Updates! 3 October 2013: Working on speeding things up...
Don't know if you've noticed, but we're growing! Yesterday we had more traffic to the site than ever before. As a result, we've had to shift our energy to speeding things up so our servers can handle the growing load.
* Faster (and more efficient!) comment loading on all pages
* More stuff is cached! (That's a fancy way of saying: we're keeping stuff in our server's memory instead of reading it from the disk.)
* Project views are now shown on the explore page
* Bunches of little speedups in the backend
Even with these optimizations, the site is carrying a lot of traffic these days - especially during the week when schools are actively using it. So we're going to keep focusing on speed and glitches over the next few weeks.

Awesome! I have actually noticed things getting speedier! By the way, there is a glitch where if you are signed out you can still see and click “follow discussion” and have it change to “unfollow”

I wonder what would happen if 2000 people all looked at the same project all at once, and that project added all of their usernames to a cloud list. That would probably crash the servers, am I right?

Nope, scratch is too epic for crashing! I wonder what would happen if 2000 people all looked at the same project all at once, and that project added all of their usernames to a cloud list. That would probably crash the servers, am I right?
