    It’s the servers that OzBargain is run on.

    • 1Kenobi on 27/12/2019 - 17:52

      Where are they hosted?

      • WoodYouLikeSomeCash on 27/12/2019 - 18:14

        Sydney.

        • 1Kenobi on 27/12/2019 - 20:06

            @1Kenobi: You can find it from this page:

            OzBargain is currently hosted on

            • Amazon S3 for thumbnail and uploaded files storage.
            • Binary Lane VPS in Sydney for the main site.

    Well probably several reasons.

    The biggest one is likely SMH is full of images, videos and other media. It also has a lot of ads (I wouldn't know with adblocker). Also likely has quite a bit more traffic.

    Basically the purpose of the two sites is vastly different and therefore they both have different things to display.

      Wait. Is both Scotty and OzBargain a Chicka?

        Its a Startrek reference, the negs I assume are from angered fans

    Lack of images and videos

    But aren't there more active people on reddit? This would use more system resources.

    • deme on 23/12/2019 - 15:52

      They have way more money and people too

    Censorship. Mods work hard on those here.

    You obviously did not visit OzBargain during the Black Friday weekend.

  • Zaxxon on 23/12/2019 - 20:06

    Because the architecture doesn't have an ouch of Microsoft software (or hardware, aka Azure).

    • TEER3X on 23/12/2019 - 20:10

      On a scale of 1 to 10, how much pain do you feel when using Microsoft software, with 1 being little to no pain at all and 10 being extreme pain?

      • Zaxxon on 23/12/2019 - 21:28

        it's a love hate relationship. Average it out it would probably be a 6. If I had my time again I would have been a Python, java, aws guy. Too late now.

        • TEER3X on 24/12/2019 - 13:37

          Never too late
