Did you really get HNed just from a link in your comment, or was the outage coincidental?

I had top comment on pg's most recent essay; I got an extra 1,500 visitors to a subreddit I mentioned in the comment.

And my comment only rose to the top when the essay was quite far down the frontpage.

The link in this post was top or near top at the time this essay was #1, so I imagine they got quite a few visitors quite fast.

We don't have a dedicated server set up (We got one yesterday but its been having technical issues). Had to disable some features that were requiring too much. I honestly wasn't expecting this much traffic this quickly. I guessed wrong :P

.travel as a top level domain? Nice! How did you go about getting this may I ask?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.travel - I assumed it was one of the new "buy your own TLD" for $200k (http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/20/icann-to-expand-top-level-d...), but apparently .travel has been around for 8 years.

By applying to the .travel Registry Association as a registered business with it's main focus being traveling. Once they accept you, you can register a .travel domain from one of the registrars they provide. There are constant audits and check-ups of your website and in case it changes its focus, the domain can be revoked.

Where do I complain about the false advertising going on over at http://time.travel/ ?
