To deny this is to deny the truth of the situation.

I'll be the first to admit that the titty board is what brought me here, but I don't think that a lot of you were here when the decision was made to make the EZ unavailable to rookies. There was a point where we had so many lurkers, that you couldn't look at more than two pages without getting an error message because there were too many people putting too heavy of a load on the server. So, membership became required to view the titty board. That got rid of some lurkers, but the same thing started happen again. I can't even begin to describe how annoying it is to type out a reply only spend 10-20 minutes hitting the submit button only to get a white screen with the "there was a problem with the database, the admins have been contacted" (or however it goes) message every time.
Here are our options:
1. EZ open to all, and have contributing members constantly getting errors because we're overrun with lurkers
2. Leave it as it is so that we can continue viewing and posting without getting frustrated by the dreaded "white screen of death"
Personally, after having seen the WSOD one too many times, I prefer the second option.
