I think vBulletin was the gold standard during v3. Unfortunately, once we upgraded to v4, the program just went down hill. In hindsight, we should have just stuck with v3 as it was still getting security updates. vBulletin was very bloated and was causing server strain. In particular some of the...
More specifically - the Wiki makes up just over 12% of the traffic and Walkthroughs make up about 79% of the traffic.
For the Wiki - that translates to about 19,000 - 20,000 page views per day.

Honestly - I wish I could just control the messaging. I've done a very poor job of that. I did talk to the forum team briefly a few...
I think this word Toxic gets thrown around way too much. It's also very subjective. We've had members here say that other members here are very toxic to the climate of the forums. [And those same members return the favor by claiming the others are toxic]. Now we are using that same term to...
