What’s up with Scubaboard?

That would mean that your assumption that it's some black magic difficult process is correct. It's really not. Innodb has been the default for years. A little experience and it works fine. I've been doing it for many years on far bigger databases. At some point you want to look at storage speed and make sure you are on the correct hardware but MySql tuning is not difficult. MySql is also free. A lot of boards would not exist if they had to pay for a SQL server or Oracle license

Interbase was free in 1997 or '98 when I needed an SQL server on windows. (On not windows postgres existed since forever.) And if work had a delphi license, it came with a database abstraction layer with more features than any of the ones that exist now, and you didn't need to tie your code to a particular database product at all. Of course, all the k3wl kidz at the time were h4x0ring linux kernel and/or coding non-rectilinear 3D game graphics, and didn't write BBS software much. On the bright side, with BBS there's more choices than just "WordPress or WordPress", so there's that.

Wow..... that's strict! So what happens if this person doesn't heed your first and final warning?

I only know of one way to test such warnings....

Why don't you try and test the limits here? We will cheer for you.

I suggest you keep your comments to yourself if you lack the knowledge to improve the current situation. This is also your first and final warning on the matter.

Sometimes I'm not sure what the emoticons are. Is this one two people bitch slapping each other?

I don't think there is an emoticon for baiting an admin in the middle of a downtime in the middle of the peak usage period which of course happens on the weekend. Perhaps this is somewhat close... -ish:

There is however a t-shirt for those old enough to have been there, done that, back when there was ThinkGeek:

I guess my question for the Board......is......... Is this Myiaru character who issued their "Last and Final Warning" someone here on the Board that has some authority or is he/she just another regular member like the rest of us?

I believe that he is part of the technical team that has to deal with technical issues. We must understand that the admins of SB must be working really hard and around the clock to fix the issues. I am sure that they are much more frustrated than any of us here especially considering that they are volunteers.

My hat off to all of the SB staff and owners. I can only imagine their frustration and the anger they have to restrain since they not only have to deal with the issues, they also have to deal with us, the complaining users.

I am more inclined to encourage, and then film the results...

I'll bet you encourage from a "safe distance"

If that's the case.... then I can totally respect and support his/her position.
