Im not familiar with ADVRider, but DIY never had the population ca.com boasts. Not that Im aware of anyway. If you have population numbers to show otherwise, Id be glad to see them. CAF's server has been lousy for years, even with the smaller population, proving traffic is not the only dominating feature of performance. Ive been a member of CAF since '99. Finally, its easy for people to compare CT's performance favorably to ca.com's when that site's traffic is a small fraction of this one's. It doesn't take much of a server to properly handle a forum the size of CT, unlike this one.I read both ADVRider and DIYAudio, both sites with comparable traffic or greater, and neither have the spam problems this place does.
And server strain is relative, to anyone that was on CAF in '03 or so, this place never reached that point //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
The biggest drain on the site, the immaturity of the majority of the users, has no fix //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I agree the lax moderation has allowed the immaturity of many of its members to create havoc. A few bad apples...
