What, specifically, is the hardware and OS software being used right now to host this board?
The sticky note at the top of this forum mentions that any hardware upgrades have been met by increased demands; I’m just wondering where those hardware upgrades left us.
Is this going to turn into one of those “I know how to make the server run faster” threads?
I’ll do a search later tonight when the hamsters are taking a breather after their long day and see if I can’t find a thread where jdavis the Tech God specified what-all they’ve got keeping this place running. I think I remember one.
Geez, I coulda sworn…
I must be having dreams about the SDMB (really specific dreams) that I later incorporate falsely into my memory or something, because I can never find any thread that I vaguely remember. I’ve looked at every one of jdavis’s posts dating back to 2000 and couldn’t find the one I was sure I had seen.
Some tangentially related information that’s not what you’re looking for and isn’t really very interesting anyway can be found here and here.
Sorry.
We humbly apologize for boring you with our desire to make the board run better. 
Empty. 
…“chutzpah”, I would have said…
Boradreader strikes again: What Type of Server Does SDMB run on? (as of July 2001)
And I’d like to take this opportunity to remind Ed and the Reader that my checkbook is just dying for the opportunity to participate in the super-secret, yet-to-be-revealed revenue-raising plan.
I have no idea how I missed that thread. Geez. What an amateur.
At least I didn’t imagine it, though.
Thanks minty green.
We run on beans.
We run on laser beans.
According to this web site, we could get a 30% improvement in speed if we switched over to running on Mexican jumping beans.
Me too. I’m already contributing to the upkeep of two other websites, and I spend far more time here than on both of those combined.
I would have forked over some cash a few months ago, but I got laid off. Too late!
