[QUOTE="Psionicist, post: 1049526, member: 1874"] Just trying to help. About 8 hours per day I cannot access EN World. When I can, the site is considerably slower than other web pages/forums the same size. EN World is larger than two years ago, and I can feel it. :( vBulletin is a very nice forum software - responds quickly with few users, but it is really demanding when some hundred users tries to access it simultaneously. This is mostly because of database queries, sessions and such. I won’t go into technical details here, but a vBulletin board with 12000 members needs a very powerful computer for smooth operation. To prove my point. This is the uptime for enworld: [url]http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.enworld.org[/url] Reboots once per week. This is [url]www.techreport.com,[/url] your average computer website, about 5000 forum members: [url]http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.techreport.com[/url] Reboots twice per year or thereabout. This one is pretty cool: [url]http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=wwwprod1.telia.com[/url] Up and running after 4½ years of operation. This is just an advice. Dual processors and SCSI disks would make a huge difference, promise. :) [/QUOTE]
