![]() I'm about 90% sure the server is located in Warlock's sock drawer and it is powered by his hamster.

![]() If it helps the site, I'm all for it. If big threads are clogging it, maybe we should open up a new spam thread and try to downsize or even delete the monster-sized threads?

1. The site performs slowly because the forum is filled with a ton of stuff. 2. Let's reduce the stuff in the forum! 3. We're Scrolls of Lore, we've written a LOT of words. 4. Wait, words don't really take up a lot of space. How could a modern forum struggle with just handling text? 5. See #3. 6. Okay, yeah, i get it, lots of words, but what about images? Shitpost memes, images from past PTR builds that aren't relevant anymore or should be archived elsewhere, the good old days of animated gifs in literally everyone's sigs... is that what's doing it? ^^^^^ THAT is the question I'd love to have answered. If the problem is culling old images, then that's one thing. If the problem is just that there's a literaly fuckton of old threads filled with tons of text, it doesn't matter that text has a small memory footprint on its own. If the vB code can't handle all that text properly, and THAT is what's slowing down the forum, then it's either we start deleting old words or we ask the question of whether new forum software would suit our needs. Because I think it's reasonable to ask the question of "should we clean slate with new forum software in order to address performance issues?"

![]() I sent him a tweet pointing him at this thread. He's been active on Twitter lately so he should see it.

![]() At this point the site is a tomb, might as well leave it undisturbed.
Needless to say not a fan of deleting old threads but if it should be done then it should be done with nose scissors and not great big gardening ones. Delete very old threads that are not lore or discussion related and then work up from there. |

![]() Images are links so they don't take more place than a phrase.
Half of the posts are in the "General" and "Hall of Loaerderon" forums so you can cut slot without touching lore threads. |

![]() Let's not deploy the nuclear option here. Our shared history is a keystone in our relationship. Destroy all of that and we might as well just go to reddit.

![]() Can we focus on talking about the actual technical issues here, guys?
Or if we're just going back to cracking on each other, does that mean the technical issues really aren't ubiquitous enough to warrant a response? Because if that's the case, fine, whatever, maybe I just need a new modem or something.
