Wow. People on digg really seem to hate blogs and forums

**Smyrl** · #3 Dec 5th 2006, 8:32 pm

DP fell out of favor with Digg when a group of DP members tried to set up a Digg group to Digg each other's posts.

Old news, buried

Isn't it kind of good because .. didn't digg traffic crash dp once?

T0PS3O · #8 Dec 6th 2006, 2:49 am

The forums twice and Shawn's blog another 2 or 3 times. The current servers should be able to withstand it all though.

Oh no! Where would we be without the scores of spotty angry teenagers visting the forum?

Matt Mickiewicz · #10 Dec 6th 2006, 4:51 pm

We had the same thing happen - twice! It took quite a lot of effort to get reinstanted.

Blogs are not welcome on digg. It's against their TOS.

Until this very moment I thought Digg was intended for blog posts.

I had no idea either, I have submitted my blogs several times, and often blog other peoples diggs..

Are they talking about some DP members here or other groups?

World's Most Expensive Digg
Someone dugg this article in the forums, it made it to digg.com's front page and within about 10 minutes the flood of digg users pushed the already overworked servers over the edge and seized up MySQL's 1,000 concurrent connections (not an easy feat). So that digg was the final straw for me, and now its time for new hardware.

lol

dp users have abused digg, simple as that

i believe DP is banned before that...

**digitalpoint** · #18 Dec 7th 2006, 9:05 pm

I'm kind of glad digitalpoint.com is banned from digg.com to be honest.. prevents people from posting stupid threads and submitting them to digg. Makes Digital Point look crappy.

Seiya · #19 Dec 8th 2006, 6:49 am

Agreed, you dont need digg when a good thread appears on first or second page in google for the term anyway.
