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.

 Frank says:

I feel it's better to sing about these things ourselves and perform them with the people who it happened to than to have some journalist one day say 'then in 1971, one time when they were at the mudshark hotel...' But people have problems with things of a glandular nature in connection with things of a musical nature. They say why, music is way up here, and glands are way down there and they can't get 'em together, but then they are hypocritical because they take a band that doesn't sing about such things directly and couches their language a little and does it with a little choreography and say that that's great and that's real rock and roll. I maintain that there's no difference, we're just honest enough to get up and say 'this is this and that's that and here you are and respond to it' and the response is 'why... I'm hip, but of course I am offended'.
