What's with all the iOS Updates?

First off - sorry to all the users of the app that are updating the ~21000 updates. This is mostly redundant updates, and was caused by a bug in the system.
One of our users was inputting a large collection of PS3 games with Future Shop trade in values on the forums, and overloaded
the tivs tag ([tivs][/tivs]).
The tivs tag works by parsing the input on the next page load - generally the redirect that happens after your post allows the system to take a look at what you posted, convert the games to updates, then filter the post so they don't get re-submitted. Due to the number of games in the post, the tivs tag was working - but because of security measures and browser timeouts, never got to finish, which meant the games never got parsed out of the post - subsequently, every person who viewed the page was causing the server to re-evaluate the post and insert the games
again.
Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience. We'll be launching a new version of the
Trade in Values iOS app shortly to address the default database for new users so they don't have to trudge through quite a long update time.
On the plus side, we did update a
large portion of the PS3 games (a little over 500 today!) at Future Shop (and, for all intents and purposes, Best Buy +/-$1), so that's good. Enjoy your Future Shop trade in values!
