LOL hacked. Sure. :P

More like 10 million people suddenly tried accessing the site at the same time.

I have no idea why they weren't advertising the fact that you could have filled out the online version days ago (or next week).

in the past the instructions read to do it in the evening.
the letter with our logon code said to do it on Tuesday. so i did ours in the morning, suspecting that government departments being what they are had probably not tested for a couple of million people trying to log on in the evening. I worked as a programmer and operator in 3 Federal departments, that gave me insights most don't have
why so many left it til the evening to do it i don'tn know. some/ a lot could have done it on their phones or lap tops in their lunch break during the day.

I can relate with you. With the budget cut all across the nation, I'm not too surprised if the system didn't get properly tested, or if the testers found problems but got pressures from the big fish to just sign off the system.
