Hey gang, there's an option to turn on 'Subscriptions', which mean that people can be notified when a selected forum or area has a new posting (not what's posted, just that something has been posted.)
Should i enable this? It's handy if someone posts an RFI and isn't a frequent visitor, but potentially will slow down the site if it gets used a lot..

Well, since the server is working to serve pages (more and more as more people are using it), it's gonna be sending out emails as well when the forum gets updated, so it will slow it down. Hopefully not a mathematically significant amount tho.
