Maximum Number of Guests?

[*End Is Forever*]

The server is too busy at the moment or the maximum number of guests have been exceeded. Please try again in a few minutes.

(My italics)

I apologise if I've missed something blatantly obvious... but can anyone tell me how many guests the "maximum" is?

from infinity(feature disabled) to whatever is needed at that moment

Isn't the answer obvious then!! Disable the bleedin' feature.

Don't you mean "enable"...?

What bothers me...is that I...as a member...get the notification...that the number of guests is exceeded...
Can't the member/guest-ratio be throttled...?

The feature you are referring to was disabled originally; however, it was implemented after a prolonged slowdown and even a complete albeit temporary server shutdown as a result of the traffic in the forums. This feature is designed as preventative measure to keep the forums running as smoothly as possible and indeed simply running.
