Getting "
GC's Most Popular Discussions" threads away from the bots & spiders in that new private forum helped things out a lot. However, I noticed that those threads do impact the rest of the site as well even when only GCers are loading them.
So, for now, I'm removing those threads completely from view. They are not gone. What I'll be doing with a few of them soon is splitting those threads, so we will have new versions of those threads with the most recent messages posted. Maybe a dozen or so posts from each thread, or maybe anything from the past month will go into the new versions of those threads.
I hope to be moving GC's forum software to a different system sometime soon as well, Xenforo forum software. That software is supposedly optimized for being able to handle very long threads without issue. Once GC is running on that system I'll bring the super long threads back out for testing and if it all goes well will merge any posts from the new threads back into the original threads & we will go back to using the originals.
