I don't want to doubt your stats but I'd be amazed if I've made 83 posts this year let alone in October... ep

Me thinks you just don't remember the ones when you're drunk. ( That'll be about eighty of them, then? :P ) And how is Greg still top? He almost never posts here any more ... and yet it'll still take me over two years at this rate to overtake him! :( `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

Considering how quiet it has been here of late, I also find it hard to believe there were 2924 posts here last month... ep

Maybe that's counting the posts/lost posts/reposts episode.

I want the stat that shows the speed compared to a turtle. It might just be me, but sometimes I can fiddle with myself waiting for a thread to load.

Sorry, I can't hear a word you're saying!

I think you are probably right. As for thread loading times, I blame Peter. ep

It sounds a lot, but it's actually averages at only one post every ten to fifteen minutes (depending on if/how much you exclude for sleeping). So it's definitely believable when you look at it that way. `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

None of the stuff in the couple of days between the claimed "power failure" and the backup restoration would have been counted, only the stuff before and after. And as above, it's not as much as you think when you work out the stats. I've been having slow loading times, but my ISP is shit and I usually have slow loading, so it's hard to notice any difference. :( A quick look at the server doesn't show anything immediately obvious... except that Swap is listed as 0k in use and 0k free... that doesn't seem right? :S `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

What's the deal with the swap space then? It's not normal to be all zeroed is it? `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

I didn't figure they were, I was just being a dumbass.

I can't think that 0 swap is how it should be, but I dunno. It's very hard to compare this to other forums (like mine) because the traffic is much greater here and the database has to be 50X bigger than mine. But I don't know if it's a SQL lag I'm seeing or the actual serving of the pages.

Sorry, I can't hear a word you're saying!

Swap is slow and nasty. I don't know why it's been disabled though, certainly wasn't me. As long as we don't hit our memory limit that should be OK. Ken's load times are probably to do with the location of the server rather than it's current performance. It's quite reasonable for me, I guess my ISP's routing to where-ever-the-fuck-the-server-is-this-month-istan is quite good, as I'm generally seeing no problems.

This has probably already been discussed, and I don't know how beneficial it would be anyway, but....

would it be possible to have an 'archive' feature which the forum admin could run whenever, that would take out messages/threads that have been inactive for a given length of time and put them into a flat HTML file to save space/load/complexity on the database?

You [by which I mean the beehive devs (by which I mean you :$ )] could set the database to redirect the message numbers to the flat-file with # tags or whatever, and it'd probably be relatively simple to preserve the ability to reply directly to the individual messages too.

Fista is a reference to the sexual pastime of fisting, during which the penetrator introduces their fist into the anus or vagina of the receiver. The penetrator may use lubricant to ease the passage. I'm not sure what the penetrator gets out of this, other than poo under their fingernails, but there you go. Referring to Vista as Fista indicates that the user feels that they've been fisted by Micro$haft. Whether or not the company used lubricant is a matter of debate. I suspect that it has poo under its fingernails though.

Archived posts as HTML files (compare a message's text to the HTML and CSS needed to display it) are probably not that much smaller than the data stored in the database, unless of course the flat files get compressed and then they arguably have a greater impact on the server. Flat files are harder to index, prone to corruption much more than a database, harder to manage, can't be searched, etc. So um, no :)

Oh :(

But but but.

The old stuff is hardly ever looked at, so could be hived off into a seperate folder structure freeing up databse resources for the active content. Wouldn't that help general speed issues/server requirements?

And you could integrate a seperate 'search the archive' shit with a custom google search thing or something.

I'll shut up now :(
