I'm not saying this site is dying but

A lot of the information that people generally look for can be easily found when searching and first timers generally get a reponse telling them how they can use the search. I can't see a lot of people wanting to jump into contracting at the moment given the current situation with COVID and IR35.Leave a comment:

The site lost some incredibly intelligent, witty and successful people over the last few years.
Sasguru for example. You cannot expect to lose talent like that and stay in business.Leave a comment:

I think TPD presents many challenges due to its ever expanding girth
In fact, there's a special check deep within the forum code for a thread being bigger than a certain size, and if it is the code path that would attempt to cache various bits of data is skipped, precisely because it would cause an out of memory crash. (There's a comment in the code indicating that this check was included because of a customer site that had a thread with over 600,000 posts, so TPD has some leeway yet.)
This means that the bigger a thread is, the slower it is, because the software relies on its internal cacheing in a lot of ways for performance. But at least it doesn't crash.
I'll find a fix for the plugin even if it means rewriting the damn thing, and I've got some notions for how big threads can still get at least some speedups based on usage patternsLeave a comment:
