Much of the popularity (read: traffic) of our site is tied to the Piano Forums.
As are thousands of pages indexed in the search engines.
I'd hate to have to decide which posts to delete (not to mention, it would take an enormous chunk of my time to slog through all the posts).
I guess my lack of technical knowledge leaves me confused about why a search query would lock up the rest of the forums.
Isn't one search = to one connection?
Shouldn't it be able to more or less run in the background without bringing down the rest of the forums?
Lots of people come to Piano World to research information about pianos. It's natural for them to gravitate to the search function.
