Spring RTS Engine

Has a link to TASpring/request for programmers ever been posted to Slashdot? Does anyone think taspring.clan-sy.com can even survive the bandwidth?

It could be useful for gaining more programmers/players/modders/mappers with one small click of the mouse.

EDIT: It didn't occur to me that some people might not know what slashdot is. It is a geeky/techy news website with literally millions of viewers every day.

I believe early on spring was put up on slashdot ro soem other site.

hmm I'm curious, where does slashdot get all its users from? I never hear anythign about slashdot in ym travels save from when a project gets a mention on ti and a slashdot reader posts enthusiastically.

If spring gets put up on slashdot, this poor site will go die until it gets off the front page. If someone here puts it up on slashdot, then they should include a direct torrent link to the latest version so the slashdotters will be able to download it.

This is great thinking and also a necessity. Alantai: Slashdot has been around for a long long time and has gained a huge amount of loyal geeky followers.

Spring was already Slashdotted some times ago. And survived.

I would seriously recommend to wait with a /. until we have a working Linux version with GPL content.
And allow downloading from SF.net or BerliOS.

I agree with Tim, it's better to wait until we can actually announce something new and have a better organised project. (IE: port has become the regular spring, and all dev's work on the same set of code)

That article is a duplicate. I submitted the first article and it was posted by CmdrTaco, IIRC. The site's survived two slashdottings, one right after the other :)
