Thanks to something called time zone,most of my time on ATRL doesn't suffer much from the OC messages.

That is another big thing. All the guests.

Would the site's ad revenue be hurt substantially by making the forums temporarily inaccessible to guest viewing?

Agreed. I'd go further and kill off 'Videos' for a bit, too. Blogs are user-only so they don't really have much of a server impact.

How would you know you're not an admin

They need to disable viewing of the board to guests... like, christ... there are 4x as many guests viewing as there are members. Why should we, the registered, participating members of the board have to suffer at the hands of the poor folks window shopping all up in this bitch?

At least restrict them to just viewing Music News or something... there's no reason why guests should be able to view The Lounge or any of those other sections.

Why bother suggesting though? It's quite obvious they haven't a damn clue what to do at this point, and it seems like they don't care.

The struggle of the server is real.

Mods,

Since AWOLNATION's "Sail" is starting to take off, can we re-open this thread so we can start discussing its chart updates here? Thanks!

You guys don't get it right? Killing sub-forums won't make a difference. There's too many people, like I said before this site needs more servers. Also I'm surprised no one has mentioned removing gifs.

I know this has been suggested before but would it be possible to temporarily not allow guests to view the site or is that out of the question?

The server is going great for me at the moment.
