Thousands of people attempting to write to it at the same time? Maybe Drive wasn't prepared for such an eventuality.
In any case, I'm just speculating based on the mighty odd timing.
- damniatx 14y agoIt can't. that just ridiculous reason. Google Drive can handle pretty much all what reddit can handle.Currently, it's got around 3000 points. it still not reaching the reddit frontpage yet. i don't think that that kind of traffic can make Google Drive down. that just silly. We are talking about google. not just random start up on HN.
- shrikant 14y agoA little OT: but the article in question had reached the front page. It was then "deleted" by mods. A mod removal on Reddit just removes a post from any visibility, and doesn't actually delete it. So people with the link can still see the thread, but it won't be discoverable.
