Thanks for the links.
***** Wordpress. You know I have NEVER seen a WORKING wordpress blog. I've seen hundreds of wordpress errors. That is by far the worst blogging software ever made. - cjsan, on 10/11/2007, -4/+63http://deadspin.com/sports/us-open/finally-we-know-why-phil-mickelson-didnt-choose-football-or-rugby-as-his-profession-269518.php
- hadimirza, on 03/26/2008, -12/+71I think ive seen this before on digg....
oh well - JonnyTrombone, on 10/11/2007, -3/+55Digg is now becoming my crazy aunt's spam mail. "Chekc out thees hilarious pixx! lol!"

And what are the odds that you never notice that the working ones are running Wordpress too, simply because the only time you tend to see the software's logo is on an error page?
There's plenty that can be done to make Wordpress more robust: Beef up your database backend, run wp-cache, use the memcached plugin, etc. A lot of the time it's as simple as finding a better hosting provider or moving your web site to a computer with more memory. I think half the reason for Wordpress's mistaken reputation as being unreliable is just because it's (a) free and (b) can run with relatively low system requirements; the odds are that a blog on the cheapest budget host is, more likely than not, running on Wordpress, but that in itself doesn't speak against Wordpress's quality. - gmprunner, on 10/11/2007, -1/+42Hold on you guys, the Prince of Nigeria just emailed me and I gotta give him my banking info, brb.
- JoeBaynham, on 10/11/2007, -2/+29You forgot this one: http://photos-827.ak.facebook.com/ip002/v58/87/12/284001475/n284001475_378827_5611.jpg
- darlyn, on 10/11/2007, -17/+43Lol, I've seen these exact pics so many times on digg ... and they still continue to make front page.
- dmightx, on 09/21/2008, -19/+40Some of us haven't seen them b4 anyways.. so screw you.
- nipuL, on 10/11/2007, -8/+28If you digg this you will get 4 days good luck
- invader, on 10/11/2007, -3/+20if they get an average of 1000 diggs each time they make it to the front page, and if digg has 1.2 million users (probably significantly more by now), then we should only have to see these reposted 1200 more times, so all the digg users who haven't seen them can see them..
that's moderately depressing - diggduggjoe, on 10/11/2007, -6/+22Another classic:

and then go on to forward it to 10 people so your luck will change? - Ventolin, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17I just want to send a great big "THANKS!" to all the people who post mirrors. You guys rock!
- TridenTBoy, on 10/11/2007, -5/+19Only about ten times now... Each one getting thousand hundred diggs at least.
- swiftekho, on 10/11/2007, -4/+17The last one made me laugh... The others I had seen before.
- Rikkochet, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14Try the... tech news section?
- cubedude6491, on 10/11/2007, -4/+15The farting one got me, I mean c'mon just look at it
- MightyGiant, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14Surprised? I'm not.
- akira117, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Grr I hate those, every aunt must do that..
Thats why I added a filter that deletes everything that has fwd in the title :D - fatdog789, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13Techcrunch runs WordPress, as did (does?) Gigaom. NY Times' blogs all run WordPress, as does ABC News, and LA Times runs some WP blogs (though most are MT). Those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.
The point is, if you have a DB server that can handle it, WP works. If you use shared hosting...don't expect to survive a Digg. - TheWriteGuy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10http://aycu09.webshots.com/image/20088/2004499713309915085_rs.jpg
- crazzy88ss, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8isn't that supposed to be the point?
- evi1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Wow other aunts do this as well?
Now I do not feel so bad for marking her address as spam. - beckspace, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I think it's time to Digg abolish 'friends' rating
you have to work to get a front page, let's say 2000 friends to broadcast it, this user has 13 pages of friends, so anything from him, like hammering the same old photos, has much more chance than a guy who started on digg two months ago and discovered that Indy 4 will begin with a nazi nuclear test, like me
this pyramid scheme will struggle digg, each time will be worse because people will know how to manipulate it time more - landmonster, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I kiss you!
- qwertydvorak, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5"That one is damn good."
and somehow sad at the same time. "My Bling Bling" who buys that crap for their kid ? - kidzmatter2me, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2My company runs a blog, launched just a few weeks ago, on WordPress. On launch day, we experienced the hit of over 800 users in a 30 minute period. The blog sustained the hits just fine. It runs about 8 plugins all the time, one of which is the WP-Cache plugin. And it sustained all of this on a DreamHost server, no less.
- RockoSpooner, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6this has been posted multiple times. but its still very interesting.
- ummmmm, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2buried...spam
- crazedgremlin, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3yeah... they're just recycled funny photos
- FunnyBunnyB, on 12/29/2008, -0/+0link doesn't work?
- petewhite, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1My site uses wordpress and has been dugg - the only performance based module I had installed was wp-cache. Works a treat.
- h4mx0r, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4I've already seen about 40% of those on some random optical illusion site.
- jesuswuzanalien, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Well if you look at the average digg users' dick from the right angle it would look 12 inches instead of 2.
- Diggingspoon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1So freaking old. Don't repost them to your crappy, uninspired blog and spam digg with them. Seen this about 20 times through stumbleupon. Go away.
- widgeon, on 10/11/2007, -10/+10DUPLICATE
This was almost funny when it received over 5000 Diggs 4-5 months ago...
http://www.digg.com/design/What_happens_when_you_take_a_photo_at_the_right_angle - resplence, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3I even remember the title of the last time it was posted. It was something along the lines of "AMAZING pictures taken at the MOST PERFECT moments". For real.
- jhw549, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2okay, this is the 3rd time I've seen this same site (possibly a copy of another site or a mirror), buried duplicate
- angle45media, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0digg makes me laugh
- computergeek23, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0HOW FUNNY!!!! LOL
- Ibox, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Damn, I wish I didn't have a job to go to all the time or I could post... I've seen this before like a hundred times, and digging it again... bla bla bla...
- mikesbaker, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1oops
- sQPha7e, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1tricks of perspective... gotta love it.
- Elixir25, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3Buried for being old meme.
- ladyarcher85, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1i dont know if that guy with his foot onthe leaning tower is photoshopped but it surely looked good :D
- shortmilton, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1The links are better,thank y'all.
- sarkera, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Wordpress is actually very, very poorly written indeed. "Just install the right combination of plugins" is far from an acceptable response! Wordpress, by design, encourages wanton usage of the MySQL layer, and this ends up causing ridiculous numbers of queries per page (I've seen upwards of 80). Due to the lack of any sort of enforced plugin API or templating layer, countless bloggers with a minimal knowledge of PHP create plugins that are useful but very wasteful of resources. Granted, there are caching plugins that alleviate the problem, but they really only serve to dampen the resource hit that the above-mentioned wasteful plugins incur. So don't say that the fact that there's a memcached plugin or disk caching plugin is the solution; it isn't. Quality control and careful use of resources is the solution.
