I've looked everywhere on the forum and no one's made a topic about this yet so I thought I'd point it out.  This is what it says at the bottom of the board:

You sure that those are members only? Couple of days ago we had like 15 guests and me... Which I think was some kind of spamming thing but yea.

I've seen that happen once or twice on the GoF before. I have no idea why but we get completely flooded by guests occasionally.  Spamming? Probably.

How much can this place handle at once before having problems? (slowing, crashes, shutting down, etc.) Because if this keeps up, we might have to shift to another place or something.

ivnision's own support board are much larger than this place...they can take a beating. ;)

The numbers you are seeing are likely spambots, spiders or something like that.  It can be reset so we get a more accurate number.
