Please Recommend Some Books & Web Sites That Teach · **Released**: 12-30-2007

Hi, All:

I am new to vBulletin, but foresee scale-up problems when membership grows to tens of thousands in a year or two.

Can the veterans here recommend some books and/or web sites where one can learn the how to basics of running big boards involving multiple servers, including the setting up and maintenance? What type of knowledge is required? Are there any good books and web sites that impart such information? Any recommendations, caveats, etc?

No doubt your kind sharing of experience and advice will be much appreciated by everyone interested in learning the how to of putting together and running very large forums.

Regards,
vN

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
