Original message
Due to high traffic, the forums are open to registered users only.
Once again, we apologize that we have to take this step. If we could keep the forums open to everybody, we would do it. But the massive traffic spike requires us to choose between denying access to some people and denying access to everyone.

The good news is that in the next week or so we are (FINALLY) going to upgrade our servers. We had hoped to have the upgrades in place before this week, but we couldn't pull it off.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

5. If those who are not donors think this is biased....
try maintaining a website of this caliber yourself.

If it comes down to allowing only donors to post or shutting the entire site down, what would you do?

18. Wow, didn't you guys recently upgrade the servers?
If it's time to do it again so soon, the traffic must be atrocious. Maybe you could borrow some from RimJob. He never upgrades anything, does he? :P
