We've been namedropped on TikTok again

Apologies in advance for the likely performance issues and flood of low quality posts. I am powerless to stop it but I am so impressed with you all for enduring it.

As always, WPD does not serve ads and never will. And so while most sites would consider a sudden 500% increase in traffic to be a boon, this is not the case for us.

This too shall pass. Find your favorite pillow and bite it. It'll all be over soon.

Hello current wave of TikTok tourists. As a reminder, this is an 18+ website. If you are not 18 or older, leave now. And if you're going to sign up and post, please make it a good one. Our jannies don't get paid and they keep having to clean up shitty Roblox posts or whatever. Stop it.

Thanks!

Just ban sign-ups for now, as simple as that, if the influx is really an issue that is..

Yeah, OP already stated why that won't help.

skip this section if you do know or dont care

Im assuming you don't know how internet traffic works, but it goes like this: you open your favorite browser, but to load it, you need data, so your router sends a get request which goes through many doors to finally end up at the server where the data its held, next that data is retrieved and put on your pc, it loads everything and you can now access the internet. Same this goes with clicking links to open new web pages. Depending on where the server is located in the world, it could take some time for it to load. It also takes more time if many requests are being sent.

dont skip

Its like a grocery store register lines, the more people, the longer it takes. Which is why this post was made.

I do understand that, but if you don't allow sign ups, they'll eventually get bored and just leave so won't that solve the issue? Instead of letting them sign up and then getting them comfy here

But they basically get all the same features a member has that they would want: find and view posts. Thats what majority of them do. They dont wanna interact, they just wanna look because theyre so intrigued by this previously hidden stuff
