The only thing I really have to say about AO3's latest contretemps is: I told you so~

When a platform is so fucked up that the only way to make it run is to take out the navigation, then it's time to think real hard about who's been driving development.

Yep! I told them /that/ too, not too very long ago. And it's not like accounts are what adds load (as has been demonstrated). It's not even like /uploads/ are what adds most of the load. *shakes head* Such a mess.

They just proved beyond a doubt that it has nothing to do with the number of people, with that lovely little graph of server load vs their story finders... So let people in! Who knows, with more people, they might even get more volunteers who can help them figure their way out of this mess.
