Topic: new punbb user

I'm looking to switch from vbulletin to punbb mostly because I'm moving from mysql to postgresql. I'm wondering if anyone can link me to their punbb install using postgresql. Also has anyone put a lot of graphics into their punbb layout? Would anyone be interested in a memcached module for punbb?

Thanks.

I honestly can't name one PostgreSQL install. I'm sure there are a few, but I don't know any by heart.

A memcache module would be very cool, but I just don't have the time. I've actually never tested memcache. Does it work well?

Memcache works great. It allows users to not have to focus all their energy into the db. For most pages you wouldn't even need to hit the DB at all if you have it done right. Also there is a module for PostgreSQL called PgMemcache. What it does is use triggers to speak to the cache to invalidate data when the row for that data has changed. Using that method we can make sure that the information in the cache is up to date.

You can find PgMemcache at http://people.freebsd.org/~seanc/pgmemcache/
