For those not familiar with the term, being slashdotted refers to “the huge influx of Internet traffic to a website as a result of its being mentioned on Slashdot, a popular technology news and information site.” For April Fool’s we took the meaning of the word slashdotted to a new level, to pay homage to one of our favorite sites ever (hence our “look and feel” today.) Happy pranking!
