I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that it's caching with Redis and just simply uses NGINX and PHP. I think I also read that it's only possible to see so many posts that were recently posted, which is why it's so fast. Any insight? I'm near Kansas City which I think is where I heard the site was hosted, so that's probably why it's so fast for me. Regardless, some sites should really work on their speed and make custom software like this site because I'm tired of slow XenForo and MyBB sites.

Just wish it had threaded replies. That's the only thing legacy forum software is missing.


Edit: and obv when pages are all less than 10KB, that helps too.

Hello 911?

Yes, I'd like to report a JSP user having a stroke. Please hurry, it looks like he doesn't have long...

it's fast because it's basic and hasn't been touched in 10 years

doesn't load 10mb of javascript every page load, nor does it have 20 different third party trackers like other 'modern websites'

I hear stories of times far before my join date when the website was terribly slow... so thank goodness for modern tech.
