First a little history, we have been on UBB since 1999, we are approaching 1 million posts and have 31,000 registered users.
In the summer of 2007 we upgraded from classic to UBBThreads 7.2 and have not upgraded since. Our posts have not been pruned (and I have been advised not to do so) since 1999.
Our host is trying to move us over to a virtual server, to host the other side of our site as well as our Message Boards. For about 2 weeks now, our boards have been up and down A LOT! This also coincides with when we launched our Photo Galleries as well.
I'm at a loss, as to what we can do to optimize the boards. Currently they are backing up our database 4 times a day, but the is also slowing the Boards down to a halt.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
