RMRK
RMRK Was started in Late 2002 by Crankeye.
Hardware
RMRK Currently runs on its own Virtual Private Server:
- 30GB Partition
- 768MB dedicated, up to 2GB burstable RAM
- Latest CentOS stable release
- 5Mb/s dedicated, up to 100Mb/s burstable connection
- Latest stable releases of mySQL and PHP, currently mySQL 5.0.51 and PHP 5.2.5
- We make use of eAccelerator to cache and serve compiled pages which makes for a great speed boost thanks to the entire site being served dynamically.
- Latest recently released versions of WHM/CPanel 11 (which now FINALLY supports Apache 2!), though we still currently run on Apache 1.3.39.
This currently handles RMRK and all the other sites on the server just fine, with plenty of headroom. Average page loads per day are usually in the 30 to 40 thousand range. Our mySQL database is approaching 350mb, and receives an average of 15 queries per second.

A.K.A. "The Light Theme" - Used to be the forum default, though has now been superseded by RMRK2 - DARK. It is a simple edit of an SMF theme named ORANGE-LT; originally just orange bits re-coloured purple, though over time has accumulated more and more changes.
