RE: high traffic
it could also be because they dont have the best of servers, and it hosts messenger-blog, stuffplug and w2m, and w2m has to create the .xml files for statuses etc.

RE: high traffic
they need a new server, that can handle the load that w2m creates, but TB doesnt want to pay extra money for it, which tbh wil have to happen if he wants a new server |

Probably not. I forgot the fact that there is XML outputs, meaning signatures all over the net could be getting viewed at the same time. |

RE: high traffic
W2M is just very popular and the servers are really busy. As far as I know they don't earn (much) mony for it, so no money to buy better servers
