Just a suggestion with the upcoming Trade Deadline on the horizon.. some of the other VBulletin boards I've used in the past do not allow unregistered users to view the site during periods of high traffic.

This allows the active and registered base to keep viewing the site, but discourages the non-registered users who are constantly refreshing the forums from hammering the server.

Is this an idea anyone has explored or discussed?
