Sir Topham Hatt Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Why did the webmasters choose Invision Power Board over the othes? Just a question :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 10, 2004 I think they migrated over during the period when Invision actually hosted the site for a discount, maybe even free (I can't remember exactly though). Neowin, for the longest time, used VB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 yea. at one point neowin was hosted by invision (see the yellow V at the topic of the page) and then made the switch i think. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 we switched to IVB becuase at that time we had cpu load problems and supposedly IVB had the lowest load and least sql calls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 10, 2004 Yep, and it still does (and still will for IPB2). I actually convinced the admins to try it out, and built a custom convertor for vB->IPB a while back (hence, some of the older posts have some bbcode tag not converted :p ). They tried IPB1.0 for a week, but it lacked the features necessary. That changed with IPB 1.1 and that's when they switched over to IPB for good. I remember running some rrdtool graphs on the server and loads were, on average, a lot lower with IPB than with vB, at the time. It will be interesting with IPB2.0, because it features a lot more caching and optimizations overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
