guest visiting closed when site is heavy loaded?

For security reasons i never login to my account without using TOR proxy, but i often browse the site as a guest cause its a lot faster for threads with many pictures.
Recently ive many times seen that the site couldnt be displayed when browsing in IE as a guest, but at the same time i had no problem browsing it logged in on the proxy?

Ive noticed on these occasions there was often around 800 ppl online.
like 500 users and 300 guests.

im wondering if theres some sort of traffic control on the site?

like 700-900 ppl max, after that its members only when site starts to get close to overloaded?

This is in no way any kind of bitching, im just wondering.....

this happens quite often.
found out its depending on whether you visit the site as a guest on your own ip or as guest with a proxy.

when visiting as guest on my own ip it gets me a "site cant be shown" from anywhere between 5 to 50 minutes.

but when visiting as guest with a proxy theres no problem, even at the same time as visiting as guest on my normal ip is closed.'

this leads me to believe theres some kinda limitation on guest visiting and after the limit is reached theres a temporary ip ban.
