I'm the sysadmin for beehaw.org and our user-base has almost tripled in 24 hours. Our site has been crashing so much over this time period.

We do have some volunteers that are trying to figure out a reasonable solution for when this happens again four weeks from now.

Do you have any recommendations?

You can ask them to check the browser console for errors. Or sign up somewhere else. Anyway we are getting at least a dozen signups per hour so it's working for many.
