I really like how Weasyl handles itself.
Seems very quick and professional.
Some of the features take a while to get used to, but once you get used to it, it's all good.
Keep it up!
I've been really curious if they'll be able to handle the strain of a serious flow of submissions and user traffic too. Will definitely be interesting to see over the next month or so how well it all holds up.
I'm more interested in how they handle the social network aspect of things - keeping users in line and bopping trolls and such. I don't think the technical challenges are especially difficult, personally. Running a site as large as FA should be simple enough from a programming and data management point of view - assuming the people running it know WTF they're doing.
Still needs to be mobile/tablet friendly though. You can't "mouse over" on a touch-only device. And android users especially who are using something other than Firefox or IE. Though Google Nexus uses a version of Chrome for obvious reasons. My Kindle Fire HD Tablet can't show certain data due to how you have to mouse over the thumbnails to see it.

Please keep posting art here, I want to see how they handle it when there's 8+ million submissions and thousands of trolls. =)
