Rebecca Thorman What do you all think about co-habitation prior to marriage? Everyone I know seems to be moving in together or already living together, although I've always had the romantic notion that I would wait until engagement/marriage. Is that outdated now?

I'm not worried about Ty thinking ill of my opinion, but he's reacting without reading and blowing out of proportion things I'm saying. When I replied to try to explain that he'd misconstrued my point, he (ironically) replied saying that I wasn't getting his point. I don't think that re-explaining what I've already explained will somehow seduce Ty into considering other points of view or thinking critically about what is being said, so instead of arguing with a brick wall, I remove myself from the debate. That's all :)

Wanted to give you a quick update. Thank you again for all your wonderful comments. I did ultimately decide to move in with my boyfriend. I published a post on it this morning - http://bit.ly/9LiSsw - I read each and every one of your comments and took each to heart, and appreciated you taking the time to have such a smart dialogue!

Ed Preston Curious about how large a tech staff is required for an enterprise like brazen (understanding that every socnet undertaking will be different), and if you sometimes encounter performance bottlenecks due to growth or spikes in online activity.

Drupal already has configurable tools to handle scaling required for 90% of sites out there. We have to do custom work, mostly because of the other customizations we've done, but still use standard tools.

Site growth and higher sustained utilization present other development challenges, but you'll have to be specific about your concerns.

And I think that these days going with external hosting is a no-brainer, even sometimes a hosting service with specialized expertise in your CMS/framework could be worth it, because you farm out the scalability and traffic spike stuff to them.

Photis Patriotis: Second, I'm trying to build an architecture where servers can be added as needed instead of relying on only one server. DB is next.

Ed Preston I'd like to learn how Brazen is using Drupal, esp how much was built by existing modules and how much required custom programming.
