Glad I was able to think of something interesting enough for the digg community to vote up so highly, but I was a little surprised to see that question submission has completely stopped. I’ve been sitting at 388 all weekend.
It was interesting to see traffic spike up to 67K pageviews for the day – it was mostly contained in a period of 5 hours. Also funny to see people try to mess with the server, one person wrote a script to submit the same question in a loop. Clever. I guess when you put up a server in less than 2 hours you forget to deal with that type of thing.
Thanks to Conrad Walton for the help, and Josh Axelman for encouraging the idea.

You may know this by now, but the reason you’re not getting more questions is because it broke. Nothing happens with the questions I submit; the queue doesn’t seem to change…
I discovered that a few hours ago, question submission works again. I had actually disabled it, and never reenabled it.
