I predict there will be no crash because the website's been fortified. And it's been fortified because, this year, the APA's instituting a new game. The job ads will be posted on the site, but not all in the same place. And the various places on the site where the jobs are posted will be hidden! Candidates will, in principle, be able to find them, but only if they recognize and follow the clues strewn about the site. The challenge then will be not simply to find the jobs but to do so in time to submit application materials before the closing deadline. Ads which require only hard copy materials will be the most difficult to find. Good luck to all!
Observations from an old cranky jerk who happens to be a professional philosopher. Occasionally philosophical, most often just vulgar. Sometimes focused on sober points of logic and issues in political theory, but more frequently fixed on nonsense. Bad metal bands, crappy guitarists, stupid lyrics, celebrities, pop "culture," telemarketers, irrationality, and other annoyances. Always misanthropic. Anti-religious. Not particularly amusing, either. Some might say insulting. Strange mail. Kook magnet. Doom. Comments from other cranky jerks, young and old.

You've linked to the summer ads, not JPF 191 web only.

Crash? I predict that the APA website will come to life and wage actual, physical war on every philosophy Ph.D. in America.

Are you suggesting that Canadian philosophy PdDs are somehow complicit with the APA website?
The total crash has begun. I'm unable to load the homepage fully, and none of the links work for me.
Likewise, Zarathustra; www.apaonline.org just gets me to an error screen, telling me I "lack permission to view this content." Le sigh.
