    More and more MU discussion on this forum, not? Better direct MU users here?
    http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/

    I agree with you, but now that the line is a bit, (more), blurred with version 3 of wp, maybe a forum should be created here for beta MU version 3.

    But, as my particular question is not really Beta related, maybe I should start a new topic there or it should be moved.

    I already have a dedicated server with a fair amount of memory, (admittedly it is running a bit high at the moment).
    but I would hate to migrate 14000 blogs only to find that I need a much beefier machine than the one I am using already.

    And given that I am planning to run a beta for 6 months or so I will effectively need to support 28000 blogs.

    Ideally there would be a way of working out what would be needed _ahead of time_.

    … It’s just good, server admin, sense.

    I understand what you are trying to say, but a good project manager, a good developer and a good server admin would want a ball park figure of how much hardware is needed ahead of time rather than simply trusting that mu.wordpress is running efficiently.
    That, to me would be what a good server admin does.

    Then you are going to need a powerful server with a lot of memory. Yes, it’s scalable (wordpress.com is running a version of MU IIRC) but it’ll need a hefty server.

    I am a little worried about that approach, throwing hardware at the problem might not be the best solution.
    I simply don’t know enough about MySQL to know if that is a better solution rather than the same tables with an extra Unique user ID row.

    Is it really practical to have +90000 tables on a MySQL database, (in my case)?
    Is that not a problem in itself?

    Do you, (or someone), know if there has been some kind of discussion about using that approach?
    I just want to re-assure myself that I will not kill my servers because of a bad design to start with.

    (PS – Don’t sign your posts. We can see who you are by looking to the left of your post 😉 )

    It feels a bit rude not to, I don’t know of any forum that advises _against_ signing your posts.

    Hum… I already have +14000 blogs, (with my current software I have one user/one blog).

    I want users to create a blog when they sign-up

    Always on: stick it in the mu-plugins folder. may not work for some plugins.

    Ah, I did not know that, thanks

    you can also edit it so the plugin’s options page is visible only to you, the super admin.

    Hum, what I was trying to say is that I would like some plugins available to the users, (harmless ones like twitter and google ads), while hiding/controlling others that are more ‘super-admin’ related.

    Might want to read up at http://wpmututorials.com

    Thanks, I’ll have a look at it.
