USFirst Unable to load

Is anyone else experiencing this I cannot connect to www.usfirst.org. Also this site is going slow.

I as well as you should know why this is happening (overflow of people trying to access/download files) I just want to know if anyone else is having similar issues. (also what is the USFirst twitter account)

Re: USFirst Unable to load

As an aside, this is the hardest I've seen the FIRST web site get hit in years...normally with the pre-downloading of the manual, they've been able to handle the extra traffic without any problems...

Team 2502 (well, me more specifically) challenges the FIRST/CD community to try to knock our servers offline.
