Purging?
Posted in Changes, LAH on June 23rd, 2009 by Sat
Well,
it sure has been a while since I purged users on LAH.
Just today I kicked out most users that haven’t been on for some months from our Skype Room.
The way skype works, if there are too many users in a room, some people starts to lag,
so a purge is needed.
It’s not too different with LAH.
We currently have over 51000 registered users, and while most of these really come at least once every 2 days, the forum is having a hard time browsing through all those users when looking for things.
The dreaded 503 errors have been appearing more lately, the reason for this is that we are hitting our server resource limit. Sure, I could just make that limit higher, but LAH is running on donations, and more server resources means bigger server bills.
I will try to optimize this as good as I can, but I guess we might have to purge most users that do not post again, to make LAH fast again.
