uvp Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 because it is sad that us member who are active cant post cause you got 100 guest hogging up all bandwith and not even posting. the season hasntt even start and the board is running slow. if you can read the forum you should at least register and get active and stop hogging up bandwith and slow up the board. anybody else agree? get rid of the lurkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REZEVILGB13 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I agree i cant even post let alone look at anything. This is like this every year... Internal Server Error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerSnaps Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 That's a good point! But even on a non-eventful day there are always twice as many lurkers watching the board than posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I was so hoping that it would be better this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbfan100 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 That's a good point! But even on a non-eventful day there are always twice as many lurkers watching the board than posting. I couldn't post I kept getting Internal Server Error too...for about 10 minutes..and I just went to post this and it keeps saying ISE so I press back to type this.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Patch Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 hmmmm, i dunno. I started out as a lurker, and only posted in response to someone's "inaccurate" opinions. Lurkers bring more posters IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbfan100 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 219 Guests I am assuming that guests are not members and the ones lurking and causing the board to have an error....there are a lot of people here tonight.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayman Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 i hate the error messages but it does feel pretty good seeing so many people on the boards. it just makes you that much more excited about the upcoming season and for some reason it just reminds me of those endurance competition talks in the chat rooms. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I couldn't post I kept getting Internal Server Error too...for about 10 minutes..and I just went to post this and it keeps saying ISE so I press back to type this.lol Yay...I've finally, finally clicked on something that doesn't results in getting the dreaded Internal Server Error page. Yikes...busy Well, it's nice to know I'm not the only one obsessed with Big Brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Imagine hundreds of people trying to walk through a corridor....I can understand where uvpnolimits is coming from,As a long time poster from Mortys first board....It's aggravating!! Imagine Morty's and the Mod's thoughts...It's no fun for them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamTheCat Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Oh I know 'Internal Service Error' is driving me nuts, but ultimately the more people that post the more fun the boards seem to be, eh? The lo-fi version is pretty good for read-only - kind of a trade off because there's no graphics and stuff but at least it loads up much faster.

ElleNaturelle Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Don't get me wrong, I'm glad guests like coming here, but without us posters they'd have nothing to read in the first place. If they want to continue having things to read, then I suggest they step aside to give us a chance to at least post... read later or better yet, sign up and post yourself. These error messages are CRAZY and totally driving me nuts! I can't go a whole summer like this. I need my fix, and since I have things to say, I want to be able to say them while the moment's hot.

I think the new members should AT LEAST read the topics we already have, there's already been a couple of topics that have already been here, it's annoying to have 2 of the SAME topics.

hnyyes2003 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Lets not be that mean, I don't care if people lurk, I was a lurker for a while till I registered. I only remember it getting really jammed once or twice last season when it got really heated up over the Friendsheep and the sovs. Mortys is the best site out here, especially for "Big Brother". I don't think any other site compares to this one, while I wish the lurkers would register, I wouldn't want to say they weren't welcome.That's just me tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Morty said to me once. The board has 15 people on at a time in the off season. It gets a flood of people and it needs some time to catch up. Would also help if people didn't refresh the page 50 times to see new posts and use the Low Fi version to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngeliaCG Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I lurked last year and could not help but take the bait this year, you guys are great! Love the topics and the way you respectfully express your opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be crazy Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I am a member.I don't post all that offen,but sometimes the site thinks I'm a guest aka lurker .I don't always log in unless I have something to contribute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Injun Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 These are the statistics for this board! Board Statistics Our members have made a total of 82,906 posts We have 5,492 registered members Most users ever online was 879 on Sep 14 2005, 02:44 PM Can you imagine what it will be like when that many people decide to come here just to read?? Maybe Morty can fix it so that the guests are directed to the lo-fi version automatically! Saving our bandwidth! ALSO::::We were asked to stop quoting everyone elses posts. That saves bandwidth too! Just some thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Joe Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 As Jem stated above (that Morty had stated before), using the Low Fi version to only READ the forum would GREATLY help. If you only want to read, try bookmarking this address: http://tvfanforums.net/lofiversion/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElisabethF50 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I'm not trying to be mean to the people just reading then only thing I'm saying is the newer members need to look at the other topics before posting a new one exactly like it. Our mods do a very good job spotting this stuff and they do the best they can and I'm sure everyone greatly appreciates it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnyyes2003 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 you was on the wrong board then last year. btw morty's is best board Well I did try to jump around to some other boards last year, but I really found for my own tastes Mortys Rocks for me, the same people come back here especially for Big Brother and it seems we get to know each other, even tho sometimes people get po'd at some people at their posts, it really boils down to the difference in opinions, boy but the majority of folks hated the "Friendsheep". It was all out war here at times over the split between the Sovs and the Friendsheep,lol, I had a blast last summer on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uvp Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 you gonna have a blast again if we can rid the lurkers lol. but seriously i wonder what will divide the board this season. i cant wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumblonde Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Keep in mind that all those showing up as visitors may not be non-members (a.k.a. lurkers ). For some reason my firewall will not allow the cookie for me to be remembered each time I come to the website anew. So I usually don't sign in until I get ready to post.

uvp Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 cool but i am refering to those that will never post and just hit the board as soon as something bigs happens and hang around for hours wasting bandwith and slowing down the board who us who wants to post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
