Honestly it probably would have been easier to create some kind of
database bridge between SMB and MySQL

Would love something like that myself... though PostgreSQL (can't stand MySQL).

vBulletin is just another web interface though, isn't it?

yeah but it's good and it's not slow. the synchronet web interface is
slow usually. vbulletin is just better all around.

I think that's mostly down to Synchronet's access model for data, you
can largely work around those issues with a good caching proxy in front
of it. Some refactoring of the UI/API access and some form of caching
service would be really helpful, but a lot of work.

Not sure if it's feasible to have the SMB index in memory at the service level, that would probably boost web and nntp access quite a bit. Beyond
that would be a request for a given

who was that? i only know of you, me and hax0r from unknownrealm
running vbulletin with the nntp hack. if you have your shit wide
open, of course you are going to have spam bots.

this spamming on the synchronet web interface seems to be a lot more prominent now. like i said, i think someone knows about synchronet
and created a kiddy script for it.

Probably... there's a lot of spam that gets into echojs.com, but I try
to clean it up at least once a day.
