I always need to hit the page twice to make it load. Dreamhost aren't the most responsive of hosts, apparently. On the other hand, they were dirt cheap and I like their TOS.
I think maybe the next time you have a ficathon, announce that the deadline for Americans is the night before it really is and then add at the bottom that Aussies have until the actual deadline Australian time (whichever Australian time zone you're in). Americans will just ignore anything that says it's just for Aussies, but the Europeans will pay attention to the whole post. :-)
