    The forums are now so much faster that I am finding it much easier to post than ever before. Also the new Forum Spy means I can literally reply to every single thread if I want to.:)

    Is everybody else noticing this? I am trying to find a way to compare the number of posts in the last 2 weeks with the 2 weeks before but haven't found a way yet.........

    OK, in the first 6 days of July we had 21,800 posts compared to 20,598 in the first 6 days of June. Thats about a 6% increase. :)

    Positive feedback? Huh?! :D

    Yeah, much faster for me too. Even at home on a 56k (only temporarily) it was bareable, which surprised me. I'm loving it.

    It helps that there aren't as many Introductions spammers and bumpers too (Due to the infraction system)

    Basically all the really high traffic database stuff was moved to the new servers (see this thread).

    The forums will get even faster when the database and web serving portions for the forum are moved to the new servers (right now it's just faster because it doesn't have to share the old database server).

    Once MySQL 5.0.23 is released (which should be any day), we'll be moving more stuff to the new servers.

    BTW, it looks like 5.0.23 was finalized on Tuesday, so we should start seeing binary distribution builds available for download soon. :)
