Teen Cancels Party After 200,000 RSVP On Facebook
autospa writes "An Australian teen who had to shut down an event page on Facebook after more than 200,000 people RSVP'd for her sweet 16 party now has more than 70,000 people signed up to attend her new party. The girl named Jess called police Monday to say her Facebook account had been hijacked after thousands said they'd attend her birthday party in Chatswood March 26."
You missed the point. The 'news for nerds' isn't the Facebook hijinks, it's the party at a 16 year-old girls house.
C'mon, ya neckbeards! JB ahoy!

I'm glad she can, indeed.
Do we really need news about facebook every day?
I took a break from slashdot for a few years, came back a year ago, and seriously, this site is sucking even more now.
facebook is anything but nerd like. It's way too fucking popular. it's programed in a style most of us would never do, and honestly, the site probably offends most of us.
Unless the story is facebook crashes and burns and someone forgot to make backups, please spare us.
Seriously, fuck facebook and it's stupid news stories that shouldn't be on this site.
No, Fuck YOU SLASHDOT for being a lame fucking site these days.
News for nerds? You even know what a fucking nerd is?
Do you even know what NEWS is?
Be seeing you...
Has it gone a series of tubes, perhaps?
There's no -1 for "I don't get it."
As a nerd I think there's plenty of angles to this story...4chan's alleged "hijacking" of the event, the way the internet changes the dynamics of an open invitation event, but most importantly the way that the Aussie government is handling what most of us would consider a prank. It's also amusing to see how misinterpreted the notion of one's account h(ij)acked is by less seasoned users.
Also, it's very, very funny.
Charisma is the measure of someone's ability to lie with a straight face.
16? Eh, that's really more of a 4chan thing.
Now if it was a LAN party... well! This is the perfect place to come for ideas on setting up a 100,000 client network!
Let's slashdot it!

To be fair, you really should have a few years experience handling a weapon before you try to do it drunk.
