I do remember Myspace, I was using it at the time. What they did was completely overhaul the layout though in one fell swoop. The changes made it much more difficult to use. Youtube would probably have a similar outcome now but it's so huge, and it caters for the users ego so well. It's also ran behind the Google worldwide engine so it could probably never suffer the same fate.
You mean like time line?

I've been looking for a host that gives me a great deal and some space to grow but I can't figure that out without knowing what are the forum requirements.
I'm planning on running the forum with all the availiable add-ons (gallery, blog, etc) and possibly a couple of simple webpages (I might buy IP Content for this).
This is all I could find. I would like to know around how much RAM and CPU would I need to smoothly run a medium size community.
I currently have in mind a VPS with 1.1Ghzs 768 RAM 30GB Disk Space & 500GB Bandwidth.

You need to ensure your VPS has enough memory to handle spikes in traffic and is tuned well. Also keep in mind what else may be running on your machine (Firewall, Potentionally a mail server etc). A server gobbling up swap is usually a sign as well that your to lean on memory, and on linux you run out of ram and swap = kernel panic, it doesn't expand it like Windows can

All of our servers have more than 2GB of RAM, so no, a provider that offers shared hosting with 2GB+ RAM does not cost $90. Unless you're starting to talk about VPS or dedicated servers.
My desktop has 24GB of RAM in it. This is 2012. Having a few GB in your server is not uncommon at all (in fact, it is rather uncommon for servers to have less than 2GB total, although with VPS setups you can allocate smaller amounts per account).

I can agree, none of the servers at work have less than 24 GB in them and our new deployment is 32 (64 for Database)
