This is Micah, the co-founder of Obsidian Portal. We got mentioned in the PA news today and our server is on its knees! We're glad to have everyone show up, but please be patient. We're a small site with a limited budget and spikes like this are rare (well...this is the first one...)! Normally the site is nice and zippy.
So, welcome, and be sure to check back in a day or so once things calm down.
Also, pester Gabe to give a link directly to his campaign. It's pretty sweet, but I don't want to out him unless he wants to show it.
