I looks like Harvard brought down College Confidential discussion boards. At 5pm eastern time on March 31, CC went down, and that was the same time Harvard e-mail out admission results. Must be a lot of kids wanting to post their results at the same time.
All the Ivies posted at the same time.
Even more reasons to add code to figure out how to manage the flow of postings. Maybe dump the excess messages with a error screen to the poster.
We were seeing traffic levels much higher than we have seen in the past, and it took a little while to tweak our servers and infrastructure to handle the load. Thanks for everyone’s patience!
