Site was down. Experiencing very high traffic

Question

Site was down for couple of hours or more this morning due to high traffic. Some new features may have caused the website choke. We are looking into it and for next few days, we are analyzing various factors.

But again, we are reaching maximum limit of our bandwidth (1TB download per month).

We are still diagnosing the exact cause of the site to be down but either Twitter and/or Facebook may be the culprits. I believe it was Twitter. We have revert back the Comments control and removed both of them. Site has been running smoothly today. Do let us know if you run into any issues.

Good point Suthish. We may remove Facebook and Twitter for now to see if that is causing the problem.
