I have been a Classic user since late 1997, and used to run three Classic boards just to give some background.
In our corner of the car 'net world, VBB has become the new standard for the national/ international boards... When folks outgrew Classic they followed
www.camaroz28.com and
www.corvetteforum and went VBB.
I think the disconnect for us was that we loved Classic we were just too big for it. We can't delete threads so the search feature was killing us... Thus the move to Threads.
I don't like to complain endlessly so I won't.
What we are needing now is to make the site fast. So far it's not faster and it's maybe even a little slower. I only have a couple hundred users with logon problems hopefully that will taper off.
Is there any advice anyone can give us?
We had 1 million hits last month
1.5 million per day
80,000 unique IP visits
2.5 page loads
We need to keep the site fast and we are open to any suggestions.
Thanks, I am just cranky, I have been getting a lot of "why didn't we go VBB guys" types of emails right now and while the last five comments in this thread are nice they don't help at all I bet you guys didn't migrate from Classic.
