I think you'll need to implement a queue of some sort. if it's locked while the message is being edited, then any amount of serious traffic will block the whole thing and turn people away. So instead of leaving a message for the next person, put a message in the queue, and each time somebody visits grab the next message in the queue. |

I respectfully disagree and stand by my design decisions.
I've seen projects like the one posted to HN somewhat recently where the guy would accept any PR on a GitHub repo.
This way, you get to leave a message for only one single person in the world. (This also takes care of people posting terrible things on my own website :-)
Yes, while there's a significant traffic, the site is basically unusable, but at the same time this was inevitable if I wanted to let people know about this project.
I recommend saving the link and coming back when the crowd clears up :-)
