The BBBA-Dummies' Guide for withstanding a tsunami of 500 users

Settings

Confidence in the new server: OFF
New members: OFF
Avatars: OFF
Who's on: OFF
Option to post in more than one thread: OFF

Keep it that way for at least 48 hours (to reinforce just how stressful this has been) and then remind everyone you may have to remain operating at the bare sticks while you wait for the er "deluge" to subside.

RRP: Priceless.

Just because you have never had more than three visitors at the one time to your site, clearly you know nothing about server loads and keeping a forum with over 900 online, flowing fast.

Idiot.

Vibes! Baby! Great to see you.

I've got a Google site. The three visitor overload is their problem.

So you're up to 900 online all of a sudden. Great creative accountant you've got, there!

Google site means nothing.

Vibes is an amateur, a whinny little kid who stamps his feet(or sends porn bombs) when he doesnt get his own way.
On one hand he claims there nothing but an innocent little fan site and on the other beams with pride when something he REPORTS is mentioned in another format. The kid cant have it both ways. Anyone who knows anything knows its a hate site run by people who guise as "fans" but are extremely resentful at the fact they are not involved in any way with what their lives revolve around. How does an idiot get attention? They hurl abuse and criticism while lying and sneaking around.
The reason he doesn't have any respect in any field (maybe off some 16 yr olds) is because he isn't smart enough to know how to gain respect doing it the right way, lies and claiming your infallible while making obvious mistakes doesn't get you respect. All Vibes has managed to do is make himself a joke in the halls of C10 and BB production crews.
For a site that boasts "insider" news, they aren't even a recognized or registered news outlet, and any tool knows that if he wants to receive time stamped press releases you have to be in the game.
TVtonight released the names of all contestants at 12:01 am on Monday with photo's and info, why? Because he received the press release a few days before and it had time restrictions on it. Thats how a pro does it.
Poor old vibes and his treehouse/clubhouse pals with their secret knocks and handshakes don't have a clue and they keep bitting the hand that feeds them.
If he cant handle a couple of hundred users on a forum, then it just gives you more respect for the good sites that can handle it.
