Because people are idiots...

The deadline for getting on the electoral register if you want to vote in the EU referendum has been extended to midnight tomorrow. No doubt hundreds of people will still be trying at one second to midnight, since there are a lot of idiots around, but if you actually want to vote and haven't already registered I'd suggest trying ASAP.

Reminds me of the Friday evening rush when I was Hugo administrator, both on the last day of nominating and the last day of voting. (Our website didn't crash.)

You didn't have a couple of hundred thousand idiots using it.
