lardiop Veteran Posted October 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted October 28, 2004 Direct copy and paste out of the article I wrote yesterday. Nobody else had Firefox 1.0 RC1 info for around 2-3 hours after we did! http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/10/28/0517240 (Y)... Nice but would have been better if they gave credit or a source link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djmutik1013 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Slasdotted means when you get so many people too view a website and it goes down that is the slasdot effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japlabot Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Being Slashdotted is the act of your server being under strain as a result of being sourced on Slashdot, not the mere fact that it's on there in itself. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=slashdotted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
