regular posting is back....uh-oh

I was in the midst of conducting a survey of how many people use an iPhone, smartphone, etc. to post on message boards such as this one. 8 years of college down the drain!!
January 6th, 2011 at 3:05 PM ^
In case anyone wants some visual evidence of how much we overloaded the site:
January 6th, 2011 at 3:06 PM ^
What an inconvienient truth!
January 6th, 2011 at 3:08 PM ^
Unfortunately that doesn't include yesterday. I'd be really curious to see how much higher it went.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:13 PM ^
it went to eleven
January 6th, 2011 at 3:09 PM ^
I wonder what the record for a sport's blog is?
January 6th, 2011 at 3:10 PM ^
Judging by our results, the site is clearly lying about the job search. Just look at these charts.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
Dizzam. Sweet MGoNumbers.
That's a crazy increase. Thanks for the info, I was wondering how astronomical it got.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
I was wondering what the blast off looked like in terms of numbers. +1 to you, kind sir!

Brian needs to collect his check on the 'hits' revenue from the 4th and then DB can add a signing bonus for Jimmah.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:17 PM ^
And to think, with the site down my productivity at work had a similar spike... but will now return to normal
January 6th, 2011 at 3:36 PM ^
Chart.
January 6th, 2011 at 6:59 PM ^
Wow. The site traffic tripled overnight. That is crazy!
January 6th, 2011 at 3:06 PM ^
exponentially less fun without the mgoboard
January 6th, 2011 at 3:09 PM ^
Not to sound sappy, but I really missed you guys over the past couple of days!! I almost switched to an iphone just so i could post.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:14 PM ^
OMG! Thanks Josher! I missed you too. You are so sweet
Love always,

"Life not worth living now that RR is not the coach."
and
"DB having no coach within 24 hours = failure, even if he hires good coach."
January 6th, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
Thank God regular posting is back.
Seriously made me realize how much I value this board as my one-stop-shop for all news Michigan related.
Was a royal pain in the ass the past couple days to have to scour the internet myself for Michigan news, rather than just go here where anything of note is collected in one convenient location.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:17 PM ^
Not tagged META.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:17 PM ^
like me who can't figure out how to get things to show in yellow on my posts, don't even try to post pictures let alone clips, and actually do not even know what the word cached means, why exactly could not log in the last two days, and who could log in, and why did it happen, and so on and so on?
January 6th, 2011 at 4:30 PM ^
Magic. Or specifically, a lack thereof.
January 6th, 2011 at 4:36 PM ^
I guess people using the iPhone app could still post, but everyone else could only read. This was done to keep the site up and running in case of breaking news. During times of emergency (like this week) the site gets overloaded with the crazies so its probably just easier for them to close it down temporarily.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:18 PM ^
Woot. Now I can try and remember those posts I've been meaning to upvote the last couple days.
Or at least I would if I could remember the last couple days. Thank you sweet alcohol.
January 6th, 2011 at 3:34 PM ^
I already got my first 503 error! *Sniff* It's like old times...
January 6th, 2011 at 9:28 PM ^
Is anyone else having trouble with the site? I can't upvote or downvote and when I'm looking at front-page articles the site thinks I'm not logged in--it shows "Login or register to post comments" instead of the voting stats at the end of each post. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
January 6th, 2011 at 9:40 PM ^
Same here. Think it's largely an effect of the site getting major, major traffic these past couple of days.
January 6th, 2011 at 9:52 PM ^
for posting a new forum topic now? I finally reached 100 posts but still can't start my own thread. Oh the humanity!
