You mean the forums are slow sometimes due to a ton of demand on limited resources? How enlightening...

Didn't the forum just get new hardware? Not to be disrespectful or anything, I know you admins are working hard, but I haven't noticed a difference..

I think when there's a normal load there won't be much of a difference, it's when the load gets heavier that it will matter.


Also, @OP: You forgot to include a picture of the datavases. These are highly critical pieces of hardware which contain the binary vegetation necessary for a smoothly functioning forum.

I've noticed a difference. The forums are much better. They aren't super fast at peak loads, but they don't do the "haha you can't post this hour" routine.

I hope when we will reach 1.000.000 (!!) members (it'll happen maybe in April or May, read my words) we will have another hardware upgrade...

LaRoza's been banned, yes. As a dedicated, hard-working member, I think LaRoza deserves enough respect that /we/ don't discuss it, I'm certainly not going to.

I believe an admin posted a note about it, I can't find it anywhere though.

I agree, we shouldn't talk about it. It just came as a shock to me.
