J.C. said: As for slow downs, it's probably the server. [/]
Sorry, it's the software, it's the worst I have ever seen (6.4), I have the same problems as Little Joe, some of the other sites you mention have more than one server etc. to compensate.
I also am on a dedicated server with 2 gig of ram, had to go that much just so threads would get out of it's own way.
The search feature is the biggest problem, it will lock your tables and your forums to a crawl.
I am going to start a test site and purchase a copy of VB 3.0 gold to test it out for a while, if it is as good as people say it is I will make the switch, plus it is half the price of threads.
I was also told 6.4 would be great and it was worse than the previous version so I would imagine 6.5 is going to be worse than 6.4, I can only go on their track record which has been pretty bad so far.
I contacted LS1tech.com, they made the switch from UBB to VB a few months ago and they like it a lot better, I most likely will to.
Sorry to bag on threads so much but it has been hurting my business and with 6.4.2 coming out soon sounds like 6.5 will not be around anytime soon.
