    Downhill? It's called maintenance on a site with over a hundred thousand members and three million posts.

    Nothing is going to be instant.

    No wonder you got a Forbidden error. You're using Internet Explorer!

    If that post was intended to be interpreted as sarcastic, you'd be surprised at just how dependent some people are on WHT as a place of refuge and relaxation before, during, or after a day of hard, hard work.

    I think the site just isnt dropping older connections....Theres no weay there is 22301 users online & 18900 Guests on http://www.gaiaonline.com at the same time!!!!!!

    The site is supposed to TIME OUT after 5 10 mins of no activity on an account (If you drop w/o logging off) but some are not configured correctly.......I've seen some vbull. sites where 1 day later it still showed someone was logged in when they werent (They just dropped the day before w/o clicking LOGOFF)

    Tinyurl is the answer for posting long urls!!!

    No there really are that many people on the website at once.

    Also they use phpBB (which is better than vB with heavy loads apparently..) so go them.

    That was a load of conjecture... for all we know they are running the site on a 30 server cluster.

    There's a lot more to scalability then JUST the software that's running.
    A well-reasoned assumption is very close to fact.

    I think WHT needs to grow to a larger cluster.
