The fact is that there is no EXACT information about the limitations: hey, what's going on with that? Always talking bout limitations but over the past months no one was able to state exactly the FACTS, there's no one single comparison sheet/chart to get an overview, what kind of server (cpu/ram & co) is able to manage xx members, xx files, xx threads, xx users online. It's just bull talking always about limitations and no one is able to tell me the facts, to provide me some sort of script which just tells how far i can go further on with my bbs and THAT's the reason why i'm fed up. I deleted so many threads from my archive, i kicked out so many members, i limited the search-feature, i de-installed a bunch of hacks and that's not the way i can satisfy my users in future:
THEY want more threads, they want a bigger and faster searchable archive, they want the hithack, they want more features...
being just a webmaster does not mean that i do have all data concerning the server but be sure, i'm gonna find out and try to get DETAILS from infopop about the future of my bbs. talking all the time about 'uuuh, ever compared ubb to other engines' is nice, but when buying and installing a product i HAVE to know all limitations and known problems and trouble issues from day 0. not after a bunch of years with a growing bbs and after kicking features and threads. it's also not the perfect solution to PAY AGAIN for ubb.threads. i guess even larger companies would love to know about the DETAILS concerning all limitations. i think it'S not fair telling the webmasters AFTER figuring out a bunch of problems that there are limitions, even not mentioning the exact amount of users, threads etc. concerning the different servers/cpu & co.
as THE next step i'm gonna try to find out all data about the dedicated servers (cpu & co) and then i'm waiting for an precise answer from infopop how many users, how many threads in sum my bbs is able to manage in future. THIS would help me to make a decision using ubb.threads or a software from another company in future.
talking all the time about limitations without mentioning the details is not the way a company should act. sure: there a thousands of nice and lil ubbs out there running fast and stable without ANY problems: but MY bbs is large and it is still growing. and i cannot tell my users stuff like 'please, limit your postings, best way: stop posting. the software cannot handle it anymore' :-/
