poll: Is it bad to link to a small site from here?

[RedRooster]

This place seems to bring many sites down, just from shear traffic whenever a cool link is posted.
Is it bad to post links here when you know the site might not be able to handle it?
Or do you think if it's online it's fair game? 🙂

 

[Schadenfroh]

rephrase that

I think that it's better not to link to smaller sites.

I'd assume that 90% of the time a person with something cool would love for it to reach as many people as possible. If the site goes down cuz of traffic, then the person can either put up a splash page saying the link was taken down, or they just increase bandwith.

Just post it

Your site would die if you don't have the bandwidth

Just post it. Then watch as AT brings it down in seconds 🙂

If I have a little site (which I do, but not used for much right now), and it got linked here, I'd be very happy to see it go down from too much traffic!

yes, bring it on

I would contact the person first and ask permission. Some people have to pay for extra bandwidth and might get mad if you run up a $100 bill on them.

I think it depends, if you're just going to link to a video or something of that nature, I don't believe you should. However if you are just linking directly to the actual site, then let em have it.
