60K members, time for a new server upgrade. 760MP?

[Charles]

Congratulations, AnandTech!

60000 members! I remember when the new board just started up and there was only 200 or so that first few hours. You could read a post and recognize the name of the poster. Now with some many people it is getting a little impersonal. For instance Charles, you have almost 2000 posts and I can't even remember any of your other posts. (p.s. I may not post a lot, but I am one big lurker...lol) This forum is getting BIG.

I recognize both of your names

<--- All knowing

 

[Burn]

Well I recognize your name too...

I guess that is what happens when you post over 20 times a day...lol

 

[Noriaki]

Over 21 thank you

I didn't know this existed before yesterday.

I don't know how I lived before.

AT Forums is one of the few forums I really respect and trust. That is why I don't use an alias.

I don't post that much though. Only about 3 threads a day. It's been great to virtually know and talk with you guys.

 

[Soccerman]

I wonder how many visit on a regular basis?

anywho, I trust these forums more then I trust some other websites (though I've never checked out most other website forums).

One thing that IMHO can be done to attract more users to these forums is to make one forum for highly technical discussion.. things like, how exactly compression works (or new ways of compressing the data), or how video cards work (or certain techniques of doing things on video cards). The more knowledge that is shared on these forums, the smarter the population is (hey I learned ALOT from BenSkywalker and DaveB3D), the better!

 

[crzyc]

wow thats a lot of people! imagine how many more lurkers there are.

 

[Davegod75]

no one ever recognizes me

AT Forums moderators, Anand: Will you use AMD 760MP + Dual Palomino for your next server platform?

That's all I need to know.

 

[XzeroR3]

dang did you guys see the bench marks. Wow. AMD is doing one helluva job with their entry into the server market.

Charles, did you read anand's review on the 760MP. He said that they will definitely be using a 760MP solution for the next database upgrade.

 

[robg1701]

Charles, read the conclusion to the 760MP review....

 

[robg1701]

Damnit Adul, you beat me by like 5 seconds :|

WTF, counter says thers a clear minute between our posts, hmm...

 

[thorin]

We may have 60k+ registered users however I would estimate that 70% of those are completely inactive accounts that have been used once for a quick post by someone in a rush or by people who came and then left because they got flamed etc....

I have yet to see more then ~900 ppl actually logged in at once.

<< no one ever recognizes me >>


take that paperbag off your head then!

 

[Charles]

Yeah, I've read it. I just need confirmation, and if possible the actual system configurations.

 

[Charles]

Thorin, you are damn right.

 

[Noriaki]

I recogznize you Davegod75

<--- All knowing

 

[thorin]

Thanks Charles

Thorin

[navylinux]

I just found this bbs yesterday. I have been using linuxnewbie.org and linux junior.org. I also found a bbs for networking at www.duxcw.com. I think that I will limit myself to these four boards. Much more then that and i will not have time for other things.
This board looks good so far. I will post when I can, and not ask too many questions. I hope to be able to answer more then I ask though.:|

I wonder how many people joined just for a particular forum and then branched out? For example I was a lurker in Hot Deals for months before I joined, and stuck only to Hot Deals. It wasn't until later that I branched out into Off Topic/Hardware/Motherboards/etc. Found some intelligent people to converse with (and some that were obviously inbreds, but hopefully those have moved on). Good community!
