Hey guys, just wanted to give you all a heads up of why the forum went down HARD last week.

Ill keep it short and sweet, we simply got Digg-ed.
A render of a Korean girl made the front page of Digg and the rest is is history.


Anyway, the all clear horn has sounded, so spread the word.

Digg is the internet's latest version of the popularity contest.

I'm not a fan. My blog got digged. People are asses.

Digg.com is basically a message board where people post links to sites or articles of interest on the interweb, this can generate huge amounts of traffic to your site in a short space of time and kill your servers or webhost dead really quickly.

"Farked" or "Slashdotted" refers to the same thing
