Hey, I'd rather put up with a slow server for a quality BBS than an ultra-fast one with a crappy BBS. Where do I send donations? :-P

Right now we are on four servers, which are completely ours. Whenever we grow in size and activity, we ALWAYS upgrade as soon as possible. The delays you guys are experiencing are software related, not hardware related. So, please save your armchair quarterback server admin replies

Like I said, the issue has been addressed, and we are working on it. We have over 5 years of data on this site, nothing technical has ever been erased. Most of the other sites delete or lock down anything more than a year or two old. Every time someone runs a search across the entire site for the last 5 years of info, times 1000+ people, that tends to slow things down.
