times a day.

It would only be run every once in a while, much less than you run it, mredge73. I'll keep it the it is.
