Yeah, time for a server upgrade.
Blocking guest access would be like biting yer nose off to spite your face.

The server obviously has problems with those sorts of numbers, 83% of which are guests.
Isn't it about time there was some sort of restriction so that members get priority over guests?
I'm sure a good many of the guests come back time and again, and find no need to register, if they could only see the topic headings they would be more inclined to join, or not come back, freeing up the server for members.
From the forum front page:

851 seems to be well below capacity so I assume it's a server, not guest issue.
Re: Time to restrict guests?
I've found the board to be really slow over the last couple of days.
When it goes that way I often don't bother, coz it's just a pain. I'm sure others are the same.

Re: Time to restrict guests?
I'm exactly the same.
Over the past two weeks I've had server too busy pages too many times to count and it frustrates me enough to close IE and open my Sudoku game. Aaaah... that's better.
Re: Time to restrict guests?
Growing pains ? I find the same problem then check out a few other sites ,then come back here . Question is how many new members give up and move on ?
