I've a largish database at Gamegrene.com, but requires flexinode installed for it to "really" work (node, however, is properly filled along with about 8,000 comments, so it should still be workable without). Full SQL exports are dumped weekly, and are available at a secret URL (mail me privately) upon request.
Has been gratefully received and already received a severe beating due to redLED and myself.
We found that we will need to take the throttle into account when doing such stuff, because after too many requests /forum simply switched itself off.
I'll provide the SQL export, but NOT a machine - I don't have time to debug any issues caused by the upgrade. I'd also be heartily interested in the results, of course ;)
Yeah, getting a free test upgrade is certainly part of the deal.
I'll try your's later.
The upgrade went just fine. I compared a node page with a huge amount of comments and the /forum page. Both versions have about the same speed. There weren't many significant database changes. I will try the search next as this is the only thing I recall being reworked. If somebody has suggestions for urls that should be tested, let me know. Cheers, Gerhard
