Im not going to post snarky comments, empty K&R posts, memes, pix, jokes, YouTube videos, etc. for the next 48 hours. This site is too important to clog it up and maybe bring it down.

It wont help to reduce traffic but it will help to prevent duplicate posts.

Curbing your posting will not make any difference whatsoever when it comes to reducing traffic load.

(25,302 posts)Post as much as you want, but--here's the issue--when you want to submit a post on a thread, DON'T hit "Post" button more than once.
