1,000,000 pageviews in 2 weeks...! Why? Because Discourse. ๐Ÿš€

Well, I just keep it updated, and donโ€™t use a lot of plugins. The only two I use are discourse-affiliate (which unfortunately only does Amazon-links, and not even UK-ones) and retort. I do have the standard ones enabled.
Itโ€™s been relatively unproblematic, although I am thinking about storing images externally (S3 or Digital Ocean Object Storage).

As for financing, I run ads on the main site, not the forum. The reason for this is, that people can donate to have the ads removed, and I havenโ€™t worked out how to turn ads off for some users on the forum, so I left it ad-free for now. If I were just running a forum, Iโ€™d probably just throw some ads in there (though Iโ€™d like to be able to turn them off for some users).

Weโ€™ve scaled things up a bit to handle and done some performance-related tweaks and upgrades. Weโ€™re now on a High-Availability CPU (โ€˜High CPUโ€™) with 12GB / 8 CPUs.

How much bandwitdh do you need?

Not much - There arenโ€™t a lot of media on the forum :slight_smile:
