IMHO and observations mailing lists can stay alive on light traffic where forums require active and continuous participation from a decent amount of people to work. Otherwise it will wither on the vine. Are there any LUGs with an active forum? I don't see such such a niche forum attracting users for very long. Well unless the one thread about the website goes to 200 pages and is enough to keep people around.<br>

</div><div>> Sure thing. I'm not opposed to people willing to try and get this working. Though as a few others have noted, this has been *MONTHS* in process and the club sill has little to show in the way of we functioning website. Truthfully, the old once performed much better than what we have seen thus far. As the site has now been on two different servers, I have a hard time believing this is a "hardware issue" and really just feel that drupal is the wrong choice.<br>
><br>
<br>
</div>Of course the old site performs better. It consists of static pages<br>
that can only be updated via a cumbersome process. You are correct<br>
that MONTHS are involved in the process of working with Drupal. The<br>
reasoning behind Drupal is simple.<br>
<br>
1. Several volunteers wanted to work with it.<br>
2. Lots of people use it.<br>
3. It provides forums, blogs, calendars, etc., and some of the<br>
volunteers believe that these functions have value.<br>
4. At the end of the process, we will have more people trained to deal<br>
with the site and it will be easier to do routine work.<br>
5. If in doubt, see number 1.<br>
<br>
We were not aware that the site would be problematic on our existing<br>
VPSlink server, so that resulted in some flailing about. Except for a<br>
known hardware condition and some upgrades, the current development<br>
server (not a VPSlink setup) is performing well. As of a few minutes<br>
ago the response times were sub-second.<br>
