Max # of usergroups/userforums ?

[mindbuster]

Im starting another site, for this i this time purchase the owned license, the site is for a mmorpg forum which have alot of societies (clans), each socitety should have access to their own private forum that only society members can access (society=usergroup).

What is the limit on amount of usergroups and subforums in vB ?

In theory there isn't a limit. I think the limit is what the MySQL can store in its fields ..
Quite a few I think.

Atleast 32384 i guess then :D


Cool, thnx for answering.

I have never tested setting up and working with 250 or more usergroups. So that would be a nice test.

We currently have about 1000 groups (that get automatically downloaded from the CRM) and performance seems to get worse and worse. Currently we have about 7 sec response time. There seems to be a data structure in the database called usergroupcache in the datastore relation. It is about 14 mega bytes now and that gets loaded on every page request. Apparently just loading it from the db takes almost that long.

Is there any way around that, possibly not using the usergroupcache ?

memcache would most likely help, as the cache would be part of the datastore and be cached by the memcache daemon; aside from that, I can't think of anything major :X
