one day a photo I had uploaded went a little viral and everything ground to a halt. Quite disappointing
One day, a photo hosted on my server on my little brother's domain went viral, loads of US College jocks embedding it in their forum posts etc. I wasn't particularly bothered by the volume of traffic, but for the lols I put a redirect in the .htaccess so the image (a statue representing a college sports' emblem) would be served as it originally was on my brother's site, but if the referrer was any other domain they would get a tasteful piece of gay porn instead.

A very long time ago I used to do this. Then one day a photo I had uploaded went a little viral and everything ground to a halt. Quite disappointing.
