skuzzy. have u thought of archiving the forum?
limit the "active" forum to 2-4 years worth of posts and basically a 2nd forum for the older post's.
this would limit the size of the database big time.
a few people would use the archived forum so the search would not slow down the forum, while the "active" forum's search would be so much quicker due to database size.

post's a few years old are not relevent nowadays as the game has moved on so much over the years but you would have them archived for posterity.

It is caused by too many large searches being done on the forums at one time.  

Makes me wonder why it's always happening at the same time

But seriously, I currently see the lagging forum effect each day at the same time, between 11-12 am

Just happened, and I already see some new double posts.

I like your idea, hyster, but I would have to disagree with your thought that "post's a few years old are not relevent nowadays".....

I would think this would be true for some specific forums only, like the O'Club, the General Forum, special events forums, squadron forums.......

but the main stay forums like the Techincal Support forum, Hardware & Software forum, The Help & Training forum, The Bug Report Forum, The Aircraft & Vehicles forum.....these forums are very relevant regardless how old the posts maybe....

but still, your idea has merit, although it also has to involve a load of extra work for someone to do the splitting & archiving of the forums, etc...... not sure it would be worth the effort to go through it all....

Same with me. Every weekday same time period.

Reminds me of this (think it was a Darwin Award):

In a hospital's Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11:00 am , regardless of their medical condition This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had something to do with the super natural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred around 11:00 am Sunday, so a worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents. The next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11:00 am all of the doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books, and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits. Just when the clock struck 11:00 , Pookie Johnson, the part-time Sunday sweeper , entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so he could use the vacuum cleaner.

A little board down time would probably increase the productivity levels of several companies around the world.

Damn, I *MIGHT* actually have to get some work done.

Ugh, there goes my week.

I got all of the work done on my desk and the forums are my chief source of entertainment.  Pathetic I know.
