Eh, we've tried it from time to time, but 1) it's not just a magic switch we press (it probably takes 5-10 minutes to turn it off and 5-10 minutes to turn it back on) and 2) it only helps marginally. We did it for games last year from time to time, and the server usually crapped out regardless of whether we had guest access on or not.

Is it time for another fundraiser?
The last one was a smash hit and seemed to help a lot, because the traffic around here will only get worse as we continue to dominate the NFL... |

Move the site off to a kubernetes cluster and use mariadb gluster and could improve performance quite a bit.
Combine that with moving to modern software and the site can fly. |

This site is going to be damn near unreadable during game time, and that makes me a sad turtle.

I love this forum software: https://www.discourse.org/
You can paste images directly, it has no pages - just infinite scroll, posts are updated live w/o refreshing (amazing for gameday threads), it turns all links into previews, easier to quote. After spending some time on a discourse forum - vbulletin sites feel really dated and clunky to me. |

Yeah for the most part, I don't participate in game threads or really get on the site during the games anymore. Only after big/important plays do I try to see what people here are saying.
