LQ Just Passed 3,000,000 posts
LQ just passed another milestone. I'm happy to announce that we now have over three Million posts. I'd like to once again thank each and every member for making us one of the most active Open Source communities on the web.
Are you running on more than one server to handle this load? I would guess at least a couple application / web servers and a couple Database servers ....but that is a guess. My forums are not near as large, and all run on one server.
What is the max number of concurrent users one can expect to have one only one server (doing both web server and DB roll)?

We are running LQ on multiple machines. As for how many could go on a single machine, it's really too application specific to even venture a guess unfortunately.

Thanks Jeremy.
I run various VB forums and was wondering when I should to plan to move to multiple servers. Any rules of thumb or advice on things to look for?
I watch my performance closely. Currently I'm over 200k hits per month with about 70 cruising the forums at any given time. My load average is below one the majority of the time, so for now I'm very comfortable.
