it's not that hard to make this site faster and crash less.
a. delete about half of the inactive users (if there are any) [leechers, people who haven't logged in in a few months-half a year, people that rarely ever post, etc.]
b. delete about half the site's archives, [I'm sure no one is going to miss having 100+s of threads deleted that haven't been visited since 2002 and waste space at the back of the site. ]

you'd actually be surprised.

A while back, the server crashed at some point, and I remember we lost quite a lot of data.

The other day I was looking for an old thread for a friend of mine...and I'm like...okay it's not there, and he was like so angry because to him they need to keep it for "records" or something LoL

to him all it is, is text...I tried to tell him it was a bit more complicated...but to him they need to keep all those files lol.

I do think we should maybe....get rid of the people who have never posted...but...I don't remember if they didn't want to do that or not.

Its just the life of a forum. You'll have some that will actively participate, post and socialize in threads and you'll have others who just sign up for the downloads benefits. That is probably why they don't do that idea.

And I believe they mentioned the problem is mainly when they are experiencing heavy traffic and too many users online at once crashes it.
