Comment Not a fair comparison. (Score 1) 300
All respect to Hemos, but Slashdot is a much simpler proposition than Ebay, even is it were getting 10 million hits a day. The forums could be divided among different servers on /., but on Ebay the need for cross-communication between different parts of the database is much greater.
Whoever is in charge of maintaining Ebay has a herculean task, and I respect them.
However:
I don't like the way Ebay handled the Ebayla fiasco, I didn't like the way they dealt (er, didn't deal with) the earlier allegations of security problems, and I'm just plain concerned about Ebay's growth outstripping their ability to keep up with it.
