• Sorry for the slowdown

    Blame some overzealous web crawlers.

    Web crawlers

    Ever since the Lounge got off the ground, we’ve been crazy busy.

    My guess (thanks to @NightOwl) is that we’re seeing some very energetic web crawlers, indexing everything in their new locations. It wouldn’t surprise me if that were the source of the “too many concurrent connections” crash very early this morning, Tennessee time.

    Indexing is good for everybody. But it’s a pain in the neck, too.

    I expect that we’ll see a return to normal snappy response times in the next day – or possibly a few hours. In the meantime, sorry. It ain’t broke, it’s just really bogged down.
