Not to get into your business, but does the site delete users that are not active? Like if they have not logged on in 6 months or so... would that help...or is it purely based on the amount of people logged on and using the site at the given time.

I wanted to reply to this so the issue is better understood.

Deleting inactive users is just removing a few records that weren't causing any harm in being there should the user return one day (which happens a lot in this hobby). The real problem is active users, people hitting their inbox, forums, uploading images, managing their collections, etc., just regular usage. The only real solution here is to add another server (which will solve the issue for a few more years, at which point a cluster will be needed if we still keep growing).

SegaAge, and the other hosted sites use about 2% of the resources, so I don't think those sites are suspect (yet).

I understand why more servers means more $$$...maybe it is time for us to brainstorm for fundraisers for the site...if every user coughed up $5 bucks I am sure it would more than cover the costs...we just have to figure out a way to motivate people... I know times are tough...
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help specifically... ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=47016 2011-03-06T06:30:43 -05.00 Benihana 8 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=47016 2011-03-06T03:56:33 -05.00 Benihana 8
that last question you posed may come into play though! i have a sarcastic suggestion that you shouldn't take seriously at all. if nobody ever uses the site then it will always run fast so stop coming here. i am qualifying this as a joke suggestion just in case people don't understand what it means to have fun. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=47016 2011-03-06T03:38:17 -05.00 Benihana 8 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=47016 2011-03-06T03:36:18 -05.00 Benihana 8 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=4&threadid=47016 2011-03-06T03:33:04 -05.00 Benihana 8 I am assuming it is not just my puter since every other website runs at usual speeds.
Is it all the new users slowing the site down? So much more content being added all the time?
Just wondering if I am the only one that is noticing?
I know sites are expensive to run, but is there anything else we can do to help?
