I felt I had to take a screenshot of the number of guests apparently active around midnight GMT on 13-01-2010.
I'm wondering if this is a malicious attempt to crash the site, or there is a new wave of interest in Painter.
edit: now 13 minutes past midnight, and over 6,500 guests.
It looks like the visitors are now increasing at a rate of around 1000 per minute, but the site is holding for the moment.
