Restrict certain groups from entering when the site is busy

Not sure if has been done yet but I could'nt find it if it has.

I would like to restrict normal users (registered) members to my forum on busy times and only allow the paying ones on when the site is busy.

Another words only the paying members have priority to enter the site when it is busy. I run a free side and a private one on the same vbull.
I have cut down the number of people allowed at any one time but when it reaches the max some of my subscribers are locked out.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

How do you determine when your site is "busy"?

Well when the number of allowed people is on the site. If I set it to 300 then only 300 are allowed on and the rest are turned away (including the private members) this is why I need this hack. I can up the number of allowed people but they eat the bandwidth..
Any idea's?

Open global.php and find

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($servertoobusy AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 6) {

Change to

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($servertoobusy AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 6 AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != X) {

where X is the usergroupid of your private members.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getpermissions() in /mnt/large/home/joescom/joescom/public_html/forums/index.php on line 10

Did you replace the X in the code I supplied for you? You need to replace the X with the actual usergroupid of your private members.
