That being said, giving registered users priority over guests in high-load situations is not a bad idea, so long as there's a way on the denial page to log in. |
Re: I think we found our limit ..
A few thoughts....
Would tightening up the rules for signatures make a difference? Sig's are nice but unnecessary. Would banning SE spiders help. Your robots.txt already disallows quite a bit. How about banning by them by IP? Is there a way to detect user inactivity? I try not to, but I know I have left CD up and unattended. Is it possible to warn then sign-off inactive users? |

Re: I think we found our limit ..
I still want to buy a CD web forums T-shirt!
Merchandise on this Brandon! License it! Take a page outa the New Kids on the Block and Star Wars Handbook and make everything from action figures to lunch boxes! I know i'd buy them! --EDIT--- In response to Kyles post below... "I WANT MINE WITH THE NEW B Money D-TOWN ACTION NINJA ACCESORIES!!!" "No I WANT MINE WITH OPTIONAL SLASH WIG AND HAT!!!" |
Re: I think we found our limit ..
I can see it now,
Kids going to see Santa and asking for the new Brandon Martus action figures. You could get even more money by adding on extras like a computer station for the action figure to monitor CD from, and maybe a guitar for after work fun.. I know I would want a cool CD lunch box. :) |

Re: I think we found our limit ..
I think the CD crew is doing a great job with the service they already provide. I would like to thank Brandon for his tremendous amount of time that he dedicates to these forums and his quick notice of and reaction to this problem. I agree with the many people that have said that this occurance does not warrant an upgrade (although it would be nice) because we have hit that limit once (probably coming close a couple of other times) and it will only occur a few times a year. Merchandise would be cool, but I don't think that the number of consumers would warrant it. A lot of the people on this site would buy it when it first came out but then the sales would drop and probably be very low for a long time to come.
Thanks again Brandon! $.02 |

Remember, there are still quite a few teams who don't use ChiefDelphi, or who don't know about it. I don't want to sign up for a forum until I know it is worth it. Who knows--you could be getting spam! It is imperative that guests be able to view, so that they may judge for themselves the quality of the site and whether or not they wish to register. I instead go with the person who suggested CD shirts and/or donations: I'd definitely chip in money, especially if there were some CD shirts with great quotes. --Petey |

I don't think so-- I think we really just need to all pitch in some cash and buy Brandon a new server. FIRST is growing--it is logical that it's de facto online community would need to as well. --Petey |
Re: I think we found our limit ..
Start a buffer system. At 275 people start turning away guests saying we are reaching capacity, so log in. That allows for more users to log in if needed. Also, an automatic log-off system, where if you are viewing a page for a certain time, you'll be logged off (10 minutes), so someone else can get on.

Log off system could be bad. 10 min isn't long, and what if you are researching material to post? That would kind of suck. I trust in Martus. --Petey |

I WANT A CD SHIRT! I WOULD BY 7 OF THEM, ONE FOR EACH DAY OF THE WEEK

Re: I think we found our limit ..
I've always wondered what kind of performance increase the Zend Optimizer would have on a big system like vB3. Should be pretty impressive.
