UPDATE for webdev nerds: We realized we meant “403 Forbidden” rather than “401 Not Authorized”.

We have what sounds like bad news for Beeminder supernerds who use fanciness like exponential roads, but hear us out! We’re getting rid of exponential roads. I know, gasp! We’ve already migrated the small number of exponential roads... »
