PadMapper is probably going to be seeing extremely heavy traffic over the next few days (roughly 50-100x normal), and I’m making some changes so that the site hopefully won’t become completely unresponsive. This includes getting a beefier server on short notice, and streamlining some stuff on the backend, but these measures might not be enough, so I’ll be taking two of the most taxing things offline for the next few days – the subway and keyword filtering. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I’m not sure the server is going to survive, even if they are disabled. Also, sorry if the site is really slow for the next few days.
Let’s hope the duct tape holds.
