Restricted access by usergroups and server load
 

Well, English is not my language, so excuse my expression errors. There is a beta of this hack in https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=68121

With this hack, only selected usergroups will be able to browse the board when the server load have a specific value or up. It?s independent of default load value for closing the board to all users.
I use it to allow access to my premium members and staff with priority respect other usergroups in association with another hack of mine: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=70946


The hack is inspired in https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=56630 for vb 2.3.x, of Gary King, author of the original idea, thanks a lot for his permission.

In Admin CP, vBulletin Options, Turn Your vBulletin On and Off, you can add the selected usergroups and the load for resctrict the access.

As I am not a coder perhaps anybody can optimize this hack.
