Civfanatics.net has been dugg!

It's on the front page too. This will definitely bring down civfanatics.net for a while due to increased traffic. The digg effect is pretty much a non-malicious DDoS attack.

What does this mean? I've heard of digging a site before, but I still don't know what it means or what it is about.

I'm with Mirc. Huh?

Digg.com has been Civfanaticked!

It's on site feedback too. This will definitely bring down digg.com for a while due to increased traffic. The civfanatic effect is pretty much a non-malicious DDoS attack.

In case anyone doesn't like clicking on evil links here's the map he is talking about. It's a big one.

What i don't understand is why the link has "civfanatics" in it ?

I'm guessing you think people from that site will notice this and come to our site (?) Or what

Out of curiosity, did you [DaveMcW] mean to post almost exactly like the Dr.?

Edit: Apparently there's no mods online atm, as I was going to point them this way.

Methos, he's mocking the so-called "digg effect", trying to say that CFC is more important and has more influence than digg.

 

[Dr. Yoshi]

I'm simply giving everyone a heads up as to why civfanatics.net has slowed down today. Am I the only one who has had files hosted on civfanatics.net load noticeably slower?

 

[Maniacal]

Nope, no sloe down for me. Besides, they just discovered Cybernations and made about 2000 new nations.

 

[Thunderfall]

I wonder who uploaded it.

Anyway, it shouldn't be problem in terms of bandwidth, though I did re-save that file to reduce the file size.

 

[LLXerxes]

Poor Thunderfall, all those digg commentors aren't really appreciating it at all. They're actually being kind of rude.

Oh well. Congrats to CFC, I guess.

It's a nice map, to give them credit.

Isn't uploading an image here for outlinking against the rules?

 

[ggganz]

So what is going on becuse I have no idea. Still.

 

[BCLG100]

Well its finished now

 

[TheLoneMan]

So the digg effect's replaced the Slashdot effect?

Too bad...

 

[ggganz]

I still want to know what the heck digg.com is.

 

[Red Door]

Why don't you check it out yourself or Wiki it?
