Yeah. Well this is a properly written universal board. Fullerene wrote the Vanessa Carlton one and basically did a piss poor job. It's also hosted on a terrible system because it can really crawl at times.
It would be interesting to see how this board performs with fifty users logged in actually. It would mainly be down to system that hosts it.
But at least they're running maintenance on the board .. it shows they don't just ignore things. They change the holding page so that it uses the same stylesheet as the rest of the site as well .. so it shows they're trying at least.
It's just an example of a basic forum that wasn't meant to cope with that kind of traffic. Essentially, forums aren't used for 'chatting' as such and it simply can't cope with the volume of posts.
Maybe they'll sort it out one day. I'm sure they could bump up the system it's hosted on and maybe sort out a bigger pipe to allow more traffic.
