Thanks for everyone's patience through this process. It took nearly 2 days for the server to re-index all the post (nearly 2 million) during that time, I had to limit the servers processing power to the forum so it would not crash the server and have to start all over again
I know it's frustrating, believe me, I feel your pain. The server appears to be running smoother since the changes and search indexing is done.
Hopefully, you will notice the improvements, it appears that the last few posters have

Thanks again for all your comments and feedback and understanding, have a good weekend!
Growth is good

but sometimes growing pains sometime are not fun

Looks like we need to begin shopping for more servers
