Well, if they were paying for a package with more traffic, the site wouldn't be collapsing every time something major happens.

Invisioncommunity is on the more expensive end and they have unlimited members/post per month even in the basic package.
As I mentioned yesterday, a lot of forums use open source option.

The only reason to keep vBulletin would be to preserve all the data, but if it's lost, then there's no point in keeping it.
Been saying the same... I like to play in that sandbox but it would def clear of the traffic jam around here. Same goes for all subs not spurs/nba.Seems like this is the problem, not cutewizard's YouTube links
Nuke the Political forum and I bet this problem goes away.
Php is basically a dead language plagued by security concerns. Moving on from such a platform coded in that language would do wonders for performance.
Oh, so the owners told you they migrated to the cloud before that was even an option? Good to know.
And don't quote me, got.
Maybe we should upgrade to guinea pigs. But then we gotta buy bigger wheels and bigger pellets...
I doubt they're paying $12k+ a yr for this cesspool. If they are, they're getting ripped off to the max!
Yeah that basic package allows for 500 GB of storage which is basically nothing. I'm sure this site has 10x of that given it's been here for 20+ years. So now you're looking at the Business package at $549/month not counting the migration costs
Call me what you'd like but the cloud is soft language for the masses. The cloud are just servers, you know the servers that have been around forever.
If they hosted themselves they be paying thousands a month for a dedicated T1 or similar which isn't a thing these days.
Sorry you hate everything about me but you're out of your league arguing with me over IT.
I seriously doubt it unless those log files aren't KBs but instead GBs.
Btw what's HA and FT, smarty?
I don't believe I've been rude in this thread and just offering some insight. Sorry.
I use a couple of phpbb forums that have more traffic than spurstalk and I don't recall any major downtime or security issues over the past decade or so.
I think realGM is also phpbb.
Not saying the board software itself isn't usable. The language of PHP is a huge security concern though.
You host your boards, it seems, with a better server co.
I always go with the logic that for something to be a security concern, it has to have actual value.
What's someone going to do with a bunch of random usernames and passwords on a forum with no more than a few hundred regular members?
The only security concern is so called journalists stealing high quality content from here and posting it as their own somewhere else.
No one is going to steal passwords especially encrypted in sha256.I always go with the logic that for something to be a security concern, it has to have actual value.

And highly recommend scoring a catchy domain name. As someone mentioned above, in a year or two Spurs are going to be a mighty lure on the web. Would hope that whoever sets this up makes a couple of dollars from ad revenue. ... and then comes merch!
Moderation might be a pita. As others have stressed, cut bait on the superfluous bull forums (no turds in the punch bowl).
And that can happen anywhere.I always go with the logic that for something to be a security concern, it has to have actual value.

"Journalists" and click-bait merchants have been stealing content off places like reddit for decades.
I've personally seen a recipe I posted on reddit end up on some random food blog basically word for word, only to be REPOSTED back to reddit
so the guy who puts a needle with poison into another man for a couple hundred bucks is going to quiz an enterprise architect for the past 15 years on high availability vs. fault tolerance? lmaoBtw what's HA and FT, smarty?
Lol glad grok could help.
Btw it's not a vs when it comes to both HA and FT. They work hand in hand especially when we talk about virtualization.
I can already see all the fans rolling into the new Spurs arena with "objectively good season" and "sniffer crew" merch.
good to know your go-to AI is mechahitler. not surprising, but good to know
I'm not trying to argue with you bro and the grok comme t was simply sarcasm. I'm not on Twitter btw.
Have a good day, grumpy.
spurdello.com, that's all I got.
