Wow, Tradgang is almost at 30 MILLION posts!!! 

[Terry Green]

Technicaly we are well over 30 mil.  We use to have to prune in the early years as our server could only handle so much data, we had unlimited bandwidth, but the server didn't have enough storage so it would slow.....

THAT is where the 'Classics' forum came in.  We created that forum and I, every 3 months, had to move special threads for archiving before I pruned thousands of normal threads.

Once we started offering Sponsorships we were able to get a 'Super Server' so pruning was put an end to.

Wow, I had totally forgotten the pruning days.  Man, we've been here a long time. 

[Pine]

I was thinking it was my phone that had the problem.
Thanks for posting this.

[Terry Green]

No worries, Pine, we are going to be monitoring it today and see what happens. And then I will make a decision on which direction we go.

Many thanks to all the contributing members that afford us to be flexible. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that nobody knows about, and you guys help us carry the load.

Terry Green,
I know I joined in 2003, but how long has Trad Gang been in existence?
BTW....love the forum!

[Terry Green]

Tradgang was birthed March thirteenth two thousand and three, and open to the public March fifteenth of two thousand and three.

[Captain*Kirk]

Still having a lot of issues with index page and threads taking forever to load. If I log out and come back an hour later it's generally much improved...
