    <CmdrTaco> Wiki is silly. Not scalalble.

    A few months later, Wikipedia surpassed slashdot in popularity. And while slashdot (and everything2.com) struggle with slow response time and strange errors, wikipedia has uptimes that would make a viagra-popping porn star envious. Wikis are scalable, Malda is just a shitty programmer.
