Farewell

Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I announce that I cease all development and activity in the programming universe indefinitely. My career has reached the turning point I was not expecting for at least another year, leaving me highly off guard and without laid-out plans for this hobby's continuity. I have begun a 5-year residency program in Neurosurgery which is clearly not compatible, time-wise, with programming.

I gave in all my passion for developing, and you gave me back your loyalty and trust, even when I did not deserve that much. Now it is the time for payback. I release all my present and past work as Open Source software, in the hope some talented developer will continue maintaining and expanding my vision of a modern, sleek forum software. The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.

I hereby thank Euan, kawaii, andrewjs18, Ben, Matt, Omar G., effone, Eric J., Devilshakerz, Wildcard, JordanMussi and all the other team members I have had the opportunity to work with when I was a MyBB team member. I thank Tomm M, my mentor, who inspired me to pick up coding with his piece-of-art plugins. And finally, I thank all of you MyBBoost subscribers who have helped me getting through my toughest university years economically.

Yours sincerely, Filippo

Plugin causes massive spike in resources

This issue is marked as solved
Immediately after installing this plugin, entry processes and CPU usage surge and my site starts producing 503s. The site averages around 300 visitors at any given point in time (over the past 15 minutes) and has 400,000 images. Is this plugin querying all of the attachments or something? The plugin file itself isn't very lengthy -- is there a version with comprehensive notes? I'd really like to use this, especially because it lifts MyBB's native attachment limit per post from 25 to an unlimited number (I was hoping to go with 40 per post).

This happens before anyone actually uploads anything and occurs within 1 minute of installing it. I'm running PHP 5 and MyBB 1.8.17.

It shouldn’t. When I’m back I’m going ti do an audit, in the meantime please provide me a test URL.
