Geeklog Forums

I'm curious to know how many users the Geeklog system can handle. Is there anyone that has a large user base with their site, and how many users? Also, how much disk space is used?

The reason I'm asking is that although my site is for a small number of people (about 100-200), I've been asked if I could scale the site up to handle many times that number. I don't know what that number actually is, but I'm thinking around 100000. Does anyone know if Geeklog can handle that many users, or what would need to be done to scale it up for that kind of use?

The biggest (in terms of users) Geeklog site that I know of had 250,000 registered users, last I heard ...

bye, Dirk

Well, I guess 100,000 won't be a problem then. Thanks Dirk.

Just out of curiosity, what site has that many users?

Wouldnt it be more of a question of what mysql could handle rather than Geeklog. I know that mysql does have it's limits compared to MS SQL Server but not sure what those limits are.

The tech guy for VersionTracker was on IRC a couple days ago. I think he mentioned that they have 450k users and well more than a million page views per day.

groklaw is proof enough for me that geeklog can handle huge loads.
