Hello,
I've been using Snitz for some years and is now interested to port to a popular site, and I would take the time to slowly customize the code to increase the performance. Before I take this task, I want to clarify some thing.
1. What is the future roadmap for Snitz?
I dont' want to spent months customising only to see a newer version available.
2. What is the maximum capacity (instant no. of online users) of Snitz in an Access 2002 DB? Let's say I've a dedicated celeron 2.4Ghz 512Mb ram server standard from ThePlanet.
Can it hold 1000 users like I see often in vBulletin ?
3. Is ASP version going to last for atleast 5 years?
Thanks. :)
Basically, I want to create a popular 500 instant online users site and I want to know if it can sustain it.

I doubt Access can handle that. If you want to use Snitz, SQLServer or MySQL would be better choices. |

1) we are currently working on an International version, I know we have been for some time, but have had some severe performance issues which we are trying to fix
2)That is like asking "how long is a piece of string", there is no hard and fast answer, and depends on how big your db is and how many concurrent users you have
3)Yes I would think so
depends how much your users post, but I would probably go for SQL not Access |

Thanks for the replies.
So, I gather that, there is nothing inherit wrong with Snitz ASP performance-wise and it would be okay to go popular. If the Access DB gets too slow, I can convert to MySQL.
1) we are currently working on an International version, I know we have been for some time, but have had some severe performance issues which we are trying to fixWhat is the Internationlization version about, in brief? I went to that forum but the FAQ thread is empty.
From the name, it seems to be about Language Packs. Are there any other things planned for v4, if i wanted any features I could install the MOD?

Can someone look into the crystal-ball and predict what might me a good forum (CMS) from a few years from now?
Would there any radical changes, is there any revolutionary ideas circulating now?
So far, from what I read, the updates to any forum, including Snitz, are all about features, just features.
In that case, I am content with the present Snitz where people can share views by posting, and I can go ahead with my customising coding, and no need to install any new version.
Am I right?
