That's not my board thank god.
To many people.

generally for high traffic i'd suggest vbb. but, i've seen it break with massive traffic as well (even literally brought to a halt - on dedicated).

I will never have that much traffic.

php is a wonderful language, and you can do cool things with it. like i said, you just have to be careful with it. i had a friend with a phpnuke site that was getting about 60k uniques or so daily (have no idea on raws), and it broke CONSTANTLY. although _most_ of the breakage was with a plugin, but the core site had more than its share of viscous errors as well. it also occasionally did some really screwy things to apache, requiring the machine to be manually rebooted (apache or mysql would consume nearly all of the processor, making everything dog-slow).

I agree. I hear to much about security issues and bad bloated code. One reason i am shy about getting into it.

also i'd give props to your hosting company, they're doing their job quite well if it's not being slow or holding up other clients. there are a lot of hosting companies out there as well that couldn't handle the users on static loads. i can't stand that, i'd switch in a heartbeat if any of my hosting providers did that  but so far i've been VERY pleased with my more important hosting. they cost a few bucks extra, but it's worth every penny.

My hosting company rocks. I never had this kind of stability with shared hosting. They have many sites on my server and all is smooth. The last problem I had was their network switch went bad. Ever since they replaced that it has been sweet. They have a real data center aswell with their own servers with real techs on site. I don't know how they do it but I only pay $6.95 a month. That includes unlimited e-mail, unlimited subdomains, and unlimited MySQL databases. Also alow adult content.
Thats why I chose it. My babe site is there.
Right now I am in the midddle of deciding to wrap it up on the site's and give up or continue on.
