Time to ban guests

[bluegirl74]

On nights when there are big games or announcements can we ban guests as they clog up the server .....

I would be in favour of this.

650 members 1796 guests !

About 1600 of them left when Reid scored the 3rd

The guests are all crying Manure fans....

No that can't be right, it would be 650m guests.

 

[City Raider]

Yeah, frustrating

Not sure it'd make much difference tbh. Most guests are probably members that haven't logged in.

If they're forced to log-in to browse the forum, the likelihood is they'll simply log in (thereby putting exactly the same load on the server).

Should be quiet tonight as the rag softarses got beat.....more traffic when we lose and they win.....twats they are.

Yep it is ridiculous that you can't get on Blue moon due to all the sad bitter rags and bin dippers coming on whenever we lose.

I suspect the guests increase the ad revenue though?

Agree ! It's fucking irritating not being able to get on at key times

its got that bad i never come on bluemoon anymore if we are away,just cant log on etc, i suggested this years ago but it was never looked into

the only way to do this would be disable registration (on those days.) and make the forum visible to members. Wont stop those already registered posting.

Some boards have the function to stop new members posting until like a certain time limit has passed, like starting a new thread until they have posted to a set limit. Unsure if this software has that option.
