The server crash was not because of high traffic, the hackers performed a ddos attack on the site that overloaded the server. It was only down for a short time however.
I know we are supposed to not talk about the hackers, it gives them the attention that they want, but I think John wouldn't like people to get the impression their servers are slow enough to crash due to a high level of people trying to access it, in fact hundreds of thousand of people probably would have had to try to view hi res pictures at the same time for it to overload and crash the server.
