I don’t see that there is a problem with the site really.  I’m happy with it the way that it is and the speed is fine.  Mines WinME and whilst I haven’t thrown a PC together myself, I think anyone could throw one together if they knew how simple it was.  It is really not that difficult.  :)    I have updated this myself the last few months and installed several cards, had the whole thing in pieces doing so.  Geeks in training...hehehehe. I don’t really see the point in updating above what you need though.  I mean this could probably be faster...but I really can’t think why I would need it to be faster than it is right now.   All I do is email on here and visiting boards like this.  Since this site is geared to a smaller audience than what you administrate (I mean let’s face it is not suddenly going to be hit by 90’000 people suddenly diagnosed with this condition is it?  So what would be the point it being faster or tweaked?  You NEED oomph when you are having 90’000 hits or whatever... you don’t when there are as many hitting this site.)  

Also for what it is worth I was always impressed by this BB format actually.  When I made my own BB I couldn’t find a BB like it and the next best to it was the WebBBS format.  I’ve never found a BB board that was any better.  Perhaps it is just all a matter of personal taste and if this is the case, your never going to please ALL the people ALL the time.  But then who would want to visit the same format BB’s all the time.  Nice to have a little variety in life don’t ya think?
