Made front page for the Ultimate Gameroom section

http://games.slashdot.org/games/03/08/22/1324215.shtml?tid=127&tid=186

Too bad it literally kiled the site... (Im guessing this is why the forum has been soo slow or doesnt work at all)

Its also too bad the morons took over the comments section on SD and took it off topic

but this is some big-time publicity esp with the front page link on the first day

Congrats

Hasn't DP (or portions of it) been Slashdotted before?

Anyway, yeah, the comments stray far and wide. Joe's married, yet numerous comments abound along the lines of HUR HUR ALL THOSE GAMES NO ROOM FOR GIRLFRIEND. Which I suppose is kind of true, what with a wife and all, unless you're supposed to keep an extra woman under the bed or something.

And I thought that the Alter Ego forum was just popular beyond anyone's wildest expectations...

Thanks DNG.

Well it's a mixed blessing really. On the one hand you get lots of new people checking in, which is good for the community. On the other hand traffic brings everything to a crawl. If it had happened during the week I would have worked faster at getting the pages re-routed but I was too busy Saturday and figured that by today things would have died down. They didn't, so now I'm busy re-routing pages again.

Congrats, indeed. :P

I believe that it shouldn't be "Congrats on being slashdotted" it should be "Congrats on being slashfucked" :)

Good job on getting noticed all the same :)

You know what else sucks? I copied all of those pics over to the powweb.com mirror (videogamearchive.com) and exceeded my bandwidth there in a matter of hours. Now that's been shut down! LOL

Ah well. At least we're almost back to normal speed. Almost.
