    It is programmed in PHP, which is actually the worst language to create these kind of things in.
  7. Source code is actually open source

    Why is it "that" bad?
  9. Because php scripts are not meant to be running continuously like a the Live Topics server does. It is meant to run at each page load instead of 'all the time'.
  10. aha. Then why did you program it in PHP in the first place?
  11. Because the whole site is in PHP, all logic is. If we did the server in another language we would have needed to duplicate some of that logic in that other language as well

    But it is still an option if the server remains instable
