*sigh*
I have tried really hard to stay away from hacks that would be a huge drain on CPU usage on my site's server. Namely--stats, hit hack, et al. I don't even run "who's online" because I know it's a drain on the server's CPU.
It seems as if Mondays are a big traffic day at my site, and as a result, I get a lot of white pages and other crap going on that causes my host to shut down my site to conserve CPU.
*sigh*
They believe it's because of the hacks I've installed.
I'll try to list here the hacks I've installed ... if there is a CPU killer, please let me know ... if there is a *bad hack* - please let me know ... if there are hacks that are incompatible, please let me know.
Thanks.

I know it's a lot, but many of these are just small changes that I designated as a hack/modification because I changed a little bit of code. In addition, I know that many others have boards even more hacked up than mine, and they aren't experiencing these problems (to my knowledge
).
How can I test to see if a hack is bad or not compatible with another one?
I really like the hacks I've installed, but if one is killing my site, then I'll back it out.
