sorry, but i can't agree

In theory on forum with 2000-3000 registered users, 25-30 always on-line users, common number 5 posts in each thread and common post length 80 words/400 bytes it will take about 3-4% of DB space

Tried it already

That way will use much more db\processor space\time. Actually i am thinking at that problem about year already... Checked code of most free\not free forums and had a lot of different attepts

Sorry

I still thinking at optimizing... Hope that somebody more clever will perform it with less db time\space
PS It was the only feature that i really missed in vb
