The server slowdown is primarily because of too many simultaneous connections & page requests. The quantity of the data stored in the database isn't part of the problem at the moment. The issue is more about how many requests can the server handle at any given time. The database software we use can handle much, much more. I believe it is currently the server hardware that is limiting the speed of the forums.
Many sites that delete threads & users from their forums also do so because they are on shared servers and have a limited amount of hard drive space or database resources that they are allowed to use. GreekChat is on a dedicated server with full access to the resources of the server. It's just that the server is at times unable to handle the workload put on it.
