Okay, what's all this about? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

I've been surfing the OT forums, and I've noticed several threads with 20 or so replies, and 0 views. How exactly does that go about working?

When too many users come on, the site starts turning off features... Views, Avatars... that kind of thing.

But it is pretty funny to see a thread with 20 responses and only 0 views

If only everyone was so easily amused the world would be a much happier place.

Now that's odd. The server turns off previous posts if the load gets too high????????????

Nah, it was a minor glitch I think. The thread was repaired a few minutes later, showing the proper posts/replies.

Oh right. For a moment I suspected that the server load reducation measures had gotten a little draconian.
