I was thinking more along the lines of a quad-turbocharged W16 developing 1001 hp. This site is *blisteringly quick* :shock: . Fantastic job, Matt!

Thanks VCA, and everyone else. It's enormously rewarding to build the server from scratch (software). I know 5x more than I did before this undertaking. As the site continues its march toward more users and more info, I'll need to keep up(!) and this experience is invaluable to that.

A big thanks to our mods Ozark Lee, vegasjetskier, MadeInJapan, billofdurham. Without them I don't think it would matter if the site ran fast or slow, because there would be less structure and far less questions answered.

Also, thanks to the handful of users who have offered their Linux administration and forum administration help. Soon we'll have a another mod coming onboard who has extensive forum admin skills which will provide a forum-admin-specific sounding board for me.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!
