Fuck Wordpress

[admc]

Well it will take reworking wordpress from the Admin area. More like a switch that will allow an admin to set how the blog should be accessed. I will look into this to know which way will work. I don't know if a plugin can do it. I will tell you which one I think might work when I take a look at the code.
You gotta remember, most of the actions that happen on a wordpress site are read actions. Unless you are getting a lot of comments from users.

Anybody got movabletype adult blogs?

I'm still curious about the movabletype option, or any blogging system that makes fixed html pages.

I've been studying this question ever since walrus brought it up.

But, curiously, I'm not finding a lot of people complaining about wordpress mucking up or fucking up their server.

All I see is wordpress praise - this page posted over at the zoo about how wonderful wordpress is for operating high traffic magazine and video sites for example:

I was wondering if anybody here has any links to other people or pages talking about wordpress doing this, that is, crashing a server with a relatively low traffic porn blog?

On another note, wow, movable type templates appear to suck. No wonder it lost market share.

One of the comments on that post sums it up pretty well.

Unless you have the facility customise the code, Wordpress is probably the worst choice for a busy blog. Being open source make its routines available to every wanabe hacker on the planet.
If I ran Wordpress on our blog network we would need to triple the server capacity just to handle the crazy number of php calls.
I would rather let my server use its time working out the sponsor ad delivery instead of a bunch of dumb routines that do little more than decide what theme or plugins are installed.
Just look at the Wordpress default css and you will see where it’s all leading.

Those high traffic news sites aren't using an out-of-the-box installation of WP. A lot of code has been tossed/optimized. I have the feeling that a lot of coders who have sifted through WP's script pages in order to optimize it probably wish they had created their own platform instead. I don't want to make it sound like WP is shit. It's not. It's an excellent platform for the average user.
