What the &&^$*# is WWW.FARK.COM - they crashed my server!!!
 
http://www.fark.com - Link to the thread about the Honda being impaled - 17,000 people viewed it within about a half-hour and brought this entire server down.

???

Had me thinking we were under attack from someone who didn't like me!

Remember that video of the guy destroying the 911? I hosted it on my site, and flowed 150Gb of traffic in a day and a half. Cost me $4400 in bandwidth overages!

Wayne 962 01-22-2004 06:46 AM

Yeah, I shut down that thread and moved it to OT...

wow... you got linked by 'fark'.

nice move with the referrer check, polite message to farkers, and bounce to the driveworks site.

Wayne 962 01-22-2004 06:54 AM

Still, that bounce is killing my bandwidth...

This makes me want to see it! Too bad I missed.

wayne, i guess you gotta ask yourself if bouncing to 'driveworks' is worth the cost of the bandwidth.

www.fark.com is a news site for people who don't really want the news. Lots of the geeks here that I work with watch fark for news of the odd, weird, off the wall, etc.... When people find cool or interesting links they submit them to fark

And then complain because their link never gets posted... yup, I'm a farker too (but not a totalfarker)...
