- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+49Why bury him? This is obviously spam that comes a few times a month.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+263kbps, huh? wow thats blazing.
- opensourcemaven, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26the (gs) is NOT THE SAME THING AS SHARED HOSTING. it's a grid server damnit.. completely different.
- jimparker, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Lets blow this thing up. They think they can handle DIGG i doubt it. Digg this ***** lets see what happens.
- Celeron, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17That's his referal link. He's trying to cash in on Digg users.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Then how do people manage to visit digg.com all the time?
- kodek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11You're gonna get owned by your browser's cache.
- SirSid, on 05/27/2009, -3/+13Its already been shown that digg makes you less money on ads then you think. Some people think the worst of others *sigh*
- Glenn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I've been Dugg to the homepage of digg 5 times during the past week and the Grid-Server held up perfect on each and every Digg.
- canadianguy33, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12I find it funny that the first poster was dugg down.
I find it even funnier that the so called 'tech savvy' community of digg are amazed by the 'digg effect' and how many so many crappy articles about 'how to survive getting dugg...how I survived digg....how getting dugg affected my site etc..' get on the homepage of this site.
The difference between your site going down and 'surviving' a digg is only a couple bucks a month. It's not rocket surgery.
Where have all the real digg geeks gone? - timdorr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10It's a cluster, not a grid. The two are a different concept.
And it's shared. You're on the same machines as other people. You do not get your own box to yourself. - cds0528, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11@calebb
it's still working fine for me... - ericnmu, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10I made sure to type the url manually, after seeing the lame referral link.
- Abjure, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Odd, its still loading reasonably quick for me.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Ditto. Not quite sure why.
It loads in about 10 seconds. - rabbott, on 10/12/2007, -0/+67:11 PM PST still up.
Loaded after about 40 seconds...
My company's site is also on the grid server at Media Temple.
See how i didn't include a link to my site? it's because people should learn you don't always have to do shameless plugs. :) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7The stress the servers are taking is probably more than what the current number of diggs would suggest, because some people are probably constantly refreshing just to see if anything's changed. Just something to keep in mind.
- HanSolo69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5took a while to load for me. (10:21 PM EST) and i don't really mind if this is spam, it's kind of interesting to see if the Digg effect can do its worst, even if someone profits off some referral links. post a link to your own blog and i'll Digg it.

Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at internal-db.s1000.gridserver.com. This could mean your host's database server is down.
whooops
EDIT: Annnd it's back - Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6might be spam
but lets just do a little bull busting ourselves and see if this digg offer holds up - jo42, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5He guys, can you help me load test my site?
Here is the URL: http://127.0.0.1/ - Notluf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Well, 226 Diggs in and the site is loading for me. Even after loading the site in 10 different tabs, only two timed out and needed a refresh, which when refreshed they came right up. Impressive.
Oh, and average response time was below ten seconds per tab. - haastyle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4lol open mad tabs gogogogo
- SirSid, on 05/27/2009, -2/+5Lol my thoughts exactly
- HanSolo69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3open it in multiple tabs at once.
- bluemist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Loads in 1 second.
Needs more diggs. - autobeef, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is pretty interesting .. I signed up for MediaTemple (gs) account for this very reason a few days after they announced it. Looks like they still have some work to do:

This could mean your host's database server is down. - SubWolf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3At 637 acting like wp-config.php doesn't even exist.
- moock1337, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3387 diggs and loaded fast the first time, but when I refreshed it took a little longer. Loading time seems to be sporadic.
- randomvictim, on 10/12/2007, -9/+12It appears to be down already. False advertisement! /lawsuit.
edit: Nevermind, it just took 36 seconds to load. I have a 15/2 MB/S connection as well, so it isn't me. - TrueJournals, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Nothing yet... guess we'll have to wait and see...
- MalDON, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Actually they do... And media temple is awesome, I use it. The new gs hosting is simply brilliant.
- gregpalmer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm not having a problem either. My sites are also hosted on gridserver and I've not seen slowdowns.
- bluemist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Also try Opera's auto-reload function.
- jurand, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Use ReloadEvery extension for Firefox instead.
- redalert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If your trying to do a digg stress test you dont do it at 10:00 when theres not a lot of digg traffic, you do it at 12-3 when most people check digg.
- haastyle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3umm i opened about 100+ tabs it seem to be coming up slowly on all, just 1 slowly after another, but it working
- o2o2o2o2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5RELOAD...Keep reloading! Kill it!
Command + R = Macintosh
Ctrl+R = Windows - ojk007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3not really, as most digg users never click on ads any.
IF this was for ad revenue, hes screwing himself over, as his CPM will go so far down its not funny - kabewm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2it's finally d. e. d. dead.
- tuxidomasx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4geez. its so slow
i've seen better performance with $5/month shared hosted pages that've made it to the front page - calebb, on 10/12/2007, -9/+11183 diggs. Site is timing out
- fredkreuger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Magic!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Right click on tab and hit reload all tabs.
- alexandreracine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21and1?
Not good!
1and1.com - The good, the bad and the ugly.
http://drupal.org/node/66327 - RyanWilliams, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Goin' strong.
- digitalme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2he did it at 8am... reached the front page around 6pm...
- 40-Dan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2ooops. guess the only thing I do worse than typing is thinking.
- darkamster07, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2still loading fine for me. took about 2.5 sec (Oct 30, 2006, 9:47pm)
