Pages per day limit

[Hungry Horace]

it seems everyone else is able to hit the 100 limit and carry on without getting banned.

something special must have happened

dont really understand what the fuss is about. Most free sites are plastered with adverts and pop-ups, so having this "limit" is hardly very intrusive compared to that.

Let us all moan about absolutely nothing, yay!

if it were a business, you'd have to be content with "your comments have been noted and will be reviewed by the relevant parties"

and then nothing would change anyway I dont see much point in re-hashing this ground again

Not really, if you have a technical problem than it is not nothing.

If you seriously need to search through 1100 games in a short period of time then maybe you should consider setting up your own site or offer some money to pay for server costs. Also, I am guessing a site could leech off of HOL and maybe, just maybe, this limit is helping to prevent/curb that. Not being able to search through thousands of games on HOL is such a trivial matter imho. COME ON HOL! I have 3 kids to feed, loosen the restrictions!

When did I say I found it uninteresting and why can you not stick to the subject rather than talking about me personally?

i also didnt say i found it uninteresting, quite the contrary, i find it fascinating how someone can try an make a case for it, (because so far I havent seen anything that convincing to show it as actually needed) considering many other people dont have the complaint, and above is the only case i have ever seen of someone being "banned" at all, and it certainly seemed to be a "special" scenario. I mean seriously... 1100 views. hardly commonplace is it?

comments like that, really make me laugh because i am pretty sure you'll find yourself in a minority there.


As i said before though, the case "for" removing (or up'ing) the limit has been made, recorded by the relevant person(s), and that going over the same issue of "but i want it" would just be re-covering old ground.

I think the admin at HOL will look at all these fixed opinions and decide for themselves what is a good idea and possibly use that idea at their discretion.

Ads are not a good idea imho, but I am not against it completely, the 'HOL people' deserve to be making money from such a wonderful site in some way, be it ads or donations. There you go plankton, one unfixed opinion just for you.

@VresiBerba: just give me your IP and I will unban you.

If one IP hit the "100 per day" limit 9 times, it will be permanently banned.
This protection code was only there to prevent massive website leeching.

Anyway, it was at a time HOL pictures were not watermarked.
I think it's maybe time to make the human verification system less intrusive.
