Pretty much, yes.

How a system behaves in a controlled environment, and how a system behaves when it's getting hammered are two entirely different things, and often there's no way to really simulate the latter adequately, so you don't find out until it goes live.

The fact that the server is struggling to run, rather than just failing outright, is a good sign, though. A few optimizations here and there, and things should be fine, especially once the load eases off a bit. :)

I can fix it!
I said I'd be checking in on performance once it goes back up, and so far it's running at least as fast as before the crash. Since late night is borderline peak hours, perhaps I should stay up a while longer to see what happens.

Then everybody goes back on, then it will probably crash once more.

I don't really mind. I'm going to bed soon. The server will probably have its tweaking all fixed by the time I get on the computer tomorrow.

The server didn't crash, it's just struggling under the load of everyone hammering it at once.

You know, it could also benefited if this announcement was made when there was little traffic. Then people would realize that FA is back on their own time.

*trembles* FA is back....

I feel like a crack junkie who's been clean for a year and then Jesus walks up with a truckload of the stuff for him.

Bless you, FA God. God bless us, one and everyfur.

The site is back online. We're doing some live tweaks right now to meet the flood and get things running smoothly. Hold in there. :)

EDIT: Server is getting slammed. We're tweaking as we go.

Usually, at times like these, when I'm waiting in line like everyone else, say for a store or place or attraction to open, and then the said thing goes open and everyone can go in again. There's usually a big jostle to get the heck in. At times like these, I'm usually generous to let several go ahead of me and then go in on my own turn. At this particular example, given the volume of people, I would probably stand back and let the stream of individuals pass me by to go in. Maybe jump on a countertop and let them go by.
Then I stare in slight amusement of the big stream of folks going in until then.
