Just thought I'd warn y'all that we're about to get at least 1000 new people.

I think that most anyone who didn't hear about this through the Humble Bundles is probably not willing enough to support indie development to actively join our little community here, and anyway, CC is in too much of a buggy and unfinished state at the moment to attract the attention of the masses. It doesn't help that the demo version on the front page is still B23 (the mac one, anyway).
On the other hand, with 300,000 followers, there is sure to be a small jump in interest, and the website server will almost certainly take a beating, but I just don't think this will make that much of a difference.

Don't underestimate the power of notchtweets, it single handedly made terraria the thing it is today.

hmm, but why is magicka this successful? they hadn’t got any ads, too, and neither a shoutout from notch.

Yogscast.

Also, the warning is more about the people that will come and complain about it. Hopefully we can treat them like people enough to explain things.

Holy ♥♥♥♥. Have they come yet? I don't see an influx of posts yet and it's been almost 24 hours.

At least these guys won't complain about how long the new builds take

I guess not, crisis averted.
