Its called the Slashdot Effect.

The site was published in Slashdot, and therefor, as usuall, the huge
wave of Slashdot readers began to "bombard" the site with entrances
almost immediatly, causing the servers to overwhelm. Its almost a
ritual thing, the way it happenes. :)

Give it 4 days or so, and the "wave" of people should calm down and
then the server will come back.

No MiB intervention this time. <g>
