Concern regarding possible digg/slashdot effects on the SOM website

I think this is mostly a question to Bjorn, since he's the one who got
a host for SOM.

Do you think the server can handle something like a digg effect?  I
have seen dozens and dozens of web sites being taken down so fast by
the flood of users that it's crazy.  Promoting SOM will possibly make
it visible on large online communities, but if they do notice our
project and then the whole web site gets down for Goddess knows how
long, it will be pretty bad to the reputation of the project.

If the server won't handle the flood of users, what will we do?
