So like, since when do you have to be logged in to view the forums?

[Solkern]

I said the same thing, wtf did it come from

[Latrinsorm]

We don't have enough bandwidth (or whatever) to allow guests and members to view so Harmnone pwnd guests.

[Kitsun]

So whats Plan B when all the guests signup to view? heh.

[Bobmuhthol]

.....?

If there's not enough bandwidth then someone is doing something incredibly wrong.

[Solkern]

better start dishing out more money for a bigger bandwidth

[Skirmisher]

It's not a bandwidth issue.

It is being tried to help other issues until hopefully Kranar can resolve them permanently.

[Solkern]

QUick question, how many posts do you need for a custom ranking?

[Kitsun]

They gave up on the post count for custom ranking deal after people turned into post whores for 'em.

Wait for Kranar to need donations via paypal and thats a way to do it.

[Solkern]

bah I want a custom ranking, but i aint paying for one.

I've been on this Forums forever, I should get one for free

[Skirmisher]

No payment is involved.

I thought we were still using the 3k or so benchmark, but am not sure.

Best bet is to U2U Harmnone and ask her as she is the head cheese regarding such things.

[Solkern]

Ok thanks man, i'll u2u her asap

[Gan]

3k was the number I was familiar with. The alternative was offered as a thank you for donating to the PC.

[HarmNone]

3000 posts is still the requirement for a unique title.

Kranar is away at the moment, and will be for the next week, or so. I've eliminated the ability for guests to view the boards. I'm hoping this will help some. We'll have to see if it does.

Kranar hadn't left yet, so he followed up with this:

I just got note of this problem.

I unfortunately have no time to fix it for another week or two, so until then the forums will likely be restricted to only viewers who are logged in.

When I get back I will see what is causing the problem.
