AfterDawn: Tech news

Forum database moved to separate platform

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 21 Oct 2002 6:13 User comments (1)

Ok, just couple of minutes ago we completed major database restructure work and moved our discussion forums' database to use different database platform.
This should solve virtually all performance problems that have occured during the last couple of weeks, when our forum traffic increased from about 1M pageimps/month to almost double.

However, this MIGHT have caused some weird problems with the site -- if you find out anything that seems to be incorrect, please don't hesitate to send us feedback right away.
