Edit Question
Title
Body
I know this question has been asked here a couple of times, but none of the answers had pleased me. This is because almost all of them involve a huge read / write process related with the database, which I'd like to avoid at all cost. About unread discussions / topics / posts, there's a lot to think of. I don't know how do forum systems like MyBB , vBulletin , Invision Power Board , Vanilla , phpBB , etc., cope with that issue, so I'd like to read from you guys your experience with that. I know that using a database table just for that is the simplest way, but that would involve a huge read / write when the community has over 10,000 members and 1000 new topics every month. It's hard, but there should be a way to avoid the server's overloading. So, what do you find as the best practices for this issue, as well as how other forum systems cope with it?
