Random Write Performance: Very good; again, best if using a larger stripe size and a controller supporting independent writes.
Sequential Read Performance: Very good to excellent.
Sequential Write Performance: Very good\"
http://www.overclockercafe.com/Articles/RAID/ \"RAID 0 is the performance side of the house. RAID 0 or \"striping\" uses two drives in conjunction with one other for speed. Data is divided when it is written to both drives so that the workload is balanced and thus more efficient.\"
(By the way, if the color blue is an option and the font size large is an option, then don't change my posts because none of you have the skills or the ability to change what options are allowed. I could very easily help you with your programming, but it appears that you can't even configure the server. :))
Anyway, bottom line is that you're very uneducated about RAID 0. If you think 2 articles, (1 of which you totally misunderstood), is the basis for believing that RAID 0 offers no performance, then you are the one that is ignorant. I've totally backed up everything I've said. Try to get your foot out of your mouth before you speak next time.

I think KoolDrew might have changed your posts on the second page because blue is a bit hard to read. Anyways, we don't have access to any of the source code, so we wouldn't be able to edit out specific code anyways, but we can just disable BBCode all together, and that would mean no bold, italics, color, size, etc. for you.

I (also?) changed the color of your posts (not the size, just the color), however you were informed by PM.

It's not a matter of modding the ipb files to remove blue and/or large font sizes, it's a matter of using such features responsibly, and taking the fact that other people are going to have to read it into consideration.
And editing your posts has nothing to do with anyones skills or abilitys to mod ipb files. Sure, you could easily help with our \"programming\", but then again we could easily just mod the ipb files, use very little programming to do it, without any help. Configuring the \"Server\" has nothing to do with IPB.. the server of which this board is located upon cannot be controlled by anyone of this board, so it appears you can't even configure the server either.. Unless of course you're talking about wether we have enough knowledge to configure a server.. and I'm pretty sure I do, as I only ran a web and smtp server for almost a year.
Anyways, let's calm it down before anything breaks out.
First of all, I have to give 4 sites permission to use Script in order to even post. That is a bit ridiculous, but it is understandable on a rented forum.
Second of all, my color preferences SHOULD NOT affect any other visitor. We log in and data is being stored, thus there is no excuse whatsoever that preferences can't be saved. My preferences affecting everyone else is a mistake on the programmer's behalf, whether the program is being rented or is controllable.
Third, I have been in charge of my server for about the same amount of time. How is it that I see these things as a problem, yet you are just realizing it as an issue? If it is an option to use the color, why complain when someone does? It certainly doesn't hurt my eyes, and I'm on the computer all day long.
I don't have it configured as a forum, but I do have a database, a feedback form, and an auto-generated e-mail response, all of which I configured myself, including protection from SQL Injection and other stupid hacking tricks. String manipulation is rather easy. HTML is rather easy. JavaScript is rather easy. Database use is rather easy. Why then are you having troubles?
If you really are able to control the database part of the forum, then you should be able to throw in your own JavaScript to save user preferences in color without affecting any other poster. All you would have to do is disable the other program that handles posts and develop your own to save color preferences as a user preference within the database. It would only have to display that way for 1 person, so an added field to the database could easily decide if the color embedded in the database entry would actually be used or not.
If you really do possess the knowledge to change this, it would obviously resolve any future problems that came about because of it.
Dude, stop now before you really embarrass yourself even more. I have worked with these forums for more than you ever will. I know what is possible and what is not. We could easily remove the color options or BBCode altogether. You have no idea what you're talking about.
And about these 'troubles' and 'problems' of which you speak: as someone mentioned before, we do not have complete control over the forums. It is a free hosting service provided by Invisionfree. They feel as if we had ftp, database, etc. access it would be a security risk(which I should mention, it is).
Now, go back over to your website, create your own forums, and post blue there. Not here.

Huh?

Well they do. Just as they would to anyone else with relatively normal eyes, it's not easy to read large blue text on a grey/black background.

It's not a problem as such. It's more of an annoyance. Just because you have been in charge of a server for a year, doesnt mean you know about accessability.

Wow, Protection from SQL injection. Basic PHP Sql injection prevention can be done in 4 lines.. your point? Nobodys having trouble.. but if you want to get braggy about web skills, go create your own forum software using php, css, mysql and xhtml just like I did.
The point is, we do have the knowledge to prevent color in posts, but doing that will render highlighting useless, meaning some posts will be affected. You wouldn't ban all cars because one person broke the speed limit, or because a driver ran over a kid. Hopefully the poster should be responsibile for writing there own posts, and knowing what colors are reasonable to use. Otherwise they might find themselves being totally ignored, as noone wants to spend the time figuring out what the posts say. Sure, you can read it fine... but what about other people? Anyways, It's your choice what style you write in, let's just hope you choose responsibly.

That is your problem right there; you don't know how to read my posts. I said in typical desktop applications RAID-0 offers very little to no benefit. This includes gaming. I never said that RAID-0 offered no advantages in all situations. It also significantly reduces reliability making it even farther from worth it.
Anybody who argues this is just plain wrong. That is the bottom line.

What do you mean by rented forum? We own this forum, we created it. Sure we don't have to pay for the forum software, but I am personally paying for the domain, and unlike you, we don't have jobs (as 14 year olds), so I have to pay this out of my own pocket. I doubt you could have afforded even a computer when you were my age. Of course, I forgot, when you were my age, they didn't have computers....
Second, I think your ego is carrying you a bit high. I doubt you could ever create forum software such as the one used by InvisionFree. So, stop showing such a condescending attitude.

And what does that prove?

Once again, you use the word \"rented\", yet you provide no valid context for which to use it in. And posting blue on a dark skinned forum will hurt your eyes. Does not take a genius to figure that out. But since you can't, I guess you're not a genius like you believe you are?

Once again, that has nothing to do with RAID0, nor this forum. We can install auto-emailers and my host supports creation of feedback forms. So, everything is easy for you? Yet you don't have the common sense to see that blue on black does not mix. And you have a horrible aestetic sense. Otherwise, you wouldn't place blue on yellow on your website. So much of a guru, eh Shane? :rolleyes:
To add to that, you have repeated the fact that you built it all yourself about 5 times already. Sorry, but unlike you, we can understand people after they post a certain message once.

We have certain control over the database, but not fully because we do not have access to the Index or Admin PHP files. But, there are quite a few Javascript codes available, and we are using a lot of them on this board as well. So, we don't need any of your suggestions, unless you have any that are constructive, rather than destructive.

And you obviously have no knowledge of which colors mix well with which. Otherwise, your so-called guru website wouldn't be so ugly.
I rest my case.

Haha. lol. That's gotta hurt, Blue.
Agreed, lol. :P
And Blue, your text is very, very hard to read and it hurts my eyes. <_<
