Long three years Forum Road

If you want to make a person happy, you let him do the forum, if you want to let a person depressed, or let him do the forum.

After three years of construction of the forum, and look back today, unexpectedly some of the past. If it was ambition, today is a sigh of regret. Three years, more than 1000 days and nights, the cycle of time, different. In fact, everything has changed, in fact, nothing has changed, but only their own mentality.

First, the Origin

I was a 01 college graduate with a counterpart assigned to the information Department of this state-owned enterprise. Fortunately, the state-owned enterprise has just begun an ERP pilot. The backbone of the network, looking at a variety of new servers, routers a platform of the code stack, the heart for a while the impulse, there is mis, OA, there is a web. In fact, I was engaged in OA, the web is not familiar with, do not tell me what Apache, I do not even know what IIS is. In half a year after the trial run, the on-line OA and MIS system have passed the acceptance, only the Web site did not pass, so the boss asked us to solve the problem within one months. At that time a head big Ah, three people: I was learning electrical automation, one is to learn programming, and another little girl is to learn electronic technology transferred over, who see who do not know, so everyone on the K book, solidly made half a month. A simple can not be a simple HTML site on the rise, because the requirements of the Web site must have at the time of production data, at that time no one knows to tune the database, the results of three ghosts in turn manual record, one day Bedo production data A record will spend a half-day, really crazy dizzy ah. This kind of struggle for half a month really everyone can not stand, so around to ask, finally find a master in the system, help write a very simple ASP system today, but did solve our big problem, at that time three ghost happy sent two Chinese ~ ~ ~ OH

At the beginning of 02, the chat room in the system network was relatively hot, at the beginning is a brother unit for technical exchange built a, slowly do not know how to be passed out, so is not to engage in technology does not know, anyway, a go inside is flirting, think also, when the System wide area network, in addition to office sites, Nothing else, the existence is the truth ah, so follow the leap of what the Web site has, rivers and lakes, chat rooms, message board, exactly the system there is no BBS, but there is a call BBS1000 things, more like walls. However, these sites are all units of the information center of the people, but also hang on the unit website, personal sites are very few, there are about three or four.

02 After the year, in the system network in a more famous chat room to recognize a lake graduate of the ghost, here call him Ghost X bar. Ghost X is not the first to build a personal site, but he brought us something that looked very fresh at the time: the site source code. He then got a download station, with the scholar download extremely original version, but already than we do HTML high N class. So I went around to find he said the source code, was not used to search, after not knowing how to find the aspsky.net, the result of my forum career on such a chaotic start ~ ~ ~

Second, dynamic network

I don't know, there are a few. Now remember what it looked like in the early 02, at that time the version I also remember not clear, is probably 5 version, anyway very simple, because at that time the dynamic network is not known, at that time the forum system is Rei (frankly I do not know at that time). So down a, as a unit site of the message board. This is also the March 02 thing.

At first few people registered, on the department and units on several young people in the text chat, paste some funny small pictures (now called irrigation), at that time, the domestic dvdrip began to rise, accurate speaking is not pure DVDRip, because it is not today the standard document + subtitles, and a 1, 2GB large video files, inside already have Chinese subtitles, it is estimated that the earliest DVD compression, anyway, by the time of the VCD clearly more, so nothing went down some throw into the jar, the results do not know how quickly spread out, it is estimated that the chat room you a sentence of my ad out. Slowly the forum has a group of people, more than a few sections, and soon the forum scale to more than 1000 people, the average online also has more than 100 people, even if it is not easy to see today, because it is a pure internal website.

The scale of a large, the plate opened much more, in fact, did not how to manage the problem, to all of the guests, Hello, irrigation, at that time are simple, a lot of chat to two hundred or three hundred pages, the whole of a chat room. Slowly chat more, people are ripe. To today I think the biggest advantage of doing the forum is that you can get to know a lot of people, meet a lot of friends, these friends seem to be a common netizen, but their behind the network often have huge energy.

By the time of 03 years and 67 months, the short happy Hour was over, a virus program called Nimda began to go crazy in various units, no one has to think about how to pass into the intranet, anyway, the virus to the machine card dead, server down machine, two months, and so on, and so on solution one out, has been dying. Because the server hard drive the whole is tossing, so the forum data all lost, do not know what is the case, the results did not back up, so this only half a year life of the Forum became a short-lived. At that time gave me the blow is very large, and then develop a habit, daily backup, one months carved a plate.

Third, Rei

In fact, such as Rei text forum, I am not too fond of, is mainly the backup packaging when really depressed, tens of thousands of posts have tens of thousands of documents, at that time to use up also no other, heard a bit more powerful. In fact, it took me half a month to configure because I do not know how to match with CGI in IIS, the results of a long time to do a good job, the forum of People although the original group of people, but the post did not, the vitality of a big injury, some of the time in my altar, now in the Tianya are very famous writers gone, Some play technology master gone, a group of fans away, the rest is the usual chat. At that time I made a wrong decision, too early for the forum type, do film and television downloads. At that time seems not wrong, because the movie download very can keep people, in fact, I found that is not able to keep people, with this very high cost (squeeze bandwidth, space) but only bring temporary flow, is tantamount to drinking dove thirst. The crowd is up, but the popularity is gone, feel the forum became an empty skeleton, the original flirt did not, the original small family Lady No, the original outmanoeuvred no, the rest, or to see the post, or to send a few words, OK, good, 123434,AFGDBDSJ and so on to get a movie download address of the bad post.

With the Rei day is my most depressed, is also used the longest, from September 02 has been used to April 03, and then changed quickly. With Rei day I met a group of today's more famous technical figures, Roy2,bigjim,ken etc, they were doing lb hack, my forum also help them or use their test a lot of plug-ins, but Rei is doomed to decline, CGI although the function is very strong, but the disease more.

It's been a long time since I've been in a crowd, and I feel like I'm tired, so want to find a chance to stop, the results really have a chance to stop, I found that I did wrong, stop for a month or two, and destroyed data from the beginning again no difference, although the popularity is not good, at least the crowd, this kind of stopped for a month or two, Not even a crowd.

Third, Fastboard VS IPB to be honest

In the days when there were no crowds in Rei, the forum has accumulated a lot of posts, about about 200,000 posts, increasingly large and complex forum files and more and more slow speed to let me headache, fortunately that time for me to choose the Forum program has a lot of, VBB,IPB,PHPBB began to look up, with a lot of people, There was also a famous fastboard at that time. Meet Fastboard is because I was in the Garden of Eden Forum (ydy88.com) when the moderator, with the Fastboard, it's speed really let me satisfied, the results later found to collect rice, very depressed. and Fastboard customer service is really not good, because looking for half a day to find a dead also do not know how to pay, and how the data conversion. So Fastboard and I pass, to this day, I also admit that Fastboard is one of the best forum procedures I have ever seen, and if he does better with encryption and authorization, it probably won't be harmed by the D version of the country.
