You want us to DOS Digg? Ok, if you say so....

/how much bigger is Digg than Fark?
//fark is much, much better
///hates Ron Paul

A mod greenlighted a DOS thread"?

Damn, times have changed.

I'm pretty sure their servers can handle it.

eqtworld: //fark is much, much better
///hates Ron Paul

Pretty much this. God I hate that site.

To submit a headline to Digg, it has to either:

- Be about Ron Paul
- Take one element of a story and play it up, often incorrectly
- Contain at least three exclamation point.
- Be a top-10 list
- Use brackets in the headline to denote a picture or video, because the users are too stupid to click through and see it themselves.

Bonus points for combining all the above. For instance:

Ron Paul wins Republican nomination!!!!![PIC]

About a phone poll conducted by Ron Paul supporters projecting him the winner, with a mug shot in the story, would automatically make it to the top and the comments inside would be nothing but Diggers fellating themselves over how great Ron Paul is.

Fellows: Pretty much this. God I hate that site.

I'm pretty sure you have to mention Ubuntu and Apple as well.

RON PAUL USES MAC DURING LUNCH AFTER HE EATS PASTRAMI AND RYE!!!!! [PIC][VIDEO][ANAL]

Ron Paul is no longer a prime social mover on digg. Just so you know.

I go to Fark for the headlines, and digg for the satisfaction of digging people down. Imagine if you could tangibly smite bevets every time he shows up ... it's very therapeutic.

I watch their weekly show Diggnation and always get a chuckle or two. FarkTV, uh not so much. As far as the site goes, I sometimes go there just for the stories. The comments are written by 12-year-olds or people who take themselves way too seriously.

How is this different from TFD though?

that's a whole lot of fail right there

/admins greenlight links

Megain: /admins greenlight links

Ahhh, you must be a mod!!!

I refuse to partake. Enjoy your fun boys, but when the hammer comes down it's your asses.

Digg comments are nearly as bad as Youtube comments.

Dammit, ICIHTST

Me too. Bastard.

steelpeg: Megain: /admins greenlight links

lol. actually, i used to think it would be fun to be a mod here. then i paid attention to the complete and utter bs they have to deal with on a constant basis from assholes like me

i don't envy them for their anonymous, and more often - unappreciated - duties. but i respect their position, and don't have a problem with saying they aren't responsible for something they aren't responsible for

Yes, but who moderates the admins? Huh? HUH?

And this is different from Fark, how?

42 digs and 4 comments. I would say this fails. And why hasn't the greenlit tab been refreshing all day? Get to work on that straight away. Forget it, I just saw it was scheduled to go to main at an ideal time. I kept seeing this at the top and thought it wasn't updating. At least I have an excuse because of a certain holiday.

Ron Paul? Whenever I go on there, it's all pro-Obama and anti-Hillary.

ThatGuyGreg: xanadian: I know I don't. I find it all humorous, personally.

I'm sure everyone involved does, except maybe the Digg users - but they're a 1/2 step above YouTubers anyway.

I'd say it's a more lateral move.

Paula Abdul Alhazred: Ron Paul? Whenever I go on there, it's all pro-Obama and anti-Hillary.

The 17-year-old age demographic is pretty finicky.

Dammit, that's what happens when you post before coffee. I meant fickle, not finicky.

I can already tell this day is going to be full of fail.

HulkHands: The front page stuff is only there because friends of the "digger" upped him in one large circle jerk so that when they dug their own their friend would return the favor, instead of the preferred "on the front page because it is interesting."

Google Groups (and other off page places where people get together) have ruined the way Digg works.

I think the fark model where the Admins pick what goes green is (overall) better. I like the idea of digg, but it is too easily manipulated by the users.

"Fark farks Digg?"

It was like tens of Apple fan boys crying out at once and then suddenly silenced.

If anything most links off Fark are harvested from Digg. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

i used to digg, when the site was new, for about 3 months.

as soon as i noticed that most stories were dupes, and that i was getting my info faster from my rss feeds, i quit.

Last week someone linked to Fark from Digg
This week, we're linking to Digg from Fark...

The circle-jerk continues...

dramatools: I sense an unholy union between Drew and Kevin Rose.

I've always wanted to see Rose beaten with his own Macbook. I'm sure Drew could handle that no problem.

Wait! I thought that was supposed to create a divide by zero error in the very fundament of the universe last time it happened.

Kind of like the old "/ping 255.255.255.255", it was apparently done once in the nineties, and led to the greatest DDoS the world had yet seen at the time.

Can Figg be far off? Or Dark?

I submitted the 69th digg. I win.
