>The (registration) fee is based on the formula (number of users * $0.001), so the earlier you join, the less you pay.

Love that they're completely transparent about their number of users and how they're using it as a bargaining chip to convert fence-sitters like me.

Looks like it might really pay to be an early adopter.

We had a pretty wild time. Had to turn off a lot of background services and completely saturated our MySQL writes, but the site stayed up. I'll write up our experience in a couple of days in some detail.
