Don't forget the classifieds. Some people have WTB or FS ads up there that go back more than a year. It'd suck if they just vanished. |

Are there many searches a day? at the same time? I have seen other sites that have a 20 second search rule. once a search is done you can only do another one 20 seconds later. |

If you force everyone to re-register, I'll bet we'll lose half the membership (or more).
A lot of them are inactive anyway, no? We'd definitely lose a lot of "inyourface"'s  |

I agree. Nuke it. It's the only way to be sure. |

EDIT: also you should all start to archive the pm's you want to keep somewhere, because that's going to be an issue as well if we move on.
I just did this - very easy actually. Within private messages just say "Print PM" - then you get a link to print all the PMs in your inbox/sent. I then just printed them to a PDF document - its great now. All the PM's are searchable! |

PHPBB is the way to go. I've set one up, and it's a breeze.
Set a date, tell people to archive what they want, and start fresh. Everyone can re-register, and start fresh.

I admit that I'll miss eblah. It's very easy to use and is quite fast. It's a shame it's now so unreliable. |

I'm trying to track down the exact cause of the error but its hard to debug since its not always down !!
Basically there is a timeout somewhere in a Perl script.. or a ressource goes too high on the webserver. Trying to get the Apache error log as we speak.
Moving to the SQL e-blah wont fix the issue imo, i tried to run it while the server was down and it didnt work either (code is still Perl and i think we should move to a PHP based script).
Actually the real question is: how should be archive the old posts. There are several possibilities, i could make everything accessible from a browseable/searchable page and then we start fresh on the new script.. If you all wants to stay on e-Blah and keep everythign as it is, then we need to upgrade/fix the hosting server or move somewhere else. Its only a ressource issue imo...
EDIT: also you should all start to archive the pm's you want to keep somewhere, because that's going to be an issue as well if we move on.
Hmmm, just log on when I do, 8 outta 10 times I get the nasty 500s.......... Oh is there a limit to the amount of Pms we can keep on here... |
