Maybe it wasn't a DDOS attack. Maybe it was just 1.6 million poor sods running away from reddit trying to get into saidit.

Lol, more like 23 million. That all tried within a 4 hour period and then instantly stopped, and each IP was doing 100k+ requests. And our number IPs connecting didn't change, only the number of requests, so there were no actual new users.
So it definitely wasn't new users. But this is something we watch out for, because sometimes heavy sudden traffic can look like a DDOS, it's true.
