I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, the site is noticably quicker. Too bad Natter just got killed, or we could really stress-test it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I ran quick stats on the test site, and the main query that populates both the main page and the message centre now runs 80% faster.
More improvements as I think of them.

Right now, the threads are broken into three groups -- default (centre panel), admin, and tools/archives.
What is thought of the idea of adding a fourth group -- closed. This could clear up the main panel if threads are moved automatically on closing, and I think it would make a couple pages faster. There could be a separate page for closed threads. Which would still be in the read new rotation.
Or would that make things too confusing?

Does there have to be a separate page in order to gain the benefits of it? Or can it just sit at the bottom, aesthetically the same?

If they're displayed on the page, there is no gain.

In that case, I vote for new page and gain. And also, do we have policy for how long closed threads stay up before archival, or is it just until DX gets to do his thread-editing mojo?

There are two things that need to happen -- DX does his mojo, and I do some too. Except my mojo doesn't work with this version of MySQL, so there hasn't been any done since we moved in.
