[ivintheterrible]

ok well ive been giving input and and asking questions on here for a while. all of a sudden there has been a influx of guests on the site resulting in the error ?server is too busy, try agian later? well this is BS, there are 145 members on and 463 guests. give acess to the members, these people are not contributing, why do i have to wait 20 min for a 15 year old guest to log off to get on and help ppl an recive help? anybody with me? oh yeah your a guest sign up to say something. COME ON RIU STICK WITH ME !!!!

 

[stucklikechuck]

i am a newbie to this site and i have to agree that the "server too busy" msg is quite annoying!!!!

 

[DR growgood]

i hear ya your right nothin else pisses me off

 

[hothousemary]

lol prolly larger servers are called for more so than asking guest not to come in... although I have to admit that the busy server page fn pisses me off!! specially when I am in the middle of a discussion... either way I love riu and I believe in sharing..

 

[ivintheterrible]

im not trying to say fuck the guests, and i love RIU, but honestly since i posted this thread 1 hour ago i just got back on, im not trying to bash here but keep 50 member slots open, theres no reason 463 guests are on and i cant touch this website in 1 hour, yes they need larger servers but in the meantime let the members contributing get on or there will be blank posts w/o replies and vis-versa fuck as im posting this reply im getting server is too busy errors, sign up or fuck OFF

im not trying to say fuck the guests,

The title of the thread has the phrase " screw the guests " in it. You are right you aren't trying to say it, you said it.

Guests are people too. Guests are not pudding!

yeah your right and i stick by it, im just saying members who help members out and vis-versa cant get on because of a influx of guests, all i want is for the ppl contributing to the site to be able to get on and continue doing so

Website adspace value goes up as traffic goes up. Pay-per-click ads get clicked on more when traffic goes up. Websites with as much traffic as RIU get make great money. When server capacity is reached, the site owner(s) go out and pay for more bandwidth to handle the higher traffic, which in turn makes the site more money...

It will be taken care of I am sure. Nothing to be alarmed over.

 

[txhomegrown]

I was wondering why I kept getting that message. All I can say is come on guests, sign up and start growing.

 

[blackout]

You asked for my comments by posting this thread, you just cant expect everyone to jump on board and bitch with you. I am not going to PM you, I am just going to put it here so everyone can see. NORML has nothing to do with this site. But since you bring it up, how much have you contributed to this site to help defer costs of operation? You know, it kinda comes down to that saying that if you dont vote you cant bitch, same principal. Fortunately, I am very familiar with what is going on with the site. I run webservers and database servers everyday, and I am very aware of what it takes to keep these damn things running and sometimes shit happens, also you creating this frivolous thread bitching is doing nothing but taking up space on the server, thus costing more money. It takes money and time, and I would be willing to bet that the admin has a fulltime occupation and a personal life besides this board that he probably does not make a dime on. Luckilly in my position I am able to spend upwards of $20,000 on equipment to keep my servers from having significant downtime, which the amount I quoted is chump change in my world, and usually where I start and it goes up from there. This type of system does require maintenance. I have two suggestions. One, if you feel as if you need to bitch then I suggest that you and anyone else contribute to the cause. Two, get an appreciation of what it takes to run a site such as this, and how they work especially when providing something for the entire planet. Web applications have certain pitfalls and nuances, its just the nature of the beast. If you dont like it then leave, excercise your rights and go somewhere else. Show some respect for the people that are providing this free service. You are a prime example of what is wrong with todays society, bitching over something that is free, I dont get it? My dad used to tell me to shit in one hand and bitch in the other and see which fills up faster. If this is not acceptable, you STFU, remember this is a FREE site, so take it at face value or go somewhere else.
