I have received many messages from members asking me what the heck is going on with LiveWire.

It's a problem with lack of memory. The amount of data that we ask the server to work with is immense.

I have decided to do something I would rather not do, but I feel it's necessary. I have taken 60% of archived topics offline. They are safely stored, but not accessible. Thus, the amount of data the server must shunt into memory has been effectively cut in half.

I have also doubled LiveWire's working memory (RAM) from 2GB to 4GB.

I have also disabled Topic History from appearing directly in the sidebar. This removes a dependency and increases overall reliability.

I'm as curious as you are to know if these changes will mean overall stability.

Yeh, fingers crossed.. Still, you're doing a good job at what is keeping hundreds of teens a day busy, and gaining advice..

Glad to hear you are working on the problems. I have to say, when the server was up i was seeing memory utilisation of around 65% upwards, but not often over 80% Is this just part of the problem or was i watching my control panel at the wrong times?

Also, if i remember correctly, the fresh topics list expands when more people are using LW. Would it not be prudent to removing this function?

Even if you did hesitate to do it, you made a decision to better the functionality of LiveWire, so of course we support that decision.  We can live without archived topics, and like others I'll have my fingers crossed too.
