    Site is back up now but it does appear to be getting hit hard....understandably so.:D

    Some people are such idiots and it's really sad that so-called adults are encouraging/supporting this girl in NOT returning someone else's property. It's no wonder so many young people end up in prison.:rolleyes:

    LOL, Digg sends a few thousands hits tops, that couldnt take down a blog. We taunted Slashdot at a convention to try and take us down, he never tried. The link effect is overrated by the general public. This guys traffic is due to literally hundreds of websites linking to him.

    TBH, I can't recall ever hearing of digg before:eek:

    Have to agree with you MA....there are so many blogs, websites etc. linking to it that's what's taking it down.

    Digg is a newer slashdot style site where people post the news and then they accept or reject it. Kevin Rose owns it from TechTV, good guy, but its a group of eliteist jerks like Slashdot, I have posted news and had it rejected, guess you gotta be one of their "regulars". Its worse then dealing with Macintosh users.

    I would welcome the challenge of bandwidth usage.

    What a way to get traffic, but you can bet the lawyers on both sides will be going at it for years to come.

    But talk about viral site promotion WOW.
