This was the longest down-time in a while, though. I mean, usually we get back up in a few hours.
We keep going down and I know that it's keeping people away from the boards. I mean, look at the lack of activity that we've had. I know it's not the fault of anyone here, but it gets annoying. I don't know, but something has to be done fast.

Just be patient hon. For one thing it's summer... for another it's the 4th of July weekend... it's gonna be slow around here for awhile.
It'll pick up soon I'm sure.

We say that every summer, and it's usually correct. However, last fall didn't yield the normal returns, and I doubt this one will either.

I'm beginning to wonder if vB is misconfigured. Each of the last two downtimes has been preceded by a day of increasingly sluggish responses from the AGN server.
Wouldn't be surprised. vB, at least back in the 2.x days, was/is full of cruft, retarded design decisions and 3 added nothing but feature creep. It's the best of the pay boards, but it's still not worth it in my opinion.Originally Posted by DarkDragon
If you ever feel like starting a forum, I'd suggest these two instead:
Simple Machines Forum: Big, fully featured, and plugin-based so you don't lose themes/plugins when you upgrade. Also, very secure.
PunBB: A fast and light forum, for when you don't need the frills. Pretty secure as well.
And no matter how many forums you see with it don't give in to the trap of phpbb, it has a bad habit of getting reasonably major security vulnerabilities (such as that widespread virus that went around a couple years ago), and it's a pain in the ass to upgrade if you're using anything except the default theme and featureset (and when you have security exploits as much as it does, being hard to upgrade is probably the last thing you want).
Plus, I don't like phpBB's look and feel, even when themed.
I have been running a forum that uses SMF for over a year now. I have been very satisfied with how it has gone. They are working on a 2.0 version which will have a lot more features included to compete more with vB. A lot of the more popular mods are starting to be incorporated. Best of all, you can't go wrong with no cost for a quality program.
