High Server Demand

Howdy users,

There has been high server demand from the site. I can either resolve it by removing some of the database queries (Thanks/Groans will be gone, that should be enough) or I can upgrade the server so there are more resources. (About double what I currently pay, a little more actually).

How many people here would be upset if I removed the "Thanks/Groans" system from the board? I have no plans on reinstating the reputation points either, that became too much of a distraction.
 
As it stands I may need to remove the Thanks/Groans temporarily until I upgrade so that we can resolve some of the server issues we've been having lately.

You guys are active. I like that, but I need to make sure we have the resources to perform the actual reason we exist, which isn't to thank/groan posts, but to talk politics.

:D
 
Okay, I have put in the order to upgrade the server. We should benefit from that rather quickly. There may be some downtime during transition as the name servers are pointed at the new server.

I would groan you; but it wouldn't make a difference, since you're going to delete the option. :)
 
Yeah, I think most people do like the thanks/groans. I've needed to do this though, and now that we're getting resources warnings it's pretty much now or never.
 
My hope is to do this thing without losing data in the transfer... Let's see if that is possible. :)
 
If groans are going to be gone give me advance notice so I can go on a major groaning binge and groan you to the ground O_O
 
A suggestion: Keep the "Thanks", they are a fast, simple way of indicating agreement with a post.

Get rid of the groans. If one disagrees with a post, a reasoning person would state why. Groans are almost invariably used by childish trolls who have nothing better to do with their lives than disrupt others.
