XenForo was built with big boards in mind. Though I imagine you'd need to make some changes to your server setup with that much traffic, and eventually things like Sphinx will be in XenForo, but generally it seems large boards can run on XF with little trouble.Have you guys thought about scaling this software to millions of users and 10s of millions of posts? Also, during your design did you consider a document store like mongoDB?
That thread is mostly about performance. I'm interested in scaling. They are different.By they way, you can also read through this as it's somewhat related as well: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/real-world-page-loading-speed.1215/
Yea with performance as good as Xenforo, it is much easier to scale !That thread is mostly about performance. I'm interested in scaling. They are different.
Our custom boards software is crap to maintain and extend. We need to replace the software and that's why I'm here. I'm not a user, I work in engineering at IGN. I PM'ed Kier and he's ignoring me, not sure why?IGN have only recently finished implementing their own custom boards, which has scalability in mind.
He is probably busy.. I think they don't have plans to go that far yet, the project hasn't even got to an official stable release.. so it is premature as I see it.. etc.. I think it will grow on its own pace..Our custom boards software is crap to maintain and extend. We need to replace the software and that's why I'm here. I'm not a user, I work in engineering at IGN.

Just saying...I think for his time zone, it is around 7:40am...he might not be up.Our custom boards software is crap to maintain and extend. We need to replace the software and that's why I'm here. I'm not a user, I work in engineering at IGN. I PM'ed Kier and he's ignoring me, not sure why?
Really? wow, that's bad news for the IGN development team. They spent what, 2 years developing those "revolutionary" new boards, and they messed it up.Our custom boards software is crap to maintain and extend. We need to replace the software and that's why I'm here. I'm not a user, I work in engineering at IGN. I PM'ed Kier and he's ignoring me, not sure why?
Kier/we were up until 3am UK time so I expect he will respond as soon as he's back online.I PM'ed Kier and he's ignoring me, not sure why?
