No, it crashed under server load. Too many people able to stress the system at once. Remember, this all happened while VT was in charge, and the forum was much smaller. Back then, the table wasn't corrupt.yeah I totally agree, it's insane to be honest.
it "crashing" when put to 90 seconds is either the result of corrupted data ( unlikely, seeing as time between posts shouldn't influence crashes when it comes to corrupted data ) or really crappy
( and I mean REALLY crappy ) hardware which is also unlikely.
so the whole crashing story just strikes me as weird.
if you look at how fast computer systems process data, reducing the post limit from 120 to 90 would have no effect what-so-ever with such a small community.
same goes for the search function and the 1 minute limit, also totally useless.
this would be fine at 0, or 10 seconds just for the anti spammage if you want.
But yeah, this is all useless, cause it has been brought up atleast 3 times before and shot down each time.
oh well
Either way, it's set to 100 now, if it breaks, 120 will return. Bank on it.
