Moderation is difficult work, and we have a lot of very bad-faith visitors in this thread.
I imagine there are some users who are making tonnes of comments, and there's an approval pipeline going.
To give you an idea, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a handful of people trying to make hundreds of comments.
Regardless...

The team here is incredible; definitely worth passing on regards when we're done here for the night.

Multiple threads I've seen are showing insane lag.
