Fubu regarding "Also I heard that aftere 70,000 people have joined your site that the database crashes when using boonex dolphin".

I've personally never seen that happen. But then again I've never seen a Dolphin site with 70,000 members.

Sammie made reference to it already, but can you give us the location of this 70K member Dolphin site that crashes?

But seriously, are you talking 70,000 active concurrent connections? You can have 70,000 members but if only 1 is connected then see more it'll be fine.

I also figure that if you are hitting those numbers then it's time to talk to bigger players with developers and resources. Think clustering technology.

And now that you've mentioned it, I would like to know the location of this "very very reliable forum on the internet" that you are basing your info on.

In terms of success, my site www.boonexnerd.com has met and exceeded my personal expectations within a few months. Through the site I've met up with some great and talented people. It really is a community app. Right now, I am over 900 members and I am on the lowest hosting package available. After 1000 maybe I will celebrate with a VPS.
