Doesn't the following entry in status (which as far as I can
see has not been superseded by any later info) cover it?

npc             Please note currently THREE customer facing news servers
22:30 May 09    are available.  This, combined with everyone trying to
                catch up on news after the outage, means that customers
                will be experiencing a lot of '400 - Server Busy' errors.
