  • Merkidemis, on 10/10/2007, -22/+151STOP POSTING AND DIGGING LINKS TO WORDPRESS SITES! PLEASE! More then 8 people may want to look at it.
  • SwissCamel, on 10/10/2007, -6/+96My local church has done something similar to the new altar boy robes.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+84Site down already weeeee digg. http://bestpicever.com/pic-1027-New-restaurant-napkins mirror
  • implied, on 10/10/2007, -6/+82Digg needs a scale from 1-5 or something on risk for browsing these pics at work. It's not always porn, but the wrong person seeing this over your shoulder could cause some problems.
  • SonicRush, on 10/10/2007, -6/+64I don't think my fiance would approve of a Wordpress Error either.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+49It would be best you do not watch those kind of picture during your PowerPoint presentation in front of 30 coworkers.
  • Vanadium, on 10/10/2007, -4/+33I hate all the anti-wordpress comments. This isn't the fault of wordpress, it is the fault of site maintainers not ready for the digg effect. Wordpress can be easily tuned to handle the digg effect with minimal effort. There are many tutorials out there to do so. I've been dugg to the front page and my wordpress blog was never once down. The load average on my sever was very minimal. It is all about server side caching.

  • HypocriteDigg, on 10/10/2007, -4/+32I don't get it. It's ok to waste time surfing the internet at work, but a picture like this is where you cross the line?
  • TenebrousX, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25subliminal?
  • thegreypilgrim, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22Wordpress can easily handle a digg effect. ***** hosting services can't. Try pointing your finger in the right place next time...
  • FMDC, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18My wife just left me for having an affair with my napkin...

    Then I got a papercut and went crawling back to her.
  • jtbandes, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18It's the server, not WP.
  • DewKnight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14You should have said: Stop posting and digging links to wordpress sites WITHOUT wp-cache!
  • Jibberwalk, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13It's called a lunch break. Say you get back early. You've still got 10 minutes to kill. Why not browse the internet while you're on your personal time?
  • thebusdriver, on 10/10/2007, -5/+15I hate wordpress so much
  • MellerTime, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I'd say your family dynamics will eventually lead to some form of heavy therapy...
  • parsap, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Just out of curiosity, why doesn't Wordpress do this by default?
  • Danikar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I think it is more of an issue of someone walking behind u and sees your looking at a 'weird' picture.
  • ahawks, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Ok, I say it is WordPress's fault.

    This happens frequently. I assume one of the features you can enable to make it handle such load is caching a static copy.

    Why doesn't WordPress automatically detect increasing load for a specific article, and automatically generate a static copy?
  • mhuggins, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Merkidemis blocked for naivety. If those who dugg him up could please make yourselves known, I'd appreciate it.
  • jupi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5exactly.
    This guys obviously don't get it. They're too mad they don't get to see what others have seen that they feel so left out that they go blaming what they see on the error page. Sad part is he's getting dugg up meaning a lot of people are into this ill-informed blaming game.
  • HigherLogic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I blame the site's owner for (a) choosing a bad hosting company and (b) not optimizing WordPress (or any CMS for that matter) to handle large amounts of traffic (caching, reducing useless database calls, etc.).
  • umbriago, on 10/10/2007, -9/+14Nor would she approve of your spelling, "genious."
  • crushfan, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Read this way: I BLAME WORDPRESS FOR WHENEVER A SITE IS DOWN. EVEN IT'S A DRUPAL OR A CUSTOM CMS BASED WEBLOG, IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE I JUST SEE THAT WORDPRESS ERROR PAGE WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES. I BLAME WORDPRESS, STAND BY ME! *****, YEAH!

    Code a new CMS then, genius?
  • h4ppydotcom, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7On a scale of 1-5, I think I'd give this a "1 - feel free to watch with mother".
  • jupi, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7I guess people don't get what 'wordpress' is. It's not wordpress' fault.
    Give one good example why wordpress would crash more than any other CMS or framework. If wordpress didn't have an error page I bet people would not go blaming wordpress.
    Stop dissing if you don't know what you're talking about.

    digg me down but your comment's really annoying.
  • Merkidemis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Thanks for the clarifications. After seeing that error multiple times a day, every day, for years at some point you just kinda snap. Seems I see WP errors more then others though, even timeout messages.
  • hmugabe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3real classy. sure beats regular kleenex.
    p.s. genious spelling, genious
  • thethorn, on 10/10/2007, -4/+7your mom.
  • IIIKrazyKiDDIII, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Some people dont read or see everything thats posted, probably because of Digg's hokey Visual UI. You dont have to be a jerk to this person, just digg the comment down since it is irrelevant.
  • sladek, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2why are you digging him down, this link is tonnes better than the main subject pic
  • notruthingod, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:O-gxukagq_YJ:www.pantherhouse.com/newshelton/so-i-got-to-double-up-in-case-the-condom-snap/+http://www.pantherhouse.com/newshelton/so-i-got-to-double-up-in-case-the-condom-snap&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us

  • kyle9013, on 10/10/2007, -6/+8So You go to the restaurant, you pick up your napkin... WordPress?
    I dont Get it =[

    ***** you wordpress.
    ha.
  • GoneSouth, on 10/10/2007, -12/+13Death to the next person who submits a link to wordpress.
  • Narfmaster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If anything, WPCache makes Wordpress less likely to go down due to the digg effect.
  • FreakyD, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Damn man, I wipe my mouth with that
  • sndp, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2That static copy would still be hosted on the user's own server (which gets KO'd by the traffic). If the blog is hosted on wordpress.com I could understand the hate, but how is this any different than someone using Blogger to host on a non-blogspot host and it getting dugg? Is it just that wordpress offers an error page instead of not loading at all?
  • Merkidemis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I have made my own CMS. Its really not that hard.
  • gkeirns, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Its not wordpress as much as its the ***** server thats hosting it.
  • migvel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1DAMN!! ME TOO!!
  • HigherLogic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Because the vast majority of users who install WordPress (or any other CMS) are lucky if they see 100 visitors in a month or write anything worthwhile. And if they do happen to get dugg, maybe they aren't expecting it. Not everyone needs caching enabled, just like not everyone needs an MPMs or server-level caching. I will agree that caching should be a configuration option though, perhaps something you setup when you install it.
  • kent1146, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Oooh...

    WordPress
    Error establishing a database connection

    Someone, somewhere, is masturbating to that.
  • HigherLogic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1PHP has no problem with caching, and there are plenty of caching plugins available for WordPress and for PHP.
  • damm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1WordPress isn't designed to automagically generate a static copy. PHP isn't designed either to cache the generated page.

    It's two fold, you can look into xcache for PHP to help out, you can configure Wordpress to handle the load by using static pages.

    Or... you can use typo and let it do it for you automatically.
  • SmokinWeed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Not me.
  • SmokinWeed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Not me.
  • SmokinWeed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Maybe you should get back to work.
  • KingGorilla, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Eh, it took me a while to figure out what it was
  • allisonaxe, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1you pick up your napkin and wordress error?
  • SweetChinMusic, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3They could never do this in America.
