dolphin scripts will fall apart

this is news i found on google i hope its not true cuz i love boonex :)

Crapy use of Database

We saw serveral other competing sites launched on boonex, but we did not care much. Why? Becouse when they reach 500-1000 daily visitors they will break apart. The reason for it is very bad programming and use of database.

For example, boonex uses profile builder which assigns fields to profiles. So the output of profile uses more than one table and is quite inefficient.
Also, there is a nice 20-30 query overhead on each page display to fetch all the configuration values from table. Silly, isn’t it ?

They would be FAR better of using a file for configuring sofware or caching it in php file like it is done in most of the systems.
Another simple problem. When boonex wants to display a profile being online it additionally check database for its status. But that data was pulled from database already. So 20 useless queries again.

they need to rewrite the script.

I saw this article 2 n wondering if it is true.

I don't know about actually falling apart, but sites that reach this size due start to show strain. Dolphin has legacy code (aeDating), but for the most part, it's due to the script not being properly optimized. Dolphin 8 is a new version which will be written from the ground-up and is not based on any legacy code like Dolphin 7 and all previous releases.

But it doesn't mean I'm hopeful.

Thanks Magnusoft!

Thats at least some news! I didnt know how far the dolphin would go before it weakened! But to have that many active online at one time, well that would have to be a national site, and all my sites are more local niches.

And now all we have to do is wait for D-8(cricket noise)LOL!

What a great post showing that people are bothered by the site itself and it is such a grand opportunity for Boonex to take a look at such criticism and evaluate the truth of it and then take the appropriate action to correct if real.......what more could you ask for than to have people who see a better idea and are st***** enough to post it so it can be seen as an issue but also offers a solution.........Hmmmm  In my world that is free consulting if correct.....
