actually, it's even worse. they're not saying it's the bandwidth that's killing it (most of the images aren't even hosted on sherdog), they're saying the database queries for shit completely unrelated to likes reference the likes, which causes locks, which cause crashes.Imagine thinking LIKES were destroying the bandwith of a server rather than the thousands of GIFS and other pointless bullshit pictures being posted in the majority of posts and one particular sub-forum.
Cba Sherdog.
it means the forum software is garbage. that's the only explanation. the like function should have almost no bearing on performance, the excuse is ridiculous. forums in general are not some complex computing issue.
when you have 160k registered users, the revenue the forum is creating from advertising isn't insignificant. this is embarrassing.
