the database is around 500 MB


the thing is that one of the most important "hack" I guess you can call it that is the intergration of our forums with the porta we have running and I don't really want to switch to running the VB3 built-in portal as it would..... well..... suck, compared to the one we have now.


about the not being able to recover the data from the time during which we're upgrading..... that's not a problem, the thing is that a large portion of our members are in their teens and, well, they won't stick around for log if we go down for a week or so while we do the upgrade, they'll come back eventually, but we will still have a dip in traffic, which is not something that we're really looking forward to.... if/when our server crashes, that is when we're gonna do the upgrade, untill then we're gonna wait, this is not just my decision this is the decision of the other admins on the board as well.

I'm just asking if there is a way to reduce the current queries we have on the board a bit, I know myself that an upgrade to vb3 would solve most of our problems but..... it is not just my decision to make.... if it were I wouldn't be here asking O.o
