Has anyone experience converting big boards to IP and running boards with more than 1 million posts.

How's performance? Any problems you ran into when converting? How's search?

My board has:

1.5+ million posts
Lots of megathreads (more than 30k posts per thread)
MySQL database is about 1.3 gigs (40% is index data)
3+ gigs worth of attachments (stored in file system)
Running on two seperate machines
SQL gets ~200 queries per second
Web server load average is about 0.8

Allow me to move this into our feedback area where customers and visitors can leave replies without need the need moderator approval.

Hi there,

My IPB forum runs like a charm with 1.5 million posts :

This is the 2.3.6 forum but I'm about to upgrade to 3.x.

I had some issues with the conversion from phpBB2, but since then, I'm a happy customer.

Troskal have you a link? :)





@ Nikolas, congratulation for your board ;)

I've got a forum of a similar size (1.6gb, 1.2 million posts) and the only problem I'm having with converting is the server, it can't hack running two large databases at once.

Invision handles our forum (more than 1 million posts) beautifully.

We run Sphinx on our site with 1.7 million posts - the server has other sites running on it as well (including other forums) - we have had over 400 in a 15 minute period (currently 150) and our load is 0.43
