Traffic Jam Wednesday

Our dedicated server is staggering under a load of traffic again, but this time it’s not from Digg.com; we’ve been linked on the front page of fark.com, and the deluge is similar…

UPDATE at 2/28/07 3:23:37 pm:

And by the way, I’ve been getting emails from quite a few people complaining about a new delay in loading LGF, just in the past few days — I discovered the cause of this and fixed it, so things should be a bit snappier now.

UPDATE at 2/28/07 3:36:50 pm:

And another piece of good news: the stalkers at lgfwatch have been blocked from submitting their posts at Digg.com, for violating Digg’s terms of service. Attempting to submit a post from there now gives this message:

URL blocked

This URL has been reported by users to be in violation of Digg’s Terms of Service and cannot be submitted at this time.

Pardon me while I enjoy the sweet, sweet taste of schadenfreude. (Hat tip: Shock & Blog.)

UPDATE at 2/28/07 5:16:26 pm:

The Fark post that links to LGF has a pretty hilarious Photoshop contest: FARK.com: (2620019) Theme: More fake photos from the Middle East, republished in the L.A. Times.
