When about thousands of people visit a website linked on Slashdot at a time, killing the server.
They have a habit of posting links to small servers, and Slashdot has a huge readerbase, and everyone seems to click all the links...

I'll think I'll give them all a bit of slash, and put a dot on all this nonsense.

401 vs 99 ?!?!?! 
Unfortunately their members continue to rise and ours continue to fall. I predict that we shall fall at the hands of the evil Slashdottian army....

No biggie, only 95 responses so far.
Good thing there aren't that many MoO 3 fans there.
