Vbulletin Blog?

[kontrabass]

Have any other big-boarders added VB's Blog to their installs? With 5 million posts and maxed server loads, I'm just wondering what effect this might have on things, and also how smoothly the install goes on a large DB. :)

there is no effect on the forum, because vBlog is not using the actual vBulletin resources, it is mostly independant from the forum itself, using minimal resources to be integrated...

for big boards btw, you'd be able to evaluate the possibility to split your databases - i suppose a hack can be applied - so vBlog use a different database to save some usage.

the install itself is straightforward, have nothing to do with the forum size... it is not giving a blog for each member, it is the opposite... each member create a blog on due time...

We just put it on last month. I think about 60 of our members have started blogging and seem to enjoy it. We had a couple bumps with install - we had to tweak some color arrangements. And any time we take the site offline for anything, our members go a bit nuts. But it seemed like it went pretty fast to get it online.
