We are working on upgrading the system to handle more concurrent users. We are at capacity on certain late nights. (which is good, because it means we are growing) (It's bad because I can't handle them all right now)

Define late nights? Because when I'm trying to get a CB fix at 1AM PST, before I go to bed, there's usually no posts since like 10.

About 10pm to midnight EST.

Some sites have restrictions in place allowing only members or contributors during peak capacities. Perhaps this would be a way to 1) provide value for members and contributors, and 2) add additional revenue for expansion.

Okay, perhaps it's the Internet's way of telling me to get a life!

It's being worked on I'm planning maintenance one day between December 21st - December 23rd, or December 27th - January 3rd. The servers going to be backed up taken off line, a new install of Cent OS, then Plesk, and the sites will be brought back online. The Virtual Server is being scrapped as it's causing issues with the time and load. So both issues will be resolved by the first week of January.

Need an extra pair of hands in anything? I've set up multiple linux servers(Ubuntu though) many different Forum softwares and CMS's and a bunch of other stuff.

Don't see what specifically I could do but...

What's happening here is exciting: CB is going mainstream! Banner ads, who'd a thunk it?

Infrastructure needs to keep up, not add restrictions!
