      What they did was to limit the number of guests, and I think that cap is still there.

      I don't know what is best to do, but it seems to me that Mark should get the hack to save custom Avatars as files to favor cashing.

          I don't think that civ-3 newbie whining should be more important than the OT. Closing down the OT should be done after banning guests, if still necessary.

            If it comes to it, take down the avatars. We can do without pretty pictures, but without guests the number of new members will decline drastically and the site will slowly die.

              I dont think banning guests is the answer, Apolyton needs the exposure. How about buying a new server?

                  It looks like the choice has been made to shut down avatars for a little while longer--I think that's the right one.
                  No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                    Avatars aren't that important, start a thread where you show them off if they are disabled.

                      Maybe a limit of 300 guests would be good. That would reduce traffic but still allow access to non-registered civ fans.

                        When push comes to shove, disabling avatars seem the correct way.

                        Who knows, some guests might just click on ad banners or buy ACS merchandise.

                          I'd say that people are a lot more important then pictures
