Worst than not being able to login is being without internet conection for 6 hours !! Everytime I see these kind of posts I just remember when I lost my conection... that's a real problem ... When you can't login do just like me: get updated from all blogs and sites, you'll see that you'll learn a lot more instead of crying about it here for the 1000th time

The important thing is your's and others 1000's of trafficbots are getting good traffic stats, not that potential customers can login of course.
yeah. Good about the traffic stats, init? :D Customers were in and buying during it, so it wasn't a problem.

In this particular case, it seems very unlikely that the sheer number of logins had anything to do with the problem, the system message notwithstanding. Probably it would be better if those messages were more carefully tailored to the actual situation, so folks knew when to blame bots and when it's really something else gone wrong.

It's not that bots can never be the problem. There are failure modes that reduce the total number of simultaneous logins that can be supported, and there has historically been a capacity problem there anyway, which appears sometimes when the Presence system goes bonkers. I've not noticed this as much in the past month or so--which isn't too surprising, given that concurrency levels seem to be permanently plateaued.
