The site was slow. I restarted the server, and it seems to be faster now.<p>We're trying to figure out what the cause of the problem is. It could be simply that we've crossed the threshold of traffic that our hardware/sw can comfortably handle, in which case we need to find and fix whatever the current bottleneck is.<p>Or it could be that something changed. We're getting requests in a new pattern. More anon.
I haven't been around for a long time but why is this on the front page? I'm sure they know when it's slow... Anyways, I feel like those Ask YC are over used. I appreciate when they are about technical or startup related questions but just asking if the site is slow is stupid... Anyways, my 2 cents.<p>You may karma me down.
I haven't noticed too much slowness lately...but I am guessing the web application's user sessions have been reset a few times over the past two days, as I keep having to log in even though my browser cookies are enabled correctly.
