Error 500 (bandwidth issues), users moving to other forums

Does this still stand?

Yes it does.

(Just log out and you can see what Guests see ... o.o)

Well, I must say, that's the stupidest thing I've seen in a while.  Especially after this:

Hi. I will look into the server logs weekend. The problem isn't too much traffic, it had something to do with the forums and wordpress config. Kcmm uses less traffic than some of my other hosted sites

and, nothing quite drives away people like making them register to use a website.  Also, have a look at how many people are logged on now.  This is probably the least beneficial thing that could have been done for the problem.

We sure did lose a lot of people when the Gallery was the exact same way.

Oh, wait.

While I do agree that, if what Dant says is true (and I have my doubts about that), there's no reason to leave it this way; until we know for sure, we're leaving it. As far as I know.

[Miacis]

Yeah, we had that with the Gallery back in the days and we had no problems with that.

And if these people were not logged in, they would be Guests, so it doesn't change a whole lot, does it ?

[??_?]

So you're saying you prefer logging in to anything before being able to use it?  If you don't think people aren't going to like this, you're crazy.

If you look at all the members who joined there is 7 pages of people that joined today O.o

So you're saying you prefer logging in to anything before being able to use it?

You mean like you have to do for the vast majority of online services?

"Man, I wanna use Netflix, but signing up for it is just this huge time investment, it's such a hassle."

If you don't think people aren't going to like this, you're crazy.

What I think is that you're overexaggerating.

If you look at all the members who joined there is 7 pages of people that joined today O.o

Exactly, that minute or so it takes to register is such a huge deterrent.

[Miacis]

Well, actually, I'm startin to wonder if we get even any bandwidth economy at all ...

Hold on, we're discussing the issue between admins in private. .-.

Braw vault is the sh*t right now, that is why there are so many views.  This forum has climbed high to the top of the mountain, please dont slip down by moving.  I was a guest for around a year till i decided to register. Restricting guests is the same as restricting "underground-members". I understand you are doing this to solve errors(good luck) but it was as a guest as i was able to fall in love with your layout of a website in which others will not get to see for i dont know how long. Please consider finding a solution that will not restrict guests.

A few news :

- BV access has been restored for Guests. With the Stats page gone and its huge number of queries, I'm sure it's going to be okay. That way people won't register to look at BV, and thus have access to the Off-Topics again. .-.
Also because it will avoid them the trouble of registering and all that.

- With all the new users, we've also decided to cut the Users Online Threshold to 5 minutes, to make the list at the bottom of the index a bit more slender. 15 minutes was way too much anyways.

- We got a reply from Dantarion about our problems. All he's saying id that he's going to look into it. So I ask you all a bit of patience until it's cleared up. We did mention to him that the error 500 was the top priority problem.

[Infernape]

We will try....
that error is getting me mad! >:(

[IWasAPerson]

I just got 7 503 errors and 2 500 errors in a row trying to send someone a PM. Is this really bad or is this still the norm? And it seems like BrawlVault is taking a lot longer to load than usual, if it doesn't just flat-out refuse. The 500 errors were starting to get really bad for me months ago...

Thank god I don't hack as much as I used to, but thanks for updating us on the situation.

[Infernape]

I Think brawlvault can support to many hacks at a time!
and to much users....

Everyone's brawl vault sig is a X  box and when i click it, it takes me to a different site? I'm guessing you removed it?

Yes. But, that different site thing is weird --- I can only get it to happen with your sig.

EDIT: Seems you mislinked kc-mm as kcmm in your sig. I fixed it.
