Time To Close The Doors

[Nightwolf]

I hate to say it, but I think it's time to make this board completely 'Members Only'. Either that or limit the number of guests that can sign-on at the same time. I'm getting tired of typing a message, then not being able to post it because the server is overloaded.

[Curley]

I have to agree with you..... if thats the reason behind the error messages.

[pyromonkey]

i'm getting tired of not being able to access the board!

[zolaisugly]

while it may be annoying to get this error msg i would like to say that i to agree with you on this point.

however i feel that this may hinder the progress of this board to grow as new people may not wish to join so as to get any help needed.

it may be while getting there questions answerd in such a way that may indeed attract newer ones to join and help this forum grow and continue to grow,and support a very helpful board.

i for one would not have joined if i were forced to sign up 1st then get any help.

I have said it before and will say it again.

We would have no problems with the forum.Hell Paul would not even need them damn Pop-Ups on his site if we would alowe some advertising.

I do not see nothing wrong with advertising for programs that we all use anyway.But since alot of people on here beleive everything in life should be free we will never go that way.Maybe one day some of us will change.....but I doubt it.

Is bandwidth the issue? The board was down the other day because of the new bookworld.

[Nightwolf]

I have to agree with FC. Bandwidth costs money, and since most of the people here (myself included) aren't likely to donate anytime soon, I guess ads are the only way to go. Just so long as they use 'on the page' banner ads, not pop-ups. I hate pop-ups! There's nothing more annoying than loading a web page and trying to click on something or type in a text box just as a new window pops up and interrupts you.

[Skillian]

If bandwidth/money is the issue, then go ahead with the banner ads. I wouldn't mind in the slightest. Cutting guests out of the forum seems a little harsh.

[J'Pol]

It's fine. Leave it as it is.

Let's not be h4r5h to new chaps. We were all new at one time. We want the board to grow with the right sort.

Unless of course they are obviously posting to rabble rouse or draw flame. Then hit them with the full force of the law and send for



and she can spam the living daylights out of them.
