Ron Paul is about to explode in the polls!!

[InTheoryTV]

Could be the thread with the final ad for the USA. On Digg the thread is the destination.

Maybe the article hit the front page of DIGG.

[xrob123]

This doesnt seem normal. hmm

DoS attack = Denial of Service attack

I'm afraid you might be right.

[Jobarra]

[derdy]

Freedom IS popular! :D

[ConstitutionGal]

Okay, that's prob it. :)

[theprolific]

the usa today ad mention is on the front page of digg right now
i think that may be drawing the spike in traffic

[Duckman]

Awesome! It rocks that the servers are putting up with this abuse.

[Jobarra]

DDOS now means DIGG DOS? :D

Still could be a DOS. Kind of strange to see a completely linear progression.

Oh, and don't forget to only digg this article ONCE. Already have a bad enough reputation on DIGG from people DIGGing the same article 5 times and then blogs linking and talking about the article 30 times :/

[ConstitutionGal]

This doesn't seem normal.....hold on folks...we may be going down....

[Ron Paul Fan]

Unbelievable. Guests, please Register for FREEDOM! The server should hold!

[American]

I bet someone has linked a thread here in another popular forum.

[Thom1776]

[FrankRep]

Digg traffic

[aravoth]

This doesn't seem normal.....hold on folks...we may be going down....

We'll be fine.

[Ibgamer]

Welcome to the Ron Paul forums!

[Tenbatsu]

The USA Today ad made it to the popular section of digg

[Tidewise]

It's DUGG. Please don't feed any Trolls.

[GHoeberX]

It's obvious they all come here for the topic which is on Digg-frontpage; just check the view-count.

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=37965

I have a site+forum myself and once had 6000 visitors at the same time visiting as well, but most servers can EASILY hold that, so don't worry!

[devil21]

The USA Today ad made it to the popular section of digg

It has a link directly to the thread about the ad. Glad it's a good surge :D

[Isupportliberty]

Could be the thread with the final ad for the USA. On Digg the thread is the destination.

Maybe the article hit the front page of DIGG.

This is definitely the digg effect... welcome!

[Benaiah]

That digg link doesn't work for me.

[Dave Wood]

2223 viewing at one moment...............is this the largest momentary view count to date?

woah!:o Thank G*d they upgraded those servers................

[FrankRep]

That digg link doesn't work for me.

New link

[RPFTW!]

Welcome aboard!

[Erazmus]

Wow, lots of people. I was like wtf?

[BillyDkid]

Is that cool or what???? New blood. New champions for liberty. Very exciting. I'm thinking this freedom thing is popular. As like we all like to say "He's catchin' on, I'm tellin' ya!!!!" I'm thinking that lame ad resonated better than we could have imagined. It sure stuck in our minds.
