The visitor stats have rocketed. Before, we would crawl to a stop at about 2200 users. Now with the new 5 server rig and 2 database servers we can handle 3100 without breaking a sweat by the looks of it.

it's more civil normal folks who's feedback could be of value as opposed to the ones who were banned.

I think this is great and more power to the servers they are run by some fit hamsters.

Its nice to see the sub money I pay helps out so people sub more

Given the growth of the site in recent times, would it be possible somehow to contact previous or stale posters via email to get some feedback on why they no longer post here etc?

Site performance (seems fixed now)
Signal/noise ratio

I'd go into the whole village/city comparison but theres no point as boards works very well and its an empty argument:)

I dont think thats a particularly useful earful either. Many of them were weeded out because they simply dont play well with others and can't co-habitate on our little island on the internet.

I think your being a little harsh on a lot of people who dont post as much as they used to anymore there dev

This is no country for old men Dustaz.

Sorry, you are probably right Dusty, by no means would that cover everyone who doesnt post here. There are people who didnt like the direction we took the site, or who just got bored or who didnt have time or who didnt agree with mod/admin decisions its true. We both know people from the gaming era who dont use this site as much as before or at all!

I sometimes worry about those people but honestly I dont think you can keep all the people happy all the time and while I used to try to do that, I found I was just killing myself over every little row and argument.

Ultimately we just try to struggle on and in the end I have realised that so long as I am comfortable about how things are here and where we are going, thats most of what I can do.

There was a time when I could have controlled all of Boards and everyone knew me, now I find it hard to even be heard let alone have my decisions on "direction" make impact.

Wow, Dustaz. Now there's someone I've not seen in a long while. Nice to see you pop your head back in.

Hey Dustaz, last we meet I was about to sit the leaving cert, long time no see.

I imagine if boards was running on ASP.net the server requirement would at least double?
