I just started a club and the uploader let me put up a 160x200, 94kb avatar for it.
And now going further into cloudcuckooland:
Club management is effectuated over on beta.imagefap.com, which has pretty much been forgotten about (at least by me) as an alternate "front door to the site" URL. The link to upload, if it's as relatively transparent as it is from our gallery pages or profile pages, is coming from there where there's next to nobody doing anything at any given time Giving it about 3 seconds of thought, my educated guess is that it's the traffic from www.imagefap.com that, for some unknown reason, is creating the problem.
Real-world analogy (which like all such of mine promises to be a little fantastic): It's like a whole bus load of people are trying to fit through double doors, like they've always done every day of the week every hour of the day since anyone can remember. All of a sudden the front of the building peels off from all the stress. But the back door still works.

Edit: I logged out of www, logged in thru beta, and clicked on the Upload link from my profile page. The Uber-Uploader main page came up in a snap. BRB -- wanna try uploading into a gallery next...
(6 1/2 mins later) A little lag, maybe 3 or 4 seconds, and the U-U page came up. Uploading now and getting speeds in the 80-110k/s range WITH progress bar. (8 mins later) Okay, Processing's done. Now let's see how the thumbs made out.
(9 1/2) Thumbs load fine, and they all seem to link OK.

(36 minutes) Froze up -- there goes another theory down the tubes.
