The modest spike is for No Pants and then the insane spike is for Grand Central.
Being on the front page of YouTube, Digg, Reddit, Boing Boing, Gawker, and more has generated an unbelievable amount of traffic to our site. Our tech guy, Agent Minter, has worked long hours buying us new temporary server space to handle the load. We’ve had 1.3TB of network traffic since Friday afternoon. Long story short, our bill is already several hundred dollars and will continue to grow. If you like what we do, please consider making a small donation to help us cover our costs. All money goes directly towards paying our bills and funding new missions.
Thank you for your support!
I’m getting an error on the link page, might need to repost it.

“We were unable to decrypt the certificate id.”
I fixed it. Thanks guys.
The servers have become self-aware. Even the certificate has an Id.
No problem, man, next time make it easier for me to give money please ;)

I just want you guys to know how much I and my friends enjoy what you are doing. We’re way down in central Arkansas and oh, how we wish we could be up in NYC for your missions! Keep up the fantastic work… I hope you get the donations you need. :)

Gotta love Blog Stats.
Just wanted to say that ‘Frozen Grand Central’ was incredible. Not only was it great acting … it was great Art.
Keep up the awesome work! ☺
The insane traffic spike for Frozen Grand Central is understandable. It is the first time anything like it has ever been done, where as the No Pants prank is in its 7th year. So people are sort of giggled out over the half naked subway rides.
Wow! Congrats, guys! I’ve never seen wordpress stats like that! o.o
xxxx!!!
Hi guys,
Congratulations from Paris, France. The Frozen Grand central is one the most amazing useless thing I’ve ever seen. A great piece of art. I wish I were there! Thanks for making my day.
I just saw your Grand Central project. It was great!
If you want to save some bandwidth and processing power, try the WP-Cache plugin for Wordpress.
It reduces the access to the database and speeds things up a bit.

IE has gone viral! Or global? Globally viral?
Seriously, you guys are almost as popular as the Australian house party guy who won’t take off his glasses (and way more clever!).
Er, I tried to make a donation and I think PayPal crapped out on me. I’ll check it later and see if it went through.

So you are in France? Maybe they aren’t shipping them internationally for some reason.
it’s not fair…
