Default Anyone using Invision Power Board 3.0?

One of my sites is a message board powered by Invision Power Board version 2.3.6. IPS has recently released the 3.0 branch of its software and I'd like to upgrade (it's a hockey-related board and the season starts soon), but I've heard a great number of horror stories about it running badly on various hosts (and in fact I've experienced some issues as I help out on a similar site hosted by a different company), and I'd really rather not have Support bugging me to upgrade to a VPS simply because I installed newer software. (Don't get me wrong, I'd love to eventually have my site grow to the point where I need to move off of a reseller server and into a virtual or even dedicated solution, but I'd prefer for it to be organic rather than forced.)

So, long story short, I was wondering if anyone here has had any experiences with upgrading their IPB installation to 3.0. How is the performance compared to the 2.x branch? Do I need to be worried about poor response times or excessive server loads?

Hello,

I have made some research and it does not look like the software itself may be resource intensive for a shared Reseller server. Requirements are absolutely suitable for our servers. If you keep in mind the Acceptable Usage Policy, there should not be any problem with the Board upgrade.

Thank you for that, I appreciate it. I'll go through the upgrade as planned, though I'm still interested in hearing from other users if they have anything they'd like to share.
