I hope this will help the server. It was pretty slow and sometime not working for me, but it seems more normal now.

posting games theads are the ones who you make a reply with reference to the previous reply, right?

i can imagine these take up a lot of resources. i think they can be discouraged.

The posting games definition on this board would rather be a thread where your posts do not count. There's all kinds of threads in there, chat threads, games, what do you listen to, what do you wear and so on.

Take a peek, it's my favorite board here.

You know what we did at our forum, when a thread reached 500-1000 posts, the thread got closed and a new was opened to continue. Maybe that'd be an idea?

On our forum I love the games/random section too. All threads there get very huge, however we do not expierence slowdowns from them. So I'd suggest just closing big threads and reopening new ones till they get too big.

If you actually read the first post in this thread, you'd see that the new policy involves closing threads as they reach 500 posts.

can AHS appeal for donations to upgrade server or buy more bandwidth?

The page was very slow today, when I got back from work a lot of people had asked me on MSN if AHS was down, I believe it might have been down/slow/something all day.

Seems to have cleared up now.

The mods have stated before long ago that they absolutely will not appeal for donations and that donations will come from the members whenever they choose to give them.

Not that I don't think it wouldn't be a good idea for us to "pitch in," I believe that the mods do not want anyone to feel obligated to in any way.

Donation drives are not for long term. We would like to stress that AHS's primary mission is to share news and multimedia with the ayumi fans around the globe, not chatting. We would rather the members contribute the funds solely from their own good will and not by "driving".

You can try to help out by posting moderately. For example, participate the games lightly, not chasing them all the way down to the drain. Stay on topic and try not to chat too trivial matters. Say "thank you" by using PM, not replying them straight in the news thread. You can help us a lot by doing that.

this is the site
and this section has a lot of spamming threads, some threads even had 54 thousand posts!!!!
But they have 4,000 members... This site has an excess of 11,000!
