Don't you think until the situation is fixed wouldn't it be a good idea to close new membership until it can be obtained. Then re-open it afterwards? I am getting kicked off ECF with server busy Messages each and every day now and have been for the last 2 or 3 weeks.
I'm just a frustrated member and not trying to be mean to anyone. It is just a thought.

Spake, how about limiting the number of guests at any one time, until the new server is up and running ?? Maybe the software can be programmed to do that ??

It doesn't seem fair to the members, to have "guests" clogging up the forum.

How about we just close the snail and j0ker threads until the upgrade is done, I'm sure that would clear up some bandwidth?:p

This sounds like a good idea. At least until the problem is corrected.

Lol oh, THAT would go well. You know what happens when the snail and j0ker threads disappear? We migrate to the inside! :lol:

Exactly right! Lol. Better just to ban Jerry for awhile - oh wait, then there would be another 'where's Jerry?' thread. Nevermind... keep things as they are.

Maybe they should just shut out all non supporting member statuses till they afford and install another server ?...


just sayin..... :p

why do not better make the amount of posts displayed per page to 10 and turn off the option to 20,30 or 40, and perhaps to stop the options to post pictures and videos :p

When you embed videos like youtube and use places like photobucket for pictures the bandwidth for them comes from those places it does not tax the ECF server. If you use ECF attachments that does come off the ECF server. So getting rid of using external hosting sites would just bring the user experience down and in my opinion do nothing to solve the problem. Seems like every time i get the server is too busy then i get it to load again there doesn't seem to be that high of a traffic load when you check how many users are connected to the server. So i am not so sure this is a bandwidth problem. Maybe the FDA is D dos'ing the server or BP .lol :)

with all the supporting members donations it should not be very hard to increase server bandwidth or change server providers. I'm also a member of this Forum Two Plus Two Poker Forum - Poker Strategy Forums and it's arguably bigger and I have yet to experience any problems.

If needed I will donate more to the cause.
