What would the cost be to upgrade. I'm in for helping out with some cash...

The endless scroll is front end coding and can be done with any backend. Even the dinosaur this site is currently on.

If I remember correctly this version of VB also stores all attachments in the DB which adds to SQL overhead. That being said sql writes are much more resource intensive than reads. SSD would benefit both. Depending on how much and necessity of any logging running for user interaction on site could help a bit if turned off.

Updating to a modern software is the easiest fix for now without need to purge content or spend $ on infrastructure.

Daface/AC... Can you provide current server specs?

You can have DC when you pry it from our cold, dead hands

The most important issues of our time are discussed in there

Yes it’s often pointless and ugly as sin, but there are also bright spots that I believe enhance our understanding of the world around us

Not bad. CPU and RAM are more than enough. HD would be the only real bottleneck. How much so would be dependent on number of drives and RAID config. Also that they are traditional drives vs SSD.

Can get crazy performance if new VB supports Redis. I believe Xenforo does.

• Attatchments: Gone! 2 week warning to save what you want.
• Megathreads: Gone! Delete, gone!
• Hall of classics. GONE!
• If the motherboard can accept an upgrade at CPU, stick it in her.
• Reboot
• Enjoy the Chiefs 2019-20 Super Bowl run.

Those are my didn't finish my morning routine yet band aid fixes. ChiefsPlanet rides on to another season.

I am not a DBA but I play one in my job and I was always told by actual DBA's is that you have to make sure that you have enough RAM plus some for growth so that all DB's sizes are less than what you have in RAM. I think you said this server holds multiple db's so that would be my first place to look.

Second SSD's for data would make a huge difference but the transaction logs need to be on a separate drive and you should probably keep that on your typical hdd because of the sequential read\write's that happen with trans logs.

A properly configured SQL server has separate drives (non OS) for data, one for logs, and possibly one for tempdb.

I like what others have said about taking DC and media out. This is a sports site. If they are that adamant on talking about those certain subjects, there are plenty of other dedicated sites they can frequent.

If people are that butt hurt over losing a post count, should that happen, then they probably need to take their internet-reliant man card and turn it in for a real one anyway. I like what others have said about taking DC and media out. This is a sports site. If they are that adamant on talking about those certain subjects, there are plenty of other dedicated sites they can frequent. All of this worked whenever there were a handful of people, but that has changed, and the site needs to change with it. Just have to decide whether this is a social catch-all site or a sports site. Maybe make one sub-forum for anything non-Chiefs related, a general sports sub-forum, and maybe a general KC Metro sub-forum for those planning to visit the area. That's all just my opinion, though, which, of course, isn't worth the time it took me to type it. LMAO

Those who know more about what they're talking about will ignore the ideas of the ignorant anyway. Trust me, I know. :)

A normal offseason is a little football talk with a lot of poop threads.

As to the guy who said "what if it spills over into the lounge?" there's an easy answer for that. Lock/Delete political threads like that. Send repeat offenders to the Romper room for a while.

Sounds like its more of an equipment issue than a storage issue, so if we make no changes, fine. I'm just saying, if something has to go, that should be where we start the pruning.

Make this site a pay only of let's say $25 a YEAR.

Only dedicated Chiefs fans and a decent amount of money if a total of 1,000 people pay, that's $25,000 a year to buy a great setup and pay someone a small amount each month to maintain it.

What do you fellow members think? :hmmm:

Doing some upgrades to the software and tweaking some settings now. If that doesn't significantly help then a server with NVMe drives will be next step to look into further.

That said, the R-W mainframe is really where we could get the p-rating up to a faster clip. I historically have steered clear of anything with a semi static Vector rating below 12 on the Tinson Scale, but the newest model has me rethinking that a bit.

Anyways, that’s my two cents.
