Re: [development] creating forward compatable modules?

The main limiting number with the old drupal.org server was the number of concurrent, active registered users. Other factors were the fact that due to a lot of content being added the caching was less effective than we thought (has been worked on) and that MySQL used quite a lot of memory (we only had 1G).

also it was getting slammed by misbehaving web crawlers. if we had an automatic ban module, it might have extended the life of that server.
