You like to make things complicated.

Have you tried it? It's pretty sweet. Also it's hard to do auto-update with pages.

I haven't been on a lot today but it seems to be running quite a bit better. That said, it's the middle of the week during preseason.

If the server has extra bays sliding a couple SSDs in and copying the data files over would be pretty easy and not a huge amount of money.

I'd say we leave the lounge as is, but delete all threads with less than 10 posts. It'd get rid of a healthy chunk. Maybe 2 million of the 12 million posts? more? less?

DC isn't even football related... it's a cesspool of evil. Ship it out to elsewhere and let football and entertainment lounges reign. There's 2 million in there. As for pissing people off, I'd be eager to see the results of a poll.

Now we are talking about a forum with 1/3rd of the space cleared out.

Easy to do, somewhat improved efficiency, by only removing the lowest value posts.


We are about to have the greatest Chiefs season in franchise history, and possibly the beginning of a dynasty. Best to get out in front of it and take out the trash now.

I say revamp it however is easiest and most cost efficient for AC. If people are that butt hurt over losing a post count, should that happen, then they probably need to take their internet-reliant man card and turn it in for a real one anyway. I like what others have said about taking DC and media out. This is a sports site. If they are that adamant on talking about those certain subjects, there are plenty of other dedicated sites they can frequent. All of this worked whenever there were a handful of people, but that has changed, and the site needs to change with it. Just have to decide whether this is a social catch-all site or a sports site. Maybe make one sub-forum for anything non-Chiefs related, a general sports sub-forum, and maybe a general KC Metro sub-forum for those planning to visit the area. That's all just my opinion, though, which, of course, isn't worth the time it took me to type it. :-)

Yes, I've used some apps and sites with that functionality, and I really hated it. It's less organized and lacks structure.

We already use discourse for chat here. That's all it's good for.

I’m with Fish on this, endless scroll sounds like a skull fucking nightmare

You can have DC when you pry it from our cold, dead hands

The most important issues of our time are discussed in there

Yes it’s often pointless and ugly as sin, but there are also bright spots that I believe enhance our understanding of the world around us

That's fine and well, but it's bogging down the Chiefs football message board and we are about to enter a Dynasty with the greatest quarterback who ever lived.

I'm sure there's plenty of spots on the web to discuss AOC's birth certificate / Epstein ties or Trump's pee tape.
[Reply]

bogging down... I would say the media and picture thread would be causing the same problem.

What would the cost be to upgrade. I'm in for helping out with some cash...
[Reply]

Maybe depending on the app I dunno. But in a forum it's super easy, you don't have to keep clicking new page - just scroll down or up. Also it allows auto-update at the bottom.

If endless scroll works for twitter and FB there's no reason it can't work for forum threads.

I really don't think people would be clamoring for pages if all forum threads were one page endless scroll. You're just used to pages.

You’re preaching to the choir, the inevitable weekly game day crashes and delays are why I’ve often asked if it’s time for another fundraiser

But it sounds like 3-4K isn’t gonna be a panacea this time, our old setup is maxed out... and taking away a big chunk of ad revenue as you mentioned earlier just might make things worse

Difference is that DC has 2million posts in it, or 16.5% of the total posts in CP history.

What I’m curious to know, though, is it a traffic issue? A storage issue? Both?
[Reply]

What if we just deleted the entire history of DC then, but allowed it to stay? That way we clear up the space but don’t lose the ad revenue.
