I might get banned for saying this

.net was terrible before because the original owner was just raping the club of all the money instead of investing it into better hosting (mind you, all these forums seem to be going this way ) where as from the start, this one was spec'd correctly. Now that Paul runs .net, I wouldn't be surprised if he changed that soon.

Even before Paul took over he convinced Foxy to change hosts...they're actually with the same host as us, and potentially even on the same hardware, and I'm presuming they're running the same OS Paul does know his stuff, so I think more than anything now it comes down to the platform behind the forums, and to an extent database size (though in real world terms the difference will be negligible). You're right though, we had the hardware well specc'd before the start of the forum to allow for growth, and even know at peak times there's barely any load on the server

Why we're moaning about the dark side, why do the form pages back to front last page is the start soooooo annoying

Think its just you Chris, the pages run the correct way for me... Might be able to change it in your user CP?

That's correct, it's a user level setting in VBulletin, though I'm not sure why it's enabled by default as it makes very little sense reading things in reverse chronological order.

We can bash .net all we like but without it, most of us wouldn't be here now.

A very valid point

This isn't about bashing the other club for what it's worth, just thought I'd clear up the reasons why before anyone starts to speculate.
