>8chan "failed" the stress test (although none of us are quite sure what that means, LOL).
It meant that Q initiated a situation (stress test), and the resulting overload of uniqueIDs looking at the site (on that thread) and those all trying to post at once (large % were bots, programmed to act on keywords, events or keywords+event combo) overwhelmed the site: it bogged down to a crawl, it couldn't handle the load. It was virtually unusable. That happened several times, and of course there were diagnostics being run (monitoring traffic, etc) by Q all those times. It was speculated that CM woke up one morning with some new gear courtesy of USMILINT so the site could handle the larger load from that time on. I stress it was speculation, CM never said anything about that, but work was done and the site improved as far as functionality when Q posted from then on.

Oldfags who were there and experienced these stress tests can either correct my recollection, or add more (better) details to explain it better.
