Default Can We Block Guests on Game Days

I remember someone asking this before. We have like 2000 guests on the site clogging it up for the 400+ members trying to discuss our beloved Patriots. Happens every game day and it's a real pain in the butt. Sorry ... just needed to vent ... perhaps some of those guests will become members and maybe even donate to the bandwidth they suck up on us.
