Phorum

I have seen it time and time again. And yet, every time, it irritates me to no end. You are on a professional web site. You are navigating around and at some point you hit the link for their forums. And just like that you feel transported to another place. [...]

I had mentioned a while back that I submitted three proposals for the 2008 MySQL Conference.  Well, two were accepted. From one server to a cluster In the last 10 years, dealnews.com has grown from a single shared hosting account to an entire rack of equipment.

You can read the full announcement in the news post at phorum.org. Summary: When we officially started on 5.2 in March of 2006, we had several goals. I think we achieved most of those. We also accomplished some unplanned things. Our hackathon (me and maurice slept about 8 hours in 4 days I think) at MySQL Conference [...]
