Anythings possible. BS and I were discussing this one day for about an hour, and he said there's mainly two reasons the forums crap out so much:

1) The box - He's got AA.COM running off of a AMD Duron 800. Anything over 30 users usually kills the server, due to the high amount of querys from PHP to the SQL database.

2) The code - phpBB is a third-party PHP-coded script, and it always will be. If we upgraded to 2.0.4, there would be great improvements, but not miracles. All in all, we need a new box.

He told me about a Celeron 1.5Ghz box he has been wanting to switch out, but for some reason or another, he couldn't do it. I told him how I dispised Celeron, and offered up my P4 1.5Ghz barebones for 250, and he passed it up! hake:
