+zygote2k Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I see the server become busy every now ad then. Do all the Off-Topic posts slow down the server and the website? If so, why are they even allowed? Link to comment

+tirediron Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I see the server become busy every now ad then. Do all the Off-Topic posts slow down the server and the website? If so, why are they even allowed? OMG, Of course, too many posts in Off topic, that must be it! Off topic is the cause of all the problems at Groundspeak. I wonder why the admins never thought of that? Link to comment
Elias Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I see the server become busy every now ad then. Do all the Off-Topic posts slow down the server and the website? If so, why are they even allowed? The total number of posts in the forums doesn't really impact the performace of the server very much. The performance is influenced much more by the number of simultaneous users. Elias Link to comment

+Team GPSaxophone Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I see the server become busy every now ad then. Do all the Off-Topic posts slow down the server and the website? If so, why are they even allowed? Actually, all Off-Topic posters help support this site by contributing $3/month. If any forum should be shut down, it should be the ones with all the freeloaders.
