Damn, I was thinking about trying for a "late" application, but apply.ycombinator.com seems to be down. Does anyone know if they still allow this, in principle

Damn, I was thinking about trying for a "late" application, but apply.ycombinator.com seems to be down. Does anyone know if they still allow this, in principle? Or are batches now so saturated (with good ideas) that they dropped the option?

We do still allow late apps. We're working on the problem and hope to have it back up soon. Sorry guys!

  No problem, thanks for the quick response!

  As a first time applicant, is there a declination notification or is lack of response the indicator of being passed over? Also, it seems there is an advantage in submitting late as you may avoid applicant fatigue. True?

  What happens if a rejected company from this batch submits a late application. Does this paradox cause the universe to implode? Haha - honestly though , is this acceptable?

    My guess would be - don't ask but do. Asking for permission probably makes it already a "no".

    From apply.ycombinator.com: "You are listed as a founder on another application. Please do not create a new application unless you're applying with a different startup." Was worth a look... :-)

  How about a rejected application but one that now has traction? ie live in the App Store and growing.
