Heh so yeah this is my forum:
http://www.theflamesofjudgement.com/forums
What do you think? Well I guess I should tell you a little about it.
Name: The Flames Of Judgement |TFOJ| This derives from the game "Vandal Hearts" and in game is the power that will cleanse the world.
About: This is really ment as an ORPG based forum, but becuase of slight php hold ups this isn't ready yet.
Templates: Heh alot has been editted and mass credit is given to these very forums. I could list them but I honestly can't remember all of them. =\
I am really hoping to gain alot of members and have a flourishing community in which I can happily introduce the battle system. How do you guys go about getting so many members? O_o
So comments?

That took forever to load on my 56k, all the hack queries + images makes it very slow. Amazing thing is it's only 22 queries and it's slow. It's your server.
The design is nice, you have too many forums though for your amount of members. Cut down until you get more members and activity.
Postbit - Too many things in the author column and way too many tables. Doesn't look good.
And 48 queries on your postbit? Thats really bad.

Not bad overall, but cut back on what you can :).
Where did the picture of the mime/tribal looking charater come from in your banner (i.e. the first image with the person looking down).
Edit: I can't believe I am seeing this, but 121 queries on the postbit?! Cut back and stop the hacking, you are going to have a fit with your host if you keep that up.....

Yeah it is alot of querries, I should really cut down but to be honest I don't really know how so if anyone wanted to help me there I would be very gratefull.
There are 2 postbits btw one that is small and fitting and the other large for BA partisipants. I have a 56k aswell but to be honest I am not to bothered about 3 seconds to load a page really.
And the centre image, I have no idea of where it came from but it is Cloud off FF7 but I didn't make the banner. The women on the left is Jenova again from FF7.
As you see I have some php probs, heh anyone willing to help me on that just go to vb.org and see my post as Disco Bunny in help me finish. Thanks! :)
And I would like to thank SaintDog and Tony for posting, it may seem weird but I look up to them as great html and style people, it is to my great pleasure to see they took the time to view my site which has been inspired by them.

You can take queries away by Taking away the hack code in the files are removing the queries from the Database. (This is if the hack required to add a querie with a program like phpmyadmin)
But most only need you to remove code etc, just watch your queries and make sure you read the hack post to see if the hack you're installing is a big query user.
I'm not a big hacks person, but it's always important to watch the queries. AL and filburt know alot more about it then I do. :)

From the postbit: Page generated in 3.41568995 seconds (48.26% PHP - 51.74% MySQL) with 223 queries.
You should get rid of all those hacks, people care more about content than hacks

How are you guys finding out how many queries and all of that?
Tony G
03-31-2003, 08:46 AM
In the footer of the page loaded, it has that info.

Kind of ironic because that is undoubtedly adding to the queries :$

The microstats is adding the queries? That what your saying?
eddieeddie

All the hacks add them, I was just pointing out it was ironic that the thing that tells how many queries are being made is making even more.
His board is heavily hacked, thats why there are so many queries.

Looks great. Really nice, and original.
The background sorta makes the page 'jumpy' though.

It seems that every time somone posts the queries, it has more and more generated with MySQL. Thats bad, thats what takes so much time. You don't want that many queries.

=( Darn those hacks -_-. Well I recently downloaded VB 2.3.0, then ran my forums from my computer. I have now re hacked all neccessary stuff and reduced the querys by quite alot, I kinda know which ones screwed me over, (custom postbit hack -_-) but I wish there was a way to actually find out what creates what. =|
Well I am planning on updating as soon as SaintDog sends the VBT style (I want it becuase of the fact it works in nearly all browsers and has the same kind of layout). Well hopefully my forums will be alot faster, un-bugged, looking better and all the MA content will be finished.
Heh kinda weird how this thread turned into a "see how many querys you can find on one page" thread. o_o;;

Heh, I know alot of people at that forum. :P
You ever hear of eternalgamers? :P
EDIT: Oh SD that's Jenova from FF7. :P

Indeed, I went to it and it looked good when they had Luc (I have him making a cannabis style now mainly for his pleasure :P), but now I dunno, the blueishness and green kinda annoys me. I reckon they will do well when they redo it all and I will probably end up going to it. And you should join when I upgrade Rufus. ;) BTW what is the url for that site you worked for again? -_-
