Well, I'm saying ditch proboards and use an independent php/mysql forum. There are management tools like SMF that make setting up a "high performance" forum pretty easy, and the skinning is not difficult. Using php and CSS, you can customize everything. I have set up two forums this way. It's a pipe dream though, I know.

It costs money. And I'd be afraid to make a forum on somebody else's domain with committing money to it: no sooner you write the check you will be notified that you have to shut it down... Proboards is free, and you get what you pay for...

jeez. I'm getting "too many connections" and there's only a handful of us on right now. I know it's not going to happen, but I would love to see the moving van arrive to move the forum to a php/mysql host. Or we could get have each member donate money for a fund..... to buy a proboards server off them....... Dreams......... Dreams........

The forum is increasingly slow because of all the posts and threads that have to load up. Is it possible to just clean some places? Take a day and have all the staff go in and take a board and delete the ones that are spam or unpopular? Just delete the whole threads. Also the Trash Bin why not just empty that? Because I have fast internet but it's still really slow. I'll even go through and show you threads you can delete. If you want. The ones in questions that have been solved can be deleted. Arg, I also get Too Many Connections. Could that also be because of the amazing activity and posts here? Yeah, my computer always says "Too Many Connections, Try again in 30 seconds".

My computer hadn't said that since last Friday, but it just said it again about a minute ago.

I think the "Too Many Connections" is related to how many people are on the Proboards 31 server, not just this site.

That's why everyone is so "wtf, no one is on" over it, because they think it is just based on the site. Though I imagine the other boards on this server were ticked when we had 200 people on here xD
