The Flickr Blog apologies for recent hiccups, and earns plaudits from users for so doing:

> We’d like to apologize. The last few weeks have been pretty brutal for the Flickr team. Switching hardware platforms on a live site with hundreds of moving parts that’s serving thousands of requests each second (literally) is *hard*. Unpleasantly hard. \[[FlickrBlog](https://blog.flickr.com/flickrblog/2005/07/sometimes%5Fwe%5Fsu.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]
