New Users Spoiling PPRuNe
Call me an old cynic, but I cannot believe that PPRuNe has become so popular, so quickly, that all these people seem to be logged in all of a sudden overloading the server.
I can't recall when you saw a huge number of folk logged into individual forums.
BA 038 can't be that exciting, surely
Is there some outside influence going on here ?

You can't rely on the posted figure of users - try leaving the site, closing the browser and coming back about an hour later. The time shown for your last visit will be the same as when you first arrived an hour previously.
Meaning that the site has regarded you as being present during the hour's absence.

This now turns into a conspiracy theory

The 777 accident did spike visitors - massively.
This was set against a background of increased volumes for the site that were already requiring the making of plans for server upgrades.
There are two kinds of PPRuNe reader - the registered kind that log-in and visitors that are read only. Visitors will often outnumber registered users at any given time.
I cannot offer timescales or even precise details, but can offer you the knowledge that plans are being progressed to improve the situation.

I am a new user - please tell me (and others) how we can refrain from 'spoiling' PPRuNe?
Happy to take advice!
I am here purely for research pourposes as learning to fly is a huge financial risk and I want to go in with my eyes open. I hope you guys are happy to assist. I also have great iinterest in planes, airlines, the technology as well as the political side of things so I feel this forum is ideal for me!

Settle down W4llace, PPRuNe is the victim of her own goodness. Good site, lots of people like it, they turn up.
I'm terribly biased (I'll have been here 7 years come Paddy's Day, God the time flies...) but I remember the good old days when Jet Blast was near-vitriol-less, and no one cared whether you were a pilot or not.
I pander for those days to return.
Newcomers are very welcome. We all were new here once.
As for advice, all I can say is "be nice"
No really....
Be nice. There's plenty of Daily Hatred readers out there, and the balance of sanity needs restoring

As Tight Slot referred to above, there is also the fact that one used to be able to read in at leisure without having to log in. Now (since a couple of months ago i believe?) you are only able to read a few posts before the requirement to log in comes up. I'm pretty sure that must also have an effect on the number of new members?
