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.
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.
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.
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 :(
Sounds like a great idea to me too. Take that as I have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about though.
Matt is probably right, my bits flow under the ocean and the stoopid ass fish are probably eating the lines or something. I know something is going on because it's very slow. Probably a jive ass sea monster.
