slashdot

slashdot
a) To render a web site slow or unusable via the unusually large number of page requests that result from a link on a very popular web site.

If these numbers are significantly higher than normal usage, something is amiss (perhaps your web server has been slashdotted).

b) To overwhelm, swamp.

And that guy is supposed to be thrilled to lose both his inbound and outbound connections and e-mail for the joy of having been slashdotted.
