We are currently using pmachine on our website and it has some limitations, and it is getting slower as we have more and more traffic. We are looking at other options to make our website run better.
Currently we have two different things going on. Using pmachine we post our news articles day by day. Our registered users can come and comment, discuss those after they logged in.
We also have a pmachine based forum system set up. It is basically a hack to the pmachine blogging system, with a smart template and it works as a forum. On the forums our registered members can freely create new topics and discuss it, forum style.
As our database is growing, the site seems to run slower. We would like to keep all this functionality, but with a faster system.
What are your guys' ideas about this? Is anyone running a big pmachine based site with thousands of entires and users? Can we stick with it, or should we switch to something else? If you think that we should switch, what do you recommend?
Thanks,
t

Yes.
Performance is fine. I don't have a lot of registered users on my personal site, but team.macnn.com has over 200. Geeklog can do what you want, you just have to set it up how you want it. It's quite flexible.

I look at their demo... it seems like that for the forums they are using phpBB. Is that correct? If so does it work with geeklogs registration system? Is that basically some hack?
Thank you,

The forums are actually the forum plugin for geeklog. It looks similar to phpBB, but it's completely integrated into geeklog.
