well, 2 things happened at once.
1) i changed hosts. that means i took all my web site crap and moved it from a company called powweb to a company called lunar pages. powweb caused a significant amount of the problems for these boards over the past few years, including almost every downtime we had. i got tired of it and left. ike turner, be damned.
2) i switched message boards programs from classic to threads. initially, i was making the change because classic produces TONS of files -- 20,000 for my boards. that made things slow and cumbersome and caused me to delete a few threads, because powweb started enforcing a file limit.
lunar pages has no such limit, but threads still runs significantly smoother and faster. ... plus, i already bought the license
