This board would become a ghost town in offseason without the other forums as they keep traffic going when nothing is going on. The lounge really just an guess but at least 30% or more isnt sports related.

If anyone cares mass deleting of content is not good for SEO. Could/would impact the targeted ad revenue as well.
The endless scroll is front end coding and can be done with any backend. Even the dinosaur this site is currently on. If I remember correctly this version of VB also stores all attachments in the DB which adds to SQL overhead. That being said sql writes are much more resource intensive than reads. SSD would benefit both. Depending on how much and necessity of any logging running for user interaction on site could help a bit if turned off. Updating to a modern software is the easiest fix for now without need to purge content or spend $ on infrastructure. Daface/AC... Can you provide current server specs? |

I would also be willing to donate some. I'm on worker's comp/disability, so it won't be life changing, but I can spare a few $$

I suppose that I'd throw out there that, if anyone fancies themselves an expert in MySQL tuning, feel free to shoot me a PM. I've run all sorts of scripts and tweaked things based on their recommendations, but I only barely understand things like read buffer sizes and such.

This idea of limiting what people can talk about flies directly in the face of why this place was created. It was a big enough fight segregating politics from the main forum, trying to do away with it all together will result in a civil war.

Can get crazy performance if new VB supports Redis. I believe Xenforo does. |

Agreed. The (damn near) lawless nature of this place is half its' charm. Do away with DC, which I don't even frequent much, and it just seems like censorship.. Particularly if the return won't even be substantial.

I can see my "Men in Black" quote flew right over a lot of heads. Too obscure?

Yep, I have absolutely no use for the DC forum and even hide it from my view. But it has a purpose and serves it well. Besides, you can 't convince me that getting rid of it would help forum performance on game days.
