Report Anything Unusual Here [part 3]

**Rat Faced** · 11-29-2003, 08:00 PM

The spam thread was the biggest problem.

I was going to close the 3 word story thread etc as well, but wished to break them in gently.....

We will be closing these threads as and when we start having the problems again.

Apparently when someone reads a thread, the entire thread is loaded, not just the page they are looking at.... so 10 people reading the spam thread at same time; as an example took up all the server resources, with the resultant speed issues and crashes.
