adewrell Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 why does everyone panic? wasn't there a message saying it was closed because of high traffic? if i really wanted to scare everyone, i could have posted a message saying the site had been shut down due to a court order because some retailer got mad and sent their lawyers after us... Now THAT is funny! :sidesplit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 looks like it could be another busy day. the MSN and CNN stories are still linked on their home pages, so if it gets bad, we'll have to close the forum again temporarily. if it happens, like BJS mentioned, just go to our facebook page for updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deal Grabber Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 why does everyone panic? wasn't there a message saying it was closed because of high traffic? if i really wanted to scare everyone, i could have posted a message saying the site had been shut down due to a court order because some retailer got mad and sent their lawyers after us...

Brad Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 We added one more server this morning. Have another one coming soon. It's that MSN story that is killing us. It's on the front page of MSN with the big Target bullseye logo, so your eyes go right to it, and you know how many millions of people never bother to change their default Internet Explorer homepage from MSN, so a lot of people are seeing it now. Not that I'm complaining Traffic yesterday was about 4x what it was on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 and just like that, the target logo is removed from the MSN site (although the story is still listed on the front page) and things on the site speed up a little, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
