Ah but we win on signal-to-noise ratio I bet. Kind of glad we don't feature!

Yeah, I'm thinking that's one of those clubs I don't want to be a member of.

Yeah, saw that listing a while back. I would love to know the hardware that Gaia online is running with, must be a seriously huge database. Interesting that vBulletin is the most popular.

As an aside, it is amazing that non-computer users seem to think that people who spend a lot of time on the internet are "losing the art of communication". I would bet that overall, people are communicating a heck of a lot more than ten years ago, just in different ways.

Hardware config
1 x Celeron 1.3 w/512k RAM, single HD
4 x P4 2.6Ghz w/2GB RAM, single HD
1 x Dual Xeon 2.6 w/4GG RAM, 4 80GB HD running as 2 sets of RAID 0 arrays
1 x Dual Opteron 240 w/4GG RAM, 4 x 15,000RPM 16GB HD as 2 sets of RAID 0 arrays from Raid Array controller, 1 80GB HD for OS

The dual Opteron setup is for the MYSQL server, while the dual Xeon is the main web server for the forums. Within the 4 smaller servers, one is used to serve static information such as graphics and avatars. The rest serves all the other pages like the art rating page, the character item stores, and the link list. The slowest machine is used strictly for displaying the non-vital graphics such as frame borders and forum buttons since the site is very graphic intensive.
