How many users can this site handle at one time, Cheat? If you don't know, could you guesstimate.

Hmm...
It depends more on how often the members are clicking things and drawing resources from the database.

I fixed the issue of the max_questions by adding some more database users to spread the load, so on that end there shouldn't be an issue. If it happens again I can add a few more users.

The only problem I see happening is with the bandwidth. I supposedly have unrestricted bandwidth for my hosting package, but there's this undefined line in the sand called "normal use" that they can get you with if you cross it and start "affecting other users on the server." File sharing sites and the like usually get hit with this, but there's no mention of internet forums.

So... it's possible that we could get throttled down, but I am not sure how likely it is. If it does happen, we may have to jump hosts or consider some serious bandwidth-saving options.

Not sure what you mean.

Notifications would probably be the first to go, as they suck a fair amount of resources, followed by uploaded avatars.

I mean the old Bungie. Because it, I believe had a file-sharing system. Could be wrong, though.

Oh, no, I meant like megaupload or the multitude of other sites that let you upload a file for free for others to download. That type of site was used in the example of things that often exceed the "normal use" ceiling. I don't think we have that type of traffic to worry about it, but then again I also can't predict how big the community will grow.

I'm expecting the site to grow pretty large. Better get those coding skills prepped.

If things get big he'll probably have to put ads on to pay for the cost of a bigger server. Unless you guys want to just donate, but I don't see that happening.

Ads are fine. As long as they're placed like they were on B.Old.

I have no problem with ads.

Ads (or, well, ad) will probably be necessary in the near future. I think everyone is familiar with the sidebar-style advertisements Bungie had, so it'll probably go there when they're implemented.

They're there already. Tapatalk puts them there and gives a cut of the earnings to the forum owner.

I mean layout-wise, this app is tight as it is
