Apolyton's going to be Slashdotted!
Apolyton was just linked as a front-page news-story on www.slashdot.org

Prepare for the Slashdot effect!

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.

If this was a real Slashdotting, Settler would be down and inaccessible by now... well, at least as far as I know... As of yet it's still quite responsive.
