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.

The sad part? That sidebar full of tags, with which to filter a fandom full of stories, appears to have been responsible for almost two thirds of the server load.

So now they're back to olde timey FFN sort of navigation, where you just keep paging back through the whole list of a fandom twenty at a time. Because the new and improved way to find stories was just that totally broken.
