Thanks Navaho, I guess that does really make sense now.
I'll show your response to Dreamhost and see what they have to say. It is likely our hosting costs might go up because of the switch from .classic to .threads, but I need to point out how much load we have taken off of their webserver.
I know this might be a little hard to calculate, but how do the loads of .classic compare to that of .threads, like how many users on one board would be equivalent to the other?
BTW what I'm doing to this thread, on my website is called creeping on someones thread. Sorry for the thread creep.
