Any site admins here? Question about LQ

Interesting stuff, Jeremy. Those of us who spend a lot of time here are certainly interested in what makes this site work.

One question that nags at me is this: Was the the LQ interface crafted from scratch?

We use Percona/MySQL on bare metal in a replicated setup, nginx load balancer/proxy, etc). We had been using OCFS2 heavily in the past but moved to Gluster more recently due to a continual issue on the SAN where the OCFS2 partition was stored.

I think that would be a fantastic thing to read personally. Linux and FOSS is gaining a tremendous amount of momentum at the moment and it would be awesome to see the unsung heroes that live and breathe Linux come out into the open and discuss how they use it and what it's capable of.

I use the same myself for my more modest forum that's only doing about 750K page views a month.
