I'm sure there will be a flood of mail on this, but while many folks were
trying to shield-bash their way onto the chat on www.thestation.com,
several dozen or more fans were on IRC the whole time on #babylon5
remarking how THEIR server had no trouble at all. ... =)

Joe, better yet, just don't announce it ahead of time. Just show up
randomly. Even better, put a computer on the set so that anybody from
the crew can wander over on free time and log in and chat with whoever
happens to be on at the moment.

No, it wouldn't have been as bad if they'd been prepared for us.

Also, while many boast about IRCs being the end-all of these things, the
IRC that I did while in Tampa had just as many servers blow up, all over
the place.

Final figure was that 6,000 tried to get into this thing...there ain't a
server on the planet that can handle that.
