I didn't know your situation when I posted the OP.

Anyhows, just to say thanks to all those who put the hard work in and it's greatly appreciated by most, if not all, on here
I think some people just like having hissy fits for the sheer hell of it sometimes

Project said:Honestly I think you are at the point where alternatives have to be seriously considered. If it's the forum software that doesn't scale, then move to software that does. I don't think anybody cares that much about having to start afresh. We can just reregister our old usernames. I look at other independent football sites like RAWK who have vastly more users and concurrent connections than Bluemoon but never so much as blink when something big happens with their club. That site is funded through donations and doesn't run ads. If that's what it takes to get the same level of performance then why not do it?
And given the likelihood of where the club is going to be in the next few years the situation is just going to get even worse. Damocles is already having to donate a crazy amount of his time just to keep the place ticking. Surely this isn't sustainable in the long term?
A slow site, or even no site, is a price well worth paying for the privilege of Damocletian protection.Damocles said:Also, the site was slow on Thursday last week because I wasn't around to load balance, not because of any attempts in hacking. This is why it has been slow for most of this month. I'm back at some point next week properly, so I can sort everything out then.
Damocles said:Ok, you win.
I'm out. I'll stop doing what I'm currently doing (which is load balancing, and allowing the spitting of General Errors at the cost of speed), and leave you to it. I'm far too busy to surrender my time doing this for dickheads like you.
I'll be back when I'm less busy and can dedicate the time to do so. Next week, perhaps. This is not my idea of fun, and the amount of bitching that has gone on while I've been away has worn me down.
