3. The levels of reduced access are in response to site traffic.
The more registered users logged in, the more restricted access is to help keep the site running. It's not based on internet traffic as a whole, as far as I can tell.
I imagine that many people would be willing to contribute to an upgrade fund. It would not be difficult to bring in more administrators. High traffic times are when DU is most needed.
There will be other times when high capacity is needed.
I was expecting to be kicked off on Sat because of all my expletive-laden posts on Fri night. That was my boiling point. I was just so pissed off! Still am but doing a better job at stabilizing.
