So, here's my question.If your site gets Diggstroyed and you come up with a quick workaround to get it back online, have you Digger-rigged it?

There are a lot of high volume sites running on PHP. Maybe you should try giving a little more detail in the future (and a little less of a broad sweeping statement) about what problems you feel PHP has. Hint: You'll have to have some knowledge about PHP to be able to convincingly argue against it.btw: I wouldn't have normally noticed your comment since it's at -3, but I've got you marked as a friend, so I saw your comment. This suggests to me that you at least occasionally say things that are reasonably intelligent. I'm surprised you stated something so blatantly wrong here.

Can someone tell me why exactly WordPress is so unsuitable for heavy traffic? I did notice it does an awful lot of queries to load one page.

If you know you site is going to be dugg these are great ideas. I had a high traffic site link to my Word Press blog but didn't know until after the fact. It went down with the "Error establishing database". I finally got it to come up in the browser. I then did a quick "view source" in the browser, and copied the hard HTML code. I then made a index.html page replacing the index.php page. Left it online for a couple of hours until the traffic died down then put the index.php WordPress page back online.

Can't one also coral cache the site before submitting it to digg to have a guarenteed mirror? And then extra mirrors can't hurt. It's been debated before, but it'd be nice if digg appended .nyud.net:8080 to the domain after it realizes that the site it is trying to navigate to is taking longer than say 30 seconds. Anyone for a diggcache.com?
