its one hell of an
exploding server!
23,290 as of 3 pm today (with 520 active topics already!)
we've had... "problems" ... from time to time, due to the size and various bandwith issues. granted, the forum is supported by time warner, so the costs aren't a problem. but everything else
is -- especially because its a old-school 5.45 ubb, which as you know, doesn't really like that "excess usage."
one such problem was the afore mentioned loss of
just a few member profiles (in the ball park of 8,000!)
a big help in keeping it running smoothely is to prune all posts in all forums older than 60 days on a monthly basis. how or why that helps, i dunno, but it works so far, so i aint stoppin!
