As [you can see here](https://www.daniweb.com/stats/members?country=&filter=&sort=timestamp), we get lots of new members signing up every day, but nearly no one posts. This has been true for decades and decades now. Anyone care to hypothesize why all these people sign up if not to contribute? #Lurker

So I've seen two (possibly more) threads that end with the phrase "let's discuss" and an exclamation mark of over-enthusiasm (which is ironic, since it's low post count drive-by accounts posting this stuff). The preambles are well written, but meaningless pith. It's such an odd way of closing out a …

Following up on [this topic](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/543151/show-computer-name-on-a-label) it seems as if Mr.M has been having trouble with Chrome crashing whenever he tries to type in our editor (which we just upgraded a week or two ago). > @Dani this happens when I type a longer message than it froze and crash.

I modified our database library today to not connect to the database unless required. Previously, it automatically connected on every page. However, especially on pages that just pull from the cache, database connections aren’t necessary. Hopefully this should provide some incremental performance improvements. In the meantime, please keep an eye …

I think this is more of a concern to Dani and I'm not writing this is a bug. Just interesting.

DaniWeb will be switching to new servers later today, and there is planned downtime of a couple of hours. Unfortunately, I don't have an easy way of putting the site into read-only mode. What will most likely happen is that we might lose a few hours of database content.

DaniWeb Premium is currently $5 per month. You can find details about everything it gives you [here](https://www.daniweb.com/donate/index) Do you think this is too high a price point? At what price point would you be willing to pay? What if it were $1.99? What if it were $3?
