AVSForum.com Hits the Big Time...

AVSFormu was just mentioned on a Fox News segement at THE place to go to learn about the various HDTV formats and systems on the market. The person talking mentioned them three times in a matter of two minutes. Congrats to the guys over there. Of course, no one will be able to get on there now, as I just tried and got the "server busy" message. :lol: They are really getting slammed.

I heard that this morning while listening to XM.. I bet they're slammed!

Okay... we're been slash-dotted before, and had the board slow down to a crawl. So, what do we call when a board gets mentioned mentioned on Fox News... foxxed-out?

BTW: Congrats to AVSForums.

It's nice to see them get some recognition. When I was looking for some advice on my Seattle OTA channels, they had a thread that was a gold mine! Nice, helpful people. Hey!! Just like this place!!!

[scooper]

I hang out there as well - friendly folk, willing to lend a hand..

[Mark Lamutt]

Absolutely - Alan and David do a great job with the forum! It is THE place to go for local OTA areas, Home Theater PCs, and HDTV.

I imagine any forums that have links on that site will also benefit from the free advertisement.

Now they are going to need a better server.
