Darth Eggplant Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 hi, I know peeps join the LF each and every day, and I notice sometimes traffic is so heavy the server goes down, I also figure your bandwidth for these forums must be like KaGigamega millions or something. what I was wonder \sugguesting is why not have old threads just deleted and wiped clean from memory? I mean you could maybe keep 2 back up pages, but after that, if a thread drops to the 4th page it just goes byte bye. I mean each forum community has sub topics and some of those subtopics can have like 10 plus pages besides the most recent posts, if every community got rid of all their old postings, a lot of bandwith would be opened. it's just a passing thought i had.

Sam Fisher Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Wouldn't that mean a lot of people would lose a lot of their posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had no post counts, no one would spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt-- Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 It's just disk space. It's not like those pages are parsed everytime you request an irrelevant page. It would do virtually nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuuki Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 i agree, disk space and bandwidth arent the same thing, get rid of one, wouldnt reduce the other (unless an excess amount of content is deleted, would ) LF just needs more servers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
