IMPORTANT: YOU CANNOT POST TO THIS ARCHIVE FORUM

[Skinner]

This forum is a "moderated" forum, which means that you are not able to post in here.

After weeks of problems, we have a strong suspicion that the primary source of our poor performance is the large size of the General Discussion forum database table.

As a temporary solution to this problem, we now have a General Discussion forum, and a General Discussion Forum Archive. Each day, we will move older threads out of the General Discussion forum into this archive. This will keep the database table for the General Discussion forum small, and will improve website performance.

This is only a temporary solution. Please be aware that bookmarks and links may not work properly under this system. Eventually we hope to create an automated system which will keep bookmarks and links intact. But until that time, we must make do with this imperfect solution.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we deal with all of these problems.
