i'm not sure that the database handles older information gracefully

i tried to open some old threads and filter users in them, the queries took a long time and never resolved

thread zone became nearly completely unresponsive in this time and after closing those tabs, the website seemed fine again

this happened in the last 10 minutes or so, i would be very surprised if you didn’t see a sharp uptick in disc activity or cpu time somewhere in the logs

not a huge deal in terms of website usability but it may represent a scaling issue of some sort
