    Sad that a few sexy pics on a Porn Forum can cause server issues

    I have a better suggestion, why not make the forum private and only accessible to existing members, at least until things cool down? I've seen other forums and message boards do the same thing, this way the servers won't be so overloaded and the site will attract less public attention.

    Ages ago I suggested a post count limitation in order to see the "good" stuff. Well, I'm not as crazy as they thought I was....;)

    You should have a min of 100 posts to get to the goodies...
    A little sub forum put by just for moments like this. :)

    It doesn't help that a link straight to the Emma Watson pictures (here) has been posted on 4chan either..

    I've seen the link not only there, but on reddit and many other sites and celeb boards as well. This attracts a lot of attention to the forum.

    Struggling to post at the moment. I'm not here as much as I used to be put struggling to reply to threads or messages in personal inbox. I'll try again in a week or so!

    Didn't realise there had been a release of pics which crashed the site!

    Edit: this post worked so a good start for today! Bit better today

    I have asked if the traffic has returned to where the server can go back to normal settings. The survival tools they implemented are the cause of the errors and can continue to be an annoyance so long as they are active.

    Why not grant access to members only because this is getting a little silly and to be honest a little disrespectful, sorry but it has to be said.

    Phun is all about sharing and enjoying content for everyone's entertainment, not just for the relative handful of members who bother to login every day. If you think you're inconvenienced by the current issues brought on by all the fanboys, image how much of a pain in the ass it is for the mods who are continuously hampered in their efforts to keep the forum organized and updated. I'm here to tell you that it's not a level of aggravation I signed up for, but I'm willing to tolerate it because I know it will eventually pass. So quit your bitching. I can also report that the owner will be looking into ways of mitigating the performance issues for the next time a fappening type of event occurs.

    We appreciate your input and your patience.

    just think of it this way, those that are not members are getting just as frustrated when they can't access the images either

    Lately in the Model Forum I'm seeing "IMG" instead of the actual image. Refreshing the screen over and over again will sometimes make the actual picture show up but it will also turn pictures back into that tag. It's not on every page but it has been showing up more and more recently.

    So you're seeing this sort of icon, or something similar?

    [​IMG]

    I get that sort of thing occasionally, but I don't think it's XF. I'm more inclined to think it's the imagehost.
