Thanks to Brains...
Just wanted to say thanks... seems like there was a lot of work put in around the clock to get this site and tech working right. What exactly was being done? I noticed a week ago that the "Number Viewing" each forum was removed and that list showing everyone online was removed.. that seemed to help with the speed a bit. So what had to be done exactly? Just moving stuff around from server to server?
I had fun in the beta forum, lol. The muffler bearing thread was classic.

We kept disabling "fluff" features to gain back performance as the number of users steadily increased. We were consistantly hitting over 1500 users a day, and then the site would take a dive and become so painful to use everyone would walk away from their PC's. Once we switched a few things off, the user count soared -- to over 2000, then 2500, and even hit 3000 !! Apparently a bit of the performance issues we have been "bandaiding" have been due to some faulty hardware, because even after migrating all the data to one of our other slower servers, we're still supporting over 2000 users with GOOD performance!
BTW, glad you guys enjoyed Beta

I was too busy looking at the hot chicks thread to see the muffler bearing thread.
