AndyMan 7 #4 January 22, 2004 A few monthes ago I coined the term "Dropzone effect", which can be defined as: "The Dropzone Effect is the sudden, relatively temporary surge in traffic to a Web site that occurs when dropzone.com user posts a story that refers visitors to another Web site. The effect gets its name from the Dropzone Web site, which provides content about skydiving and related activities, and sometimes features news about other related but less-traveled activities. However, the effect can be perceived when any large Web site posts a high-interest, widely-publicized story, about another site. The effect is obviously much more noticeable on smaller sites and the surge in traffic sometimes will slow a site down or make it impossible to reach." I prefer to think of it in terms of rending a perfectly good webserver into a molten mass of silicon goo. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

adamT 0 #6 January 22, 2004 If stuff goes down after being posted on this site it is probably becasue it is has been posted other places as well. The amount of people on this site doesn't even begin to touch some other sites out there: slashot, fark, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kris12 0 #9 January 22, 2004 There's also http://www.fark.com. They have coined their term farked.

AggieDave 6 #12 January 22, 2004 We're not nearly as bad as Fark or /. those sites crash servers, crashed to the point that they catch on fire and melt.

Push 0 #18 January 23, 2004 My favourite is the Penny Arcade version of it - wanged. There's something very funny about the verb "to wang" -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
