    ... that GTA 3 would be an awesome setting for a MMORPG. Frankly, I'm sick of being a wizard or Jedi.

      Well there was talk of one when GTA3 was in developmnet. In EDGE magazine #?? (UK), one of Rockstars PR guys (I think it was an old ZZap 64 Journo Gary Penn) said they were planning calling it CrimeWorld.

      I guess they weren't planning on its phenomenal success and have put it on the back burner while they milk the singleplayer versions.

    I was just about to post that. I think Slashdot need to re-evaluate their stance on site caching.

    Before anyone chirps in with RTFR or whatever, surely more effort can be made in conjuction with the owners of the site to temporarily cache the site to illeviate the effects of being posted on Slashdot.

    This not only will help keep web servers up, but also apparently not cost site owners an assload of money.
