Eskimo North

Congrats on the new BB, I've always liked phpBB2.

Looking at your home page, why don't you institute:

Customer Testimonials
General Announcements
System outages
Equipment details
Eskimo History
Job oportunities

within the BB and link from the home page???

System Outages and General Announcements are both setup with Monarch and a Mailing List. It has worked for years so there is a good deal of history there. For those things the list and Monarch are really a better solution as any retrievals are retrieving static pages which require little CPU and are served fast.

The other things are relatively static and most efficiently served from a static page as well.

PHPBBS actually entails a fair amount ov overhead, especially relative to a static page, but that additional overhead is worthwhile to make dynamic content and interaction possible.

This new phpBB3 software caches and so reduces the overhead that Eric mentions considerably since dynamic content only needs to be generated once and then can be served from cache until such time as changes are made.

This software also includes link topics, and so I have placed link topics for Outages List and Announcements here that link to the web pages generated by MonArch. I'm working on writing the history. I'm somewhat hesitant to do the same for equipment details both because it changes frequently and the existing web pages and because the specifics can serve to aid hackers in designing attacks.
