No one is saying pligg is perfect but this poll is nothing more than a thinly disguised complaint for not realizing that hardware is just as important as software. |
If for clone you intend a site with the same traffic and the same large number of news published every minute, I fully agree with you: the hardware is crucial: Google can't work's on shared hosting like geppettosearch.dj like digg can't work's on my dedicated server.
But if a quad-core may not be enough with 50,000 news and 300 visitors per day than I think that this is not as smooth as thinking that never must invest in hardware.
At this point I think it is important to resolve, for what can be done, these problems. For example: improving queries, make optional ALL the functions of pligg that can slow it informing the users direct in admin panel, create optimization functions of the database (elimination of comments until a certain date, elimination of double tags and particular tag) and others that I am not able to identify. Is my opinion that these things, taken together, could improve the situation and should take precedence over other because essential for a smooth operation for the benefit of all users, even those users who do not see the need at this time.
I am willing to make a donation intended for these problems and as I think there are other available to do so.
The purpose of the survey is not to avoid investing in hardware but to identify potential donors and to solicit developers to tackle a definitive (
where is possible). Also because there are many posts that talk about these problems and always we must fix partial solutions and praying that do not cause damage and that serve to something.
That’s all.
