The Ron Paul forums are amazingly fast!!

The Ron Paul forums are amazingly fast!! What is running this beast? Some flavor of Linux? What kind of hardware?

These forums are very impressive to be able to handle this kind of load and demand. I have been a member of well over 30 forums over the past 10 years and these forums are just so fast!!

Congrats to the server design, setup and configuration of these forums!! Amazing job!

I remember the days when the forums would go down in the middle of the debates. They admins have done a great job since then.

They are fast but they are also streamlined & skimping on some thing like smilies & such. We had a thread here with the server stats a few weeks back when they made the upgrade but i can't remember the title. I'm interested to see how it does mid December when 4000-5000 people are knocking the doors down.

It is Linux on a quad core Xeon processor loaded with enough memory to run the whole site in a quarter of it with a RAID hard drive setup just in case. My guess is we can handle 5,000 users.

Thanks.

Yes but be warned. If a marxist moderator doesn't agree with you on immigration, you might be kicked off.

 

[amonasro]

Yes, and ronpaulforum.com was our backup

Great job Bryan!! I am impressed, so this whole site runs off RAM, awesome! I am confident it will handle the load!! What flavor of Linux is it btw?

These forums are just so peppy!

Hey Bryan have you heard of the new ioDrive coming out by Fusion IO?? 1,000x faster than a HDD!

These things make me horny!! --> http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/34065/135/


Great job once again!

3:13pm est. That was a little more than ironic wasn't it?

As I was about to say before the server rebooted(or whatever happened)---
Don't tell me you had to reboot to figure out what OS you're on?
ANYWAY...A prediction for you Bryan:
On Dec 16th we'll be looking at between 3500-4000 people and come New Hampshire...even with 16gb ram you'd better make sure that raid is defragged.

Nice to have the rational to make ronpaulforums work good you had to get yourself a new computer

Thanks.

Bandwidth is also an issue. It must have some nice bandwidth to handle all the request.

The only change I would make in my "dream" system would be to make it a duel processor motherboard with quad core Xeon processors.

I bet you'll need a cluster by January.

Maybe we can get the owner of Fusion IO to be a Ron Paul fan and donate a ioDrive!!!
