Help Stress Test The New Slashdot 280
Here's you chance to generate wasteful http traffic without even having to run unpatched IIS! We're ready to test Banjo, our new fancy setup w/ new code and new hardware. We plan to keep testing until we think
the system is ready. You are also welcome to submit Bug Reports, although it would be helpful if you skimmed the list of bugs before submitting new ones so we don't have 300 of you tell us that your user info page has other people's comments listed on it again. The new hardware is mostly in place, but the code hasn't been fully optimized yet, so run your wgets... write your bots... whatever makes you happy, but please don't be malicious: just try to load and submit web pages. And don't be surprised, its gonna go up and down like a yo yo as we fix things.

And sure, the "right" way is to fire up ab and go to town, and we've done that to some extent already. But nothing simulates the load on slashdot like the load on slashdot.
And we're still in bug-finding mode, for that matter. Submit them if you find them.

Where did "Banjo" come from? (Score:2, Informative)
comes from one of the main Slashgeeks - Pudge.
he is a Perlgod and he has a super-cool black lab dog named Banjo.
Banjo completely rules, and if you ever get the chance to meet him, (banjo, not pudge), you're a lucky person indeed.
oh, and Pudge - "READ A BOOK!"

I don't think look & feel is supposed to be very different, this is about the code behind the scenes.
