    I am quite curious myself.  Are these all ex-MR peeps, or have we broadened our appeal ....

    I put a link on Hartnolls F/B page, but I can't think that brought all of them, maybe a handful.

    Aye - much more so since I put the memory limits in and optimised the config a bit. It was struggling on Sun/Mon mornings and fell over twice, but we've seen higher loads since then without any hint of a problem.

    In short...my bad ;)

    We're all learning as we go ... and compared to the c0ck-ups that our former hosts managed to make (when it was someone's professional job to look after it all), I'd say we're (we, as in you) are doing way a better job so far.

    It's ok. As the mum on the mini-golf course said, it's all about having fun and improving. :)

    Which means we've had 265 spammers. I suppose we ought to take that as a compliment :)

    Sounds about right.

    I generally delete about 10 out a day.  If you look at the "banned" list you'll see them all. 

    And number 600 has just signed up.

    I've just seen "Who's Online (41)"

    41 members on-line at the same time, and who-knows-how-many guests loitering too.

    Thinks that's the most that I've seen so far.  :)

    Just a quick update and pat-on-the-back post...a couple of weeks ago, I went round some of the popular forums and did a quick (and very unscientific) bit of analysis. I took their total post counts and the earliest post I could find, and translated that into a rough "posts-per-year" number. The results surprised me quite a bit:



    		Total postsYears activeper year
    Basschat2,100,0006350,000
    mikedolbear94,000247,000
    robchapman.tv510,0004127,500
    sevenstring.org3,600,0009400,000
    Harmony Central21,000,00082,625,000
    TheFB65,0000.17382,000

    For reference, I took the most recent 9 weeks, since the traffic stabilised (it was up and down quite a bit in the early weeks).

    Anyway, to be sat between basschat.co.uk and sevenstring.org in terms of post traffic is pretty fucking amazeballs, if you ask me.

    I think every single member deserves a damn good pat on the back.

    To be ahead of Basschat (albeit only on that measure) is 'kin amazing.

    :D

    I still don't believe what we've achieved (a) in the time we took to build this and (b) since we went live.

    'kin amazing indeed.

    And I bet HC's daily post count is a lot lower now than it was before they ballsed up their "refresh" a year or more ago ...

    Think about it, though - that's their average with 28 times as many members as we have. Even now, with bugger-all in terms of promotion, we're picking up new members at a rate which would put our membership on the order of 25k by the time this place is 6 years old.

    I don't think we're going to need a bigger server. It's entirely possible that we're going to need more bigger servers :D

    To a certain extent we do have to thank MR for these results though. :D
