As previously discussed, ONTD has struck a deal with LJ, and here a maintainer (brenden) gives some hints on the nature of the deal.
So what is going on? There have been problems with ONTD exceeding the comment limit on LJ before, and high profile events causing ONTD to overload and take down the rest of LJ, but why now? IIRC there haven't been too many extreme celeb events going on now anyway, which is why it's odd that there are these problems now. So is it just the normal usage of ONTD that's causing this problem? (then why didn't this happen in the past?) Anyhow, it seems that moving ONTD to another server isn't going to solve the entire problem in and of itself; they've got to install new disks onto that server, and that will, according to the ops staff, probably resolve the issue.
So now, I wonder, will ONTD continue to grow? Perhaps even more than the rest of LJ. Is (English-speaking) LJ becoming more ONTD-ized, especially since now that ONTD has become monetized, SUP is thinking of dedicated development resources to it?
