@rudeturkI put this site up. The site just switched to a new dedicated server a few days ago, and apparently no one had gotten around to optimizing Apache. It should load fine again.
Actually, the LESS Diggs a story has upon reaching the frontpage, the more likely it is that the server will go down.Why? Less Diggs indicate the story has been on the frontpage for less time, thereby being a newer story and further towards the top of the page, and receiving more traffic in the same period of time than stories further down the page, all leading to more strain on the server.

when I was 5... The most popular search engine was running off of some Pentium 2's? Dear Jesus. That's just disgraceful. I sure hope they've upgraded.

Did I see "PowerPC" on one of those servers? IBM made Mac servers back then?
