Who would decide whos here to offer support and whos here just to spam?

I know I wouldnt like to make the choice and offered many people. Something tells me you would though. :P

Well, I hope indeed that there will be no problem...
Once in a while (in the last month(s)) I got the server overload page also, so...

That wasn't due to having too many users online though, and it usually only lasts a few seconds, so it's not really relevant. :p

I kinda thought so (or hoped so :refuck:)... that's why there's 2 :Ps in such a small space. Hmm... I should use an emoticon other than :P to end this block of text, but I can't think of a good one, so... :P

Very true, but similarly, who can we help if all the guests are blocked?  The settings would need to be perfect. :-/

If the server does start to overload why not give members who have been around a while the ability to recommend users...like I sometimes do to people I know...only one ever has though...

Mayby temponary disable (hide) the tech/chit chat/T&T area's when load gets really high? Then guests can still register and ask questions.

But i don't think there will be that many people as there were with the release of 2.0. That release had many more new features which create many more questions. Plus! 3 is created to make it easier for users, so it should bring even less questions.
Finish the problem

O.P. RE: New member and guest lockout
perhaps there could be a link to pluslite? That could temporarily have the support forums on it and this would even the load? If someone makes an FAQ page then less suport might be needed?
