Gamerender: Too Many Connections!

No, dont close registrations.. That would just be bad..

But the suggestion about registering before getting into the forums is a very good idea!

I have used Opera most of my time here at GR, but its really slow.. Firefox didnt manage to connect at all sometimes, but IE is actually not so slow!


OMFG! 'Too many connections'

 

Would help indeed, and it'd stop people leaching of some of the renders aswell so they'd have to register to view them etc ^_^

 

I will bring up the idea of forcing people to register in order to view certain aspects of the forums.

However we will not be closing registration.

 

Yea, closing registration is just stupid.
Forcing registration is good.
lets see what else...
make a super donator account, in which you pay 100 bucks ?

heh...ok fine we'd have like 1 person do that...maybe..

 

GR gets alot of hits from tutorial sties. If you force guests to register you'll just be losing members. Most people wont register just to view a tutorial.

 

GR isn't known for tutorials. It's known for renders. And if we have SO MANY MEMBERS now that the whole site freezes, it won't matter if some people from GT are too lazy to register to see a tutorial.

What's more important, the awsome GR members, or a bunch of leechers.

 

Well i know that is kinda annoying ... but we need to get use to it until the Admin do something if they can :S

 

Agreed xD

 

If its the server why not make another membership thats higher then 25 dollars to get some more donations. Dont think you'd do that but it would be a idea to consider.

 

What else could Shaggy possibly give with it?

50000 pms, delete own topics, delete others topics, lol.

 

I Agree Mirage.
but then again, i think we need to close registrations to GR theres alot of lag recently, and its hard to post

 

I agree with this 100%
I have a new server and i will talk to my partner and shaggy if he is interested in switching over to our new server
bought it two days agoo
and link in my sig

so eyah i agree with this

 

I don't think forcing people to register before reading the forum helps ... it's actually bad for the forum

my suggestion is ... having a seperate server for the Premium/Donator members

I am on a HUGH forum that does this ... this will encourage members to upgrade their membership and at the same time, people who upgraded will enjoy faster smoother surfing

I am not sure how this is done technically but members who signed-up gets on a sub domain which reads from the same SQL database I believe.

Will start a thread on this ...

 

i think that people shouldnt bee able to view any of the forums without rgerstering

 

I already suggested this many moons ago , any changes ?? no
