General discussion

I wanted to see if anyone that runs Drupal in a reasonably active environment has the same concerns I do. It seems to me that Drupal inherently is a resource drain (trying not to offend anyone) but it is a beast. With every module you enable comes a plethora of new database activity.

Due to the application module each module you enable is loaded on the index page which is used for everything:

Website Hits:
1,000,000 per month
33,333 per day
1388 per hour

Database Activity:
150 queries (just a single hit to the homepage)

Good evening ladys and gentleman! I'm Kayz all the way from the UK here, this site was highly recommended to me by an online friend. I am looking to run my own blogging service where people are able to signup and create their blog. I have scoured the Drupal Site and could not find it anywhere on here about Blogging, would somebody kindly direct me in the right path?

Many Thanks!

One of my projects (that I took over from someone else) has its URL in the form of
http://drupal.org/project/delicious but all of my other projects are simple node URLs. There's a field in the project that claims to create an alias, and on the version of the project module I run privately that actually works, but on drupal.org it doesn't seem to be creating that alias.

Is this a bug or was it disabled intentionally?

If i have some units of information to store.
For example lets take games. Imagine, that we have 1000 game information.
Now i want to be able to search them by Genre, Size, Cost, Title and maybe more classifications. So the data has to be stored through flexinode by adding required classifications ? If so, then how to search ?
For example of what i mean see these 2 links of advanced searching for games:
http://www.mpogd.com/games/advanced.asp

I didn't know where posting this..but if i search ?q=system/files (or something like this with ?q=), the search module searches the page /search/node/?q=etc..
Search.module bug?

Recently I heavily documented myself configuring a Drupal site AFTER installation. Unfortunately one of the hardest parts about creating Drupal sites is how to actually setup all the modules, pages, themes, etc. so that they work in a way that makes sense for your site's goals and functional/aesthetic needs.

Specifically I was aiming to configure Drupal for Media (image, audio, video, playlist). Is such documentation useful? Where should I put it on Drupal.org?
