TagsTagsAnother Digg swarm brought us down for a few minutes there; the new server is supposed to be provisioned sometime today, and then we can start balancing the load for this situation. Thanks for your patience in the meantime, and here’s an open thread... UPDATE at 2/22/07 11:10:14 am: And by the ...
Gulp. Those Digg links are working just a liiiittle bit too well. Help is on the way; we’ve ordered a second machine to distribute some of the load as soon as possible. When the new server’s in place, we should be able to withstand these surges without much noticeable latency. ...

Our new Digg links are working better than we could have imagined; we’re having another major traffic surge tonight because another LGF post made it to the Digg front page: Digg - German Muslims Seething at Carnival Parade. UPDATE at 2/21/07 8:01:37 am: I should point out that even though Digg makes ...

Seems like LGF can only find ‘news’ about Muslims/Hezbollah/Fatah/... to comment ...

Raging antisemitism at Digg.com, in a post that accepts as fact the ridiculously paranoid Arab report about mysterious Little Green Zionist death balloons: Digg - Israel Planes Dump ‘suspicious Green Balloons’ On Southern Lebanon. (Please digg this post.)

LGF is running a bit slowly at the moment because, in addition to our normal traffic and yesterday’s link at the New York Times (which is still generating hits), our post about the New Year’s Intifada in France made it onto the front page of digg.com. You can see all ...
Allahpundit has a good post on the need for center-right (or whatever we want to call them) blog readers to become aware of increasingly popular “link farm” sites like Digg—because right now they’re heavily dominated by the Angry Left: Digg it: How you can help conservative blogs. There’s a handy link ...
The ignorant lefties who frequent Digg (“I don’t know anything about CAIR but LGF is a racist hate site just like Stormfront!”) are having a major hate-fest about us, in an article linked to our story about CAIR’s efforts to shut down a Minnesota radio station’s humorous skit: digg - ...
