Slashdotted :(

[Qwerpafw]

It is really frustrating to me when small(er) websites get linked to on the main page of slashdot.

I go to see what the latest news is, click on the link to read the article, and then ... wait. After a bit, I get an internal error or, for geocities sites, a flat out denial of access (along with some BS about "quotas").

This is a real issue, no matter how many people eventually post linkage to google caches or submit plaintext. In fact, it dilutes the slashdot experience itself. How many people just drop it after the link is returned "invalid?" Quite a few, I imagine. In fact, this is even more true with articles like this with almost no text, forcing the reader to rely on the broken link.

"ooh!" One thinks. "Game developers! Cool!" But then it just sucks.

Perhaps, now that slashdot is (to some, at least) a paying service, a feature of mirroring slashdotted sites could be offered to subscribers. This could generate additional income, not to mention fixing the now endemic problem of overvisited sites.
