Hey everyone. About yesterday, the site was very slow because it was being bombarded with traffic all of a sudden. We checked to see if it was an attack or something, but it was real traffic. We were getting 1,000's of MySQL requests a second. Something must have drawn that much traffic to the site. There was really nothing we could do because any fix would be a requirement to throw more hardware at the site. While we are now looking into our options for this, it was not something we could immediately do yesterday.

Things seem to have gotten back to normal today though.

I tried to post this yesterday, but with all of the traffic, I could not even get on.
