Servers are tricky especially the web service. When a server receives a lot of web requests (port 80), there’s only so many that can happen at a time. Each time you click on the site, fresh, that sends another request. Since there’s not a multimillion dollar backing (i.e. twitter, facebook etc al.) with servers, load balancing and the such, the server can become quickly bogged down. And who’s to say a lot of trolls weren’t hitting the servers at the same time?

The solution is that we avoid FR during times that are expected to have a high volume of traffic.

I wonder if the Sharks on ABC would buy into that business model.
