Would you mind explaining this comment? (I worked on deviantart for many years when it started so I'm curious, tho the servers did literally melt at one point)

    pack considerably more spinning disks bought off the shelf at radioshack than you ever reasonably should in a box in a colo, turns out they generate a lot of heat, I don't recall the year I'd guess around 2004/5-ish - was a big problem, site was down for quite some time. Same year someone found out who one of our mods was and showed up to their house with a gun. Ask me about hypergrowth, I'm not sure if the DeviantART stories or the DigitalOcean stories are more wild. heh. :)
