Reminds me of the mistake I made when I renamed Sublevel to Sub.Cafe. Paying for a premium domain isn't ideal. Also, scaling is an issue for media rich sites.

Darn gravity. Why did Isaac Newton have to invent it and ruin it for the rest of us?

Welcome back! This used to be known as Sublevel and then shut down for a while. It was brought back as Sublevel several months ago (I think it's been that long I'm losing track of time, lol)

@lucian How can this site (sublevel) be so fast. I mean < 50ms even for the 45 threads view? Just wow! Would love to see a technical write-up, stack, DB structure, caching etc. I really find the speed very impressive

found an old article about subreply (originally sublevel apparently): web.archive.org/we... - today's site looks far better than the archived sublevel.net
