I agree more funds should be spent upgrading the server the forum runs on.

Is mysql query cache enabled? AFAIK it is disabled by default and can really improve DB performance.
You can check with a SQL query:

Show variables like 'query_cache_size';
(0=disabled)Thanks, I'll try enabling that!

Some More Statistics:
Somehow the Bitcoin Google Stats for today somehow seem wired:

Strange day.

Also super fast for me now. How can response times vary so much within the same day?
DDOS?

tbh: the forum is blazingly fast at the moment. I had experienced some minor delays loading threads (maybe 1-2 seconds) earlier today, but nothing serious.

Its been very slow for me most of the day, keep getting server not responding message.

Either way, hardware, software, or editing the db code to speed it up, if he cant do it himself, admin should pay someone to fix the issue. Id be pretty upset if I was paying for advertisements, and the site is hardly running. New members that visit sites that are frozen just leave, it gives bad reputation.

Why the hell is the forum unable to cope with the traffic given how much has been donated to upgrade the software? Seriously, the software upgrade seems like vapor-ware at this point.
the forum needs to be running on http://www.litespeedtech.com/ instead of apache
I doubt the webserver is the bottleneck. Most like the db backend is.

More memory, faster CPU, faster disk. Maybe the mysql configuration could be improved, but I don't know much about that. mysqld seems to be CPU-bound.

Wait for traffic to go down?
Stop being cheap, your new car can wait. The more users that are here, the more the word of bitcoin is spread. The more that sign up, the more the forums make in profit. The forums are making a killing in profit, pay to upgrade them.

Static stuff is loaded instantly, the site is db bound.

It may have something to do with the fact that Moot accepts Bitcoins for his 4chan Pass and says so under every post form. Thus millions of people see the word Bitcoin everytime they write a post on 4chan. CES is nothing compared to that.
It's been that way for a while now. Admin should be able to inform where traffic is coming from.
well how to fix that?

The traffic will probably go back down soon. If not, I'll find a solution.

It's not much better (if any better) than the best open-source solutions. And I trust open source software more. If Apache does become the bottleneck at some point, I'd probably switch to nginx.

you're quote seems a bit messed up. someone elses text my name quoting it? whatever though
1M4yNbSCwSMFLF9BaLqzoo2to1WHtZrPke is the forums right? $74,789 USD
don't tell me it's acceptable to just hope that site traffic goes down so it is not slow anymore
what are we going to do when another wordpress type announcement happens? just not have a loading forum any longer?
a second server dedicated to mysql could be had for what? a couple hundred a month tops?
i get trusting open source software more but you can't claim it's not much better then open source in some cases.

I believe that the bottleneck is the database, not the web server.
If it's just the database, you could always move to a MySQL cluster set up. Dedicated web server upfront (I like nginx and no license needed, still better than apache) and then the cluster sits behind and databases away.
How bottlenecked is the database? I only see it slow when slashdotting or something like this happens.

if that's the case
is it mysql or something similar?
run it on a second server connected to the first over the local network of the datacenter
and use ssd drives on the database server
