How fast can ATOT...

depends what time the ATE is requested/the number of forum members who see it before the topic sinks....

-Vivan
 
But... have people actually requested the ATE?

As for overrated, I know it's not really that powerful. I've only ever seen it happen to two, maybe 3 sites, wheras /. /.'s things so fast it numbs my mind.
 
i don't think AT has enough people reading at any given time to bring down a site or even appreciably slow it down.

/. is another story!

Or FW, they can do some damage as well. But typically the 75% Off kind.
 
yeah, ATE has really fallen off, but if there's a hot deal or a picture of a hot chick then maybe ATE will bring some hurt.

Agreed. It's nowhere close to the Slashdot, etc effects (which are comparable to some decent sized DDoS attacks 😉). We can still take out Geocities pages though! Arrr!

LOL that sounds so ghetto I love it 🙂

Of course geocrack has like 5MB bandwidth per day limit.
 
I'm mostly w/ rossman. The AT effect is WAY overrated. It's a wannabe /. effect. That said, the AT effect may not be the Jupiter-esque gas giant that /. is, the asteroid sized AT effect can sway polls and kill geocities sites if it's the middle of a weekday.

Back in the "The AT Effect" could cripple web sites but those days are long gone 🙁

You're just bitter because you're not getting filthy rich from the referral links in the bettercreditcard.com site.

You guys are overlooking a GInormous point.

Any idiot and their mother can provoke an ATE, whereas /. is much pickier about what they link.

The ratio between easiness/strength of effect is completely converse to the nth degree.
