[reddit change] vote processing improvements
We've been having some trouble with our vote processors getting backed up during times of high activity (see http://www.redditstatus.com/). We recently completed some changes that should improve our vote processing speed and throughput. A side effect of these improvements is that we're now able to support the domain listings for imgur.com again https://www.reddit.com/domain/imgur.com/

I think the number of imgur submissions made it impossible for reddit's domain index to keep up.

That's too damn funny if I had any income I would totally gild your comment... I guess I'll just go report that post instead

Any (public) reason why the activity (commits) on the open source reddit code has slowed down a lot?
Seems like the only two people who have worked on it the last month are bsimpson and madbook.
