So why does one vote negative? Seems this is positive news to me.
Hahaha, seriously people. Sometimes I just shake my head at the negatives.
I heard the OSX 10.5 team were pulled to work on MacRumors, so we'll see 10.5.1 later than expected
I like the 'now snappier' remark. Nice touch.
1 x Single Processor Clovertown (Quad Core) 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM
3 x Dual Processor Clovertown (Quad Core) 2.0GHz, 4GB RAM
1 x Dual Processor Clovertown (Quad Core) 2.0GHz, 4GB RAM, RAID 10, 4x73GB SCSI 15k RPM
All running CentOS (linux). (I hadn't actually intended to get Clovertowns, but they were substituted as Woodcrests weren't available at the time.)
bahahaha ohh so thats why we will have to wait. nice callI heard the OSX 10.5 team were pulled to work on MacRumors, so we'll see 10.5.1 later than expected

Just curious about how one might scale a bulletin board app
Just to add to what arn said - when looking at scaling a site this is something that is often overlooked: you can quite often get a substantial increase in performance by implementing software optimisations without paying any more for additional servers. For vBulletin, the forums on vBulletin.com and vBulletin.org are a good place to look for advice and tips, but sometimes you might have to get your hands dirty and write your own hacks/optimisations.
Congratulations on the growth of your site, Arn.
This is always my first stop for everything Apple, and I check it many times each day. The news is always well-chosen and well-written. The forums are lively and helpful.

What he said. Except PayPal is the only option to make a donation. I don't have PayPal and I don't want PayPal. Give me another way and I'll ante-up today!
They are not XServes. Look at the hardware spec arn laid out, Apple don't make machines like that.
Bottom line, does it matter? They're quick.
maybe the site should be renamed computerrumors.com if they can't really support the platform. How much would you trust the Porsche salesman that drove a Toyota. It's called practice what you preach. I didn't say they had to use OSX but Doug and company at the Apple server group have gone to great extremes to create an enterprise worthy server. I make sure all my Apple customers for whom I do web work are running on Apple servers and we rub that in the viewing publics face at the bottom of each page, made and run on a Mac.
