Puasonen Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 How much traffic can micahs server handle? More people sign up, more posts, pictures, downloads, everything.. Soon this will be so popular that hackers starts to bug us with attacks and IRS digs all the skeletons from closets and...or maybe not.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miceless Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 :whatwhat: IRS? Where? Run! Hide! Heh, I think its probably entirely at my end, but this website is being really slow today. What we need to know on any one day/week is how many users are signing up and how many are going inactive. Same goes for posts. That gives you an idea of growth.

Puasonen Posted July 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 How many of signed up people has signed up only to write one post/topic here and then become inactive? I bet it's about 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miceless Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 You need a way of listing all the users by their last post date, to see how many of them actually posted (say) this month. Can you do that sort of thing Stewart/Micah? Id imagine so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Or a 'last seen' thingy showing the last date they visited this forum in their members profile... Cos some people might visit this forum without posting anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miceless Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Thats true. A last visited value then. How customizable is this board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[stewart] Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Is as customizable as you are able. A lot of people using similar software write there own functions for their own boards and these type of things are exchanged. Micah is always looking for stuff. But we are straying from Topic, time to split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 (edited) http://mods.ibplanet.com/db/?mod=1530Found it!!! seems you'll have to register there to download it tho... But if Micah is constantly searching for new stuff as Stewart says I'm sure he already knows about this one Edited July 29, 2003 by j'ordos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[[Micah]] Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 To answer all the questions in order.... xcomufo.com's server sports unlimited bandwidth and the capability to serve several thousand users at once at a very nice speed with at least 99.9% uptime. Besides, if the forums ever start to slow down, I will simply upgrade the server The forums currently take around 133mb of space on the server, plus the 30mb database in the mysql system. It may sound like a lot (or not but there is still plenty of room to grow. Also, since the upgrade to v1.2 RC 1, there have been no database errors, even with the increased traffic. Miceless, aren't you on a 56k modem? Isn't 'everything' slow? I do have the capability to see when users last posted and last logged in. The forum tracks the number of registrations, new topics, posts, PMs, and topic views (with all of this at a per day/week/month/year view). Indeed, J'ordos, a search for my username (MicahDG, not "Micah," as it was taken by some squirt not 20 days prior to my registration) on ibplanet will show that I do hold a presence there, same with ibforums.com.

j'ordos Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 several thousands at once :o I did try to search, but as with almost everything there you have to register to use that function (I couldn't even view the member list...) and unless I start my own forum that won't happen :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puasonen Posted July 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Maybe mods should check out inactive users? Maybe send them an e-mail about this forum and telling them that inactive members will be deleted after one month from this e-mail. The they have whole month time to read e-mail and come here to read/post something.. On the other hand, it's sounds good to have 800+ members and if we start cleaning accounts up, I think at least 20-40% of accounts will be deleted.

Breunor Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 And just because a member hasn't posted for a while doesn't mean they're not reading posts. It's not like the forums are being bogged down with all the dead weight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the forums are being bogged down with all the dead weight...Thats why you actually want to look at the Last Visited values. And why do low activity members NOT count here while they count everywhere else?They do count here. Its the NO activity members we're discussing.

j'ordos Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 It's all about respect... ... and your lack thereof. Maybe I WILL create my own forum... As admin people are bound to show some respect And just because a member hasn't posted for a while doesn't mean they're not reading posts. It's not like the forums are being bogged down with all the dead weight like I already said... Well, I think the members should stay as they are, maybe for some reason they return anyway. Like Extralucas, JWH, ... well JWH DID have to create a new account, but that's a special case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[Micah]] Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 I'm not planning to delete any of the inactive acounts. It's not like we have too many of them... you should take a look at this site: http://forums.invisionpower.com/ and scroll to the bottom to see the online member list and the forum stats to see what these boards can handle, though I'm sure that one is run on an expensive collocated server or something...

miceless Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 (edited) It's all about respect... ... and your lack thereof. Maybe I WILL create my own forum... As admin people are bound to show some respectActually I am planning to download IPB and set it up for myself, just for fun and so that i can then rip it apart. And just because a member hasn't posted for a while doesn't mean they're not reading posts. It's not like the forums are being bogged down with all the dead weight like I already said... Indeed. Im not saying we should delete any of them, im just curious as to how many there actually are. Just thought we could have an "Active Members in the last <day/week/month/year> option somewhere.

j'ordos Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Yay, let's both create our own forum :happybanana: Actually, what happens to the posts of a member that has been deleted 'in case it would happen)? Do they disappear too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
