Re: I think we found our limit ..

I think blocking guests is a very BAD idea. This forum was made for FIRST teams but is still a resource for people interested in robotics. If they're just looking for a quick answer from a question that's already been asked, why force them to register? People looking for a quick answer aren't probably going to want to register (or even be able to find the answer they're looking for). I personally don't think people should be obligated to give anything back. It's nice if they do, but if they don't want to, they shouldn't be forced into it. Also, last time I checked, Googlebot wasn't a registered ChiefDelphi Forums member, and CD has a pretty high pagerank. Knocking off all unregistered users is going to hurt CD's popularity. They won't be able to find any threads on search engines, and even if they did, they'd have to register to view it.

Also, this was just a big traffic spike, it's not like it's absolutely necessary to upgrade hardware since it seems 300 users aren't usually on this board.
