OpenXcom on Slashdot? ;)

[michal]

OpenMW is project similar to OpenXcom - they're making open source engine for Morrowind game. There site recently died from slashdot effect "Normally we get 10,000 page views a month, and because of slashdot we had 2,500 in one day."

OpenXcom stats for June: ~ 3500 visitors (2700 unique) and 6500 page views  (4700 unique)

I wonder what would happen if somebody would post OpenXcom on Slashdot

I think ninex will not like us if we kill his server by small DDOS attack form slashdot :>

I could provide a mirror for the website, though I have no idea of how much can my server take.

in last 2 months we got indirect ddos from wykop.pl, about ~2000 req/s
i don't have this in piwik stats, cause requests was for screenshots only directed by other site.
Our server are protected by reverse proxy (squid actually) on top of apache.

So, who will post about OpenXcom  on slashdot when 0.4 will be released?

[Daiky]

Depending on who will still be alive at 0.4 release, 'caus I'm getting old, SupSuper is the youngest 

[michal]

Ok, 0.4 is released. Who has slashdot account?

[LCSand]

I did register OpenXCom at freecode.com(formerly known as freshmeat).
If SupSuper or Daiky want to have admin rights there I can do that.

I thought about posting an anouncement for the 0.4 release.
Less traffic than slashdot, but... should I?

[michal]

Well, why not?

[LCSand]

I posted it.
Indirectly it means it is also on slashdot, since there is a small sidebar on slashdot lising freecode projects.
But I do not think that many people look at that.
Lets see what happens.
