I guess that’s what they call being TechCrunched

[UPDATE] We have temporarily disabled a couple of services from displaying during this heavy time. We’re working out ways to turn them back on and will let you know just as soon as that happens.

So as most of you already know, we hit TechCrunch this morning and had an incredible writeup. Turns out when that happens, your traffic spikes like you wouldn’t believe.

Turns out also, that when you give out 10 invites to every person that signs up, they tend to blast everyone about it and invite all their friends. So with all of that, we have a few issues that have come up.

We are temporarily scaling back our updating time to only every 15 minutes. It should only be like this for a while…during this insane influx.

We are also temporarily disabling new users from having invites. As much as we’d like to let you blast it to all of your friends, for the sake of our servers, and your user experience at the moment, we have to slow it down just ever so slightly. We’ll let you know when the invites are back up.

You might also see our maintenance page get thrown up every once in a while. Please bear with us, we’re working hard on making sure everything runs smoothly. We know you want to get in and play.

More updates as they come.

Thanks everyone! Hope you’re having a good experience so far, and please let us know if you are having issues, or have ideas.
