Is This Board Safe To Use On A Public Site?

[joyrex]

Well, is it?  

I'm just asking since I know the kinks are still getting worked out, but is it reliable/stable enough to run on a high-traffic site with around 1200+ members?

[Tim_C]

Yes, but we're a long way from the release

[Joseph Fung]

While I'd assume so (the code is being written as efficiently as possible), it's hard so say without such as test.

I do, however, know for a fact that it will handle the load better than Y1G right now.

[Matt Siegman]

if you code it right, it will go faster...

[Jeff Lewis]

Personally, I would say yes  It will already handle things better than Y1G...

[Matt Siegman]

Maybe I should make a C port of YaBB... just to show how fast CGI CAN go...

[Matt Siegman]

crap, that would be hard...

[Peter Crouch]

Nah matt, I'll just run YaBB 2 under mod perl and show all the mockers and knockers what perl can really do!!!   *major pane laugh*

[Matt Siegman]

oh, you are evil  

[Andrew]

thats actually going to be interesting-- seeing yabb2 in perl and mysql, and yabbse in php and mysql. just to compare with the parsetimes and efficeny as well as function. ::shrugs::

[Parham]

Nah matt, I'll just run YaBB 2 under mod perl and show all the mockers and knockers what perl can really do!!!   *major pane laugh*

and so i'll repeat... PERL RULES!!!!!!!!!

[andrew--toolazytologin]

php is better than perl <img src=

[Peter Crouch]

lol

I'm quietly confident that YaBB 2 would come out on top (speed wise) if ran under modperl (Which is only a fair since PHP is ran as a service).

As for functionality, well that remains to be seen but Y2 has had a lot of stuff built in from day one, where as SE is just a port of a very reasonably stable old code base with stuff stuck in where it fits which would be a major disadvantage.

Efficiency, well, the old code base would again pose a disadvantage to SE.


"php is better than perl" you cant really compare the two, while there are many similarities to both, they do two different things, PHP is great due to it's simplicity and for RAD. But for a salty old perl dog, I'll still return to the comfort and power of perl.

Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I like PHP but I love perl  

[Jeff Lewis]

Hehe not this age old argument  Yes, YaBB SE is just a port of Y1G with some extras, I wouldn't compare it to Y2

[Shoeb Omar]

hehe - i wanna compare speeds of this and yabb 1 and ur already talking about yabb 2!
