ABA DSS - [vBulletin, PHP, HTACCESS] - This site is a very large forum dedicated to Free to Air Satellite Television. Working on this site has made me much more familiar with the vBulletin forum software and has made me learn how to deal with large amounts of traffic. The site will normally have anywhere from 300 to 3000 people on it and one time on a normal day, but during spikes we can reach much higher numbers. I have implemented many things that have made the site run better, including cache-control headers, decreasing the css file size, turning off ETags, decreasing MySQL queries with vB plugins and modifying plugins to make sure more things get cached (using Memcache). This is a great site that I am happy to have been apart of and has helped me learn a lot about larger sites.
