ISP Information:
This describes what happens when a highly trafficked website links to a smaller website, and sends such a large amount of traffic towards the smaller website over a short period of time that the website becomes inaccessible, or at least very slow. The phrase was first used to describe the effect that Slashdot.org had when it linked to small sites in its daily news items.

"Dave C." wrote in news:y_KdnewdNdLfI93dRVn-ig@comcast.com: That's odd. Where I live, there are several really GOOD independent pizza/sub shops, but the local Little Ceasars's had better pizza for a better price. In fact, the Little Ceasar's pizza was the best in several towns until we got our first Papa John's. I suspect this might be a franchise problem. That is, maybe Little Ceasar's really sucks in some areas. Unfortunately, our Little Ceasar's didn't stay in business for more than about 18 months. I could speculate that maybe since they were making such good pizza, they weren't making a profit? Or to look at it another way . . . maybe in the areas where you can make a profit with a Little Ceasar's, you have to seriously skimp on ingredients to do so? -Dave I actually use to like Little Caesars until their pizzas got really greasy. I mean, literally, the middle of the box was dripping and it was made of cardboard! Ironic, because the problem at our local Little Caesar's is a complete >lack< of grease. Their pizzas are absolutely dry, hard, with almost no sauce and cheese. Really awful. It's like eating cardboard. RickMan where do you guys shop? All the the little ceaser locations ( which arein our Kmarts) have nothing wrong with their pizzas. Heck we love thembecause they have awesome breadsticks.
