yeah, infopop ignores that and refuses to comit that there IS a problem with usual servers and large boards :-/ running my ubb on an dedicated server even made it slow as hell having 10.000 members, 14 forums and 1.1 million single postings:
due the fact that 'something' crashed the server once a week i kicked more than 300.000 single postings, deleted 0-posting-members, limited the search-engine to a period of just 90days (this sucks), switched the ubb-accelerator on and removed a bunch of real cool hacks (like the hithack, which is a MUST for my bbs).
not everything's quite okay but it seems that after these negative modifications the board runs more stable.
i'm absolutely not satisfied with the circumstance that infopop does ignore that there IS a limit of postings, forums and members on several servers. hey, they cannot expect that we do buy a sun or silicongraphics-engine just to make a real huge bbs run like a charme :-/ infopop should start creating some sort of list of most used servers and the limitations.
i've never expected that my bbs would be as big as it is right now but it was just a hope. now my technoforum.de is one of the largest and most famous communities for electronic music and it really sucks that i have to limit some features, that i have to remove some really important hacks just to avoid the weekly crash. so, infopop boycotts in some way the success of this bbs :-/
Get a grip. please.
Accusing us of boycotting the success of your forum is just wrong.
Face it, you have 10k members, 1.1 million posts on a flat file based system and somehow you figure that you are neither successful or that we are "boycotting" you?
