You should also plan for the September 30 influx. Why September 30? Because it's the deadline they gave /r/AskReddit for the new mod tools. The mods took it very seriously and put that deadline into their sidebar.
If things aren't delivered by September 30, /r/AskReddit is going dark again, others will likely follow, and it'll be harder for reddit to cajole the mods back into reopening shop.

Darn, you are right. We better prepare our servers for a potential influx after that date. And of course, prepare the welcoming committee.
They recanted the date today, saying that had no internal talk about what to do and no idea when it'll be done.
