Hola,
The 5000 Post Never Ending Thread is probably taxing the server every time someone views it.
I'm would rather have that thread deleted than have to refresh a page only to see the Server Busy message.
If I'm dead wrong, Please feel free to flame me.

I have noticed the "Server Busy" message popping up A LOT lately. It's really annoying; I'm sitting here in my cubical trying to slack off like normal and I can't because I get that message.
What am I supposed to do when I can't get on this site, work? HA, hell no! This is American people! The U-S-and A, Greatest Country in the world!!
(sorry, I've had way too much sugar and caffine today)

That thread is a damn IM message, delete it I am sick of not being able to get on.
EQ, Jasnro, Warpath and Anrgy should get yahoo or aol im names and use that.
I love you guys but lets not slow this site down for junk postings.

I accidentally posted this in the Never Ending thread.
If the thread is banished. Will the posts in the thread not count in post counts?
UH-oh for some people.
hats ok because if the super happy fun thread went away i would lose a lot of posts too. Not 2000 but like 300. 5000 part 2

I highly doubt that it makes much difference. I am constantly confused as to why we get the server busy message. Supposedly we have a good server and VBulletin is not a killer, especially since Matty has trimmed a lot. Even with thousands of people accessing this site simulatneously it should not have issues. I am a web application developer so I should know something about this. One of life's mysteries.

I hope it does deduct from the thread counts...that would be hilarious for the post whores. :)
Seriously, I have been trying to get on here all day. I got in this morning after a while of trying and got to read a few posts in the uniform thread, then the server was "busy" again for a few more hours until now. I bet I'll be blocked out again after posting this. Whatever the problem is, needs fixed, whether it takes blowing away a pointless thread or not. It's frustrating.
How big a thread is doesn't make any difference, it's all about how many people are hitting the site at one time. Viewing a thread isn't the problem, posting is though. So yeah, constant posting doesn't help especially when it's meaningless crap that should be taking place on IM.
