here is the problem which we are having, as i have been told by the programmer. as you may know, we operate many sites, and our subscription feature is the problem, at all of the sites. so many people (many of which arent even active) subscribe to a section, then to a sub section, then to a post. so when someone goes to post a thread, and hits "ok", the server is trying to post that message and update the thread, as well as send out emails. we have a thread that is pretty long at MF, that had so many people subscribed to that section, and that thread, that everytime someone posted, it was sending out several thousand emails...this is what we believe is causing the lagging problem. because of this, the programmer is trying to basically remove all subscriptions. we found that there are people who are subscribed to every section, who have never posted, and who have not logged in for months...so the server is working to send out these emails every few seconds, as well as running the site.

So, we are working to upgrade the servers, as well as iron out the subscription feature, as well as any other unneeded items that lag down the servers...we are trying..honest.
