I don't get how with 6 figures monthly revenue, and their own hosting company, why GFY can't manage to do the same...

Figure the scale of GFY. There are plenty of companies out there running bots 24 hours a day, probably every few minutes, looking for threads with things like "I need a host" or "spam me with feeds" so they can jump in an autopost bullshit.
There are also bots out there whacking at the DB looking for new threads so they can post "sig post" and "fifty pissed off webmasters" at the right point to secure sig space.
Then there is apparently a large number of extremely paranoid program owners and invidivuals who feed the need to search for their names 100 times per day to make sure we didn't say they are caners or that their program sucks donkey dicks or that they are legendary liars.
Your site ain't got nothing on what the GFY search is suffering through.
That and sometimes I think this board is run on massively out of date software, operating systems, and servers.
