I don't know if I'm underestimating HN's reach but I doubt we did that, probably traffic from a much bigger aggregator/forum
replyYou are underestimating HN's reach, this happens all the time. As someone who has been on the front page of HN it's a pretty big rush in traffic!
replyI'd wager that the load is amplified by other sites that treat HN as a goldmine of tasty links.
