As much as I'm sympathetic to a small team getting a spike in traffic, I stand by that comment... It's a pretty big "fail" when a huge rush of users trying to register results in... nobody being able to register. At the very least they could have been capturing the emails for later follow-up. How many of those people will remember to come back later and sign up again?

The signup button goes to a "Internal Server Error" as described above. He wasn't bashing anyone.
I think it's the concluding "Fail". It's a bit over the top in terms of tone.

I'm not saying the substance of your comment is incorrect.
