For us old timers the term is “slashdotted.”

As slashdot's active user count dwindles and as it has gotten a bit easier to build a site that can handle decent traffic, I wonder if there was (or will be) a specific last site to get literally slashdotted.

I doubt you get many/any sites slashdotted from the actual slashdot these days. But you do see sites slashdotted from HN articles every day.

And you will be going forwards as well. People will not create horizontally autoscalable, cachachable sites as that cost money and effort for 99.9999% sites that will never need it.

True we are at an age were it is easier, more well known how to do it, and less and less costly, but still not free in money and time.
