Overleaf was down a few hours before the EMNLP and NeurIPS deadlines. Today, OpenReview is down a few days before the end of the discussion period (note that we need to post rebuttals a few days before the deadline in order to engage reviewers with the discussion).

If these are due to server load, I think it’s time to revisit whether our research platforms can handle the increasing load and submissions for the coming years.
