We were slashdotted to death

On July 4th you may have noticed that the site was down for a little while. Well, it appears the guys at Slashdot.org that it would be cool to link to our Star Wars Lego file *WITHOUT* our permission.

Needless to say, it pushed our bandwidth over the limit and I'm pissed. We had to buy more bandwidth this month (which means no more video, at least this month). The thing that pisses me off the most, is that we only got a mirror link. They didn't ask us, they just linked directly to the file, so the leechers went directly to the file, and NEVER saw the rest of the site. They missed the blog, the radio station and the forums.

They know about the slashdot effect, and yet they didn't care. This is why I don't visit Slashdot.

I'd like more people to visit the site, especially in a slashdot manner, just not leechers. I'd like folks to visit in Slashdot numbers, and come enjoy the site and the forum and stick around. Not just fly in like vultures, take what they want and leave.

Man I'm pissed. The one time we get numbers like that, and they sneak in the back door. :(
