Slammed By My Slammed By A Spammer Story?
from the oops dept
Ah, the chain of events. I put up my
slammed by a spammer story yesterday morning. I sent a copy of it to Declan McCullough over at Politech, because he often writes about spam. He picked it up and put it on his Politech list
this morning. A reader of that list, apparently submitted it to Slashdot where
it was posted, and thousands of people came to Techdirt. We've been Slashdotted twice before, without much of a problem, but for some reason, this time hit us much harder. It wasn't a bandwidth issue, but we were maxing out on the number of simultaneous connections. We've boosted that number, which seems to have helped. Also, the traffic seems to have slowed as Slashdot finally posted another story. So, the site was pretty slow for a while, but should be better now... Sorry about all that.
