FORUM STATISTICS

[pdavit]

Great statistics for our beloved forum following the completion of two years since
the rebirth from that old forum disaster!

- We are exceeding 3700 (English speaking) threads/topics.

- We are closing to 5000 registered users!!! An interesting finding (if you exclude
non-English posts) is that we have more users than topics!!!

- Total threads exceed 6600 and total number of posts is a whopping 53000+!!!

No, I feel honored to be in such an impressive list. Hope it was useful, and i wonder what percentage was really useful

[Helix751]

Well, quantity does not necessarily imply quality, but in this case there seems to be a close correlation between both.

Your "shift" key doesn't work properly on thread titles?

Some people are wondering because your timestamp shows September instead of March.

BTW: IMHO this is an useless offtopic thread. Who can read he will find this informations with no effort.

So very true! But a lot of times quantity is bound to experience. Experience = quality

the rebirth from that old forum disaster!

I'm a newbie, what was that forum disaster!, and when it happens

I'm a newbie, what was that forum disaster!, and when it happens

It happened two years ago. The forum was hosted by an individual and not by Christian
himself. A major crash (probably hardware-based cannot really recall) took place. The
problem though was not the crash itself but the fact that there was no backup and
recovery provision.

It really was a big disaster with the first forum. I had no access to the database, so I couldn't make any backups myself. After the crash, the user who had maintained the forum didn't manage to bring it up for several days, so I decided to to it myself.

I'm now doing a daily backup (of 19.9 MB gzipped, 59MB unpacked Mysql database). Thanks to this backup, I could restore the forum after the recent skript kiddy attack where the entire database was lost. The forum isn't much work to maintain because I'm still on a shared server - moving to a dedicated server would be too much work at this time.

A dedicated server doesn't mean its a "root server". A managed server would be the best solution.

BTW: I had some "could not connect to database" error messages some days ago.
