Hi guys - I keep getting 500 Server Error. Is this because the server is getting overwhelmed? Too many new users?

It's the Reddit hug of death...it will clear up over the next couple of days.

Can't help but wonder if the "Reddit hug of death" is going to become a thing of the past at this rate.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I remember the days of the Slashdot effect, then Digg and then Reddit. It seems Reddit is a bit more entrenched though, so I'm not sure if another user migration will be as... easy? simple? free flowing? Anyhow, interesting to see it as possibility again.
