It's mayhem when a new release is imminent. Ranging from 'why can't I upgrade now' to it should be free' etc. ad nauseam!

I imagined it would get busy, but would really not have expected such volumes. And to think perksie started it all

How I look forward to the yearly post count increase

Seriously though, any chance of a temporary delay to new registrations to the forum around the time of the announcement and availability? As we've seen recently with the network outage, it just ends up in a slanging contest between the know-all newbie and us regulars.

Yea, good point, sheepdog. It makes sense to start thinking about improvements already. Before drafting anything, I would love to hear any suggestions you might have. Especially since some of you have already experienced these spikes in forum activity more often.

A lot of peoples posts on other forums are saying that it's a hoax to throw people off track, reason been is that there has never been has many leaks as what there is this time and also Apple have apparently double up on security.

Personally I'm unsure whether to believe it or not, I agree though, there has never been as many leaks about a new iPhone has this time.
