[buddypress-dev] Hi everyone!

[Andrea]

Yep, I agree completely Andy. :) BP actually adds hardly any overhead 
near as I can tell. There's plenty of MU-based sites out there of all 
sizes - including large ones that really don't have much issues with the 
database structure. Either way, there's still the same amount of data to 
sort through. It only become unwieldy in phpmyadmin, and there are other 
ways around that.

Um, hi! *waves* I'm andrea_r from the forums and from wpmututorials.com. 
I'm here to keep up to date and figure it all out so I can explain it to 
the masses and help build documentation. :)
