Good point. I didn't think of that until you wrote it, but I think this needs more attention. The site creators deserve a lot of kudos for doing such a good job.
This can only be a good thing for Reddit as well though. I visit both and tend to comment here rather than Reddit. Anything that brings more interactivity from lurkers like myself to contribute to the internet can only be a good thing for both communities. Plus.... competition makes everything better.
I've been looking for a replacement for reddit for a while. I'm hoping snapzu will fit the bill. It still has a few rough edges here and there but mostly everything is well polished so I think it has a lot of potential.
I was around just after reddit started and I miss the small community feel it used to have. This place sort of reminds me of the reddit I knew 7 or 8 years ago.
Totally agree, to be honest. If the internet could set up some sort of chain system where I'd know where I'd start to post before betraying it and finding somewhere else to hang out I'd be more than grateful.
The hosting is on rackspace, its actually not hard to spin up virtual servers on the fly to handle traffic spikes. But if it was true, and the admins pulled this off... masterful job.
Surprised that the site is functioning smoothly even with the infamous reddit hug of death

In fact the reddit thread and the reply citing Snapzu were both made by admins and they boosted their servers yesterday just for that promo shot.

If it were only that easy.
