New contributed theme: FriendsElectric

Yesterday I committed a first version of my new Drupal theme FriendsElectric. It is PHPTemplate-based and tableless, uses semantic XHTML and fully supports all theme options (slogan, logo, primary/secondary links, etc). You can check out a quick live demo on my site. The theme is designed for compatibility with the latest versions of the major browsers out there, but will not work on dinosaur browsers (most notably, IE5/Win and IE5/Mac).

Sites that have been under the slashdot effect

Just a thread to show what sites have been under extreme load from for example slashdot.

For example, on February 4th, 2005 Wikinerds Portal, a Drupal site running an article on GNU/HURD got hit rather hard.

If you know a Drupal site that has been /.-ed or better, if your Drupal site has been /.-ed and you want to share your experience, post it here.
