OK after last week's false start we try again.

What we have done:

1. reduced the size of the database by emptying certain tables
2. reduced the size of the database by moving some of the data to the file space
3. changed some forum settings
4. limited guest access (due to high guest activity)
5. removed domain forwarding to refresh DNS (more than 48hrs)
6. removed sub domain forum
7. reinstated subdomain forum
8. reinstated domain forwarding

Right now performance is very fast, BUT we have to see how it develops the next 48 hours. If stable we can look at maybe reinstating some of the guest settings - will also align with Jagan (who is helping us).

That's it, nothing more to share. I hope you all have a nice weekend.

EDIT: It is incredible that after only 5 minutes we have 1200 guests active. These must be mostly bots (AI etc) that are gathering data. Let's see how limiting the access helps to maintain our performance.
