Ever wanted to see what the Digg effect does to Fark?

fark.com — You're curious aren't you? It's like setting up a humidifier and a dehumidifier in the same room. Let's find out what happens if Digg links to Fark and Fark links to Digg.

  • bigpeeler, on 10/12/2007, -2/+54In Soviet Union...no wait.
    Every time you masturb....no, that ain't it.
    It's a tra...dang it.

    I forget, how do I speak FARK again?
    • DerGeist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+48Try any of these for instant farky hilarity, just 3 minutes in the microwave!:

      "Link? Check. digg? Check. Destruction of the universe? Check."
      "Oil prices rise on the news that digg gets lots of hits."
      "Ric Romero reporting that digg and fark both generate lots of traffic."
      "Not News: Digg links to a site. News: Site links back to digg. Fark: It's fark.com."
      "GUAHRENNA GETS A PRESIDENT"
      "Photoshop these farkers clicking a link to digg."
      "Today's site linking to digg brought to you by fark.com"
      "Digg links to fark. The Sun is there."
      "It's not news, it's digg.com linking to fark"
      "Digg links to fark, fark links back. EVERYBODY PANIC"
      "Digg links to fark. You submitted this with pants on. I, however, did not."

      A guaranteed greenlight!
    • DerGeist, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21...and the grand finale:

      "Digg links to fark, fark links to digg. What could possibly go wrong?"

        This space intentionally left un-blank.
    • themarq, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34You forgot one:

      "Fark farks Fark, Digg diggs Digg: France Surrenders."

    • GawtMilk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Oh and DerGeist -- cannot forget this FARK gem.

      Digg links to fark. Fark links to Digg. Jailarity ensues.
    • helchose, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@JackOCat

      (crossposted to Fark) Anyone know why so many hits from Turkey? I find that odd.
    • DerGeist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13@themarq,

      Yeah, I did. Actually I forgot a lot of them, like:
      (Ignoring "Duke sucks," which someone else already pointed out)

      "What would happen if digg linked to fark? Here comes the science."
      "Digg links to fark, fark links back. Linklarity ensues."
      "Old and busted: digg.com linking fark. New hotness: fark linking back."
      "Digg.com links to fark, now seeking Sarah Conner."
      "Scientists submit digg link to fark, fark links back. Still no cure for cancer."
      "Digg links to fark, fark links back. Suck it, diggers."
      "Digg links to fark, fark links back, Slashdot trifecta now in play."
      "Ugly-ass baby digg born at fark.com"
      "Digg.com links to fark, fark links back. Your dog wants a link."
      "Digg.com links to fark, fark links back, with mugshot goodness."
    • timlee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14"Waiting for Slashdot... the trifecta is almost complete."
    • SkyBot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The Triangle of Zinthar is almost complete.
    • duhblow7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1all these comments and no mention of a UFIA yet.
    • lbeaty1981, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7You think it's funny now, but just wait until the oil hits the anus...
  • Deezul, on 10/12/2007, -16/+4No, I didn't want to see, and I'm not curious.
  • jordan314, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12My two RSS feeds are fighting!
    Actually, for this to really work, Digg would have to frontpage this, like Fark did, but it seems to be being ignored by Digg. :|
    • etempest, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1My RSS news reader also has both digg and fark :)
      I like the headlines coming in from digg and fark :)
  • jayhawk88, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18I'm pretty sure this is what will cause the Tunguska Blast of 1908.
  • Oakenshield, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32Teh internets can't handle that much anonymous ballsackery.

  • refrshingapathy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Oh noes! It's a trap!

  • Fired4This, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13For any effect to take place, enough people have to actually follow the links to and from each site.

    What I'm trying to say is, this thread is useless without clicks.
    • jordan314, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Just read your same comment on Fark, Fired4This. A fellow dual subscriber!
    • Fired4This, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1jordan314 - I wasn't until I came here to post that. ;-)
    • cainunable, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I see what you did there..

  • JudgeDredd, on 10/12/2007, -7/+36I work for FARK; So I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies. Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about. But trust me.... You don't. I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you don't know what you are talking about. This is how bad info gets passed around. If you dont know about the topic....Dont make yourself sound like you do. Cos some Diggers believe anything they hear.
    • DerGeist, on 10/12/2007, -24/+8Some diggers believe anything they hear, eh? Like someone's baseless and wholly unsubstantiated claim to work for Fark.com?
    • Kericr, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13@JudgeDredd -I love this joke, and it works even better in a foreign environment. +digg 4 u.
    • cranium, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15@DerGeist

      Psst....

      (JudgeDredd posted a fark cliche specifically intended to make you look stupid by taking it seriously. Don't worry, I won't say anything.)

    • DerGeist, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Pics or it didn't happen.

      (Sorry, couldn't resist. Feel free to digg me down now.)
  • wargod18, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6I see the beginning of a rivalry between Fark and Digg. This should be good, I love both websites I spend more time on fark but I still love digg also.

    /ignore spelling

  • SickBoy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3I spent a lot of time on TotalFark but let my membership drop since it wasn't able to spend as much time there as I'd like. I still go to Fark but I wish they could implement a 'digging' system for the Fark Lite folks. (hint hint, Drew...)
  • mpancha, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2LOL... I can't believe someone hasn't already thought of this. Kudos to the OP.

  • asshatsunite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0We spent all night learning an important lesson: You can't judge a sewer by its manhole cover. No sir, people can be very different under the surface than they might seem. Quiet, mild-mannered just might turn out to be roaring lions of two-fisted cool. And roaring lions of two-fisted cool just might have some crippling lobster problems. Listen, man, it's all crazy down there, under the surface. A lost wallet could bite you in half! A bar of soap could save your life! Egad! A disgusting mound of muck just might have some very compelling ideas! Do you dig my ditch?
  • Dustin00, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Aren't Fark and Digg users the same?

    Isn't this more like "you got your chocolate in my chocolate"
  • Dustin00, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Oh, and a genious move to build banner ad revenue!

  • Barnstormer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I find the tech articles on digg more interesting, but for general news and humorous links I find both the links and the comments a lot more fun over at Drew's clubhouse.

    The best part about fark is the select few posters who have mastered the sarcastic semi-troll, the veiled ad-hominem attack, or the left-handed compliment. It's like a roomful of amateur comedy writers trying to get their bit into the script.

    Even more so on TotalFark, but whether it's worth the five bucks a month is entirely up to you.
    • frostcrow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@Barnstormer "Even more so on TotalFark, but whether it's worth the five bucks a month is entirely up to you. "

      You make no mention of UltraFar.... +++ Carrier Lost
  • frant1c, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21Fark + Digg = FAGG.

    Someone had to do it.

  • lifeisharsh20, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Fark is way better than Digg. Better layout, and I don't have to enter a code besides my password to post.

    /Digg will be farked.
    //Seeing as how I just found out about Digg today.
    • ocelot67, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Never had to enter a code. Maybe Digg doesn't like your previous ignorance of it.
      • jon30041, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1He's talking about the CAPTCHA.

    Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about.

    But trust me.... You don't.

    I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you don't know what you are talking about.

    If you dont know about the topic....Dont make yourself sound like you do.

    Because some Diggers believe anything they hear.
  • ctour95, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Fark is still my number one destination on the intarweb, the comments are what makes it great - that and the photoshop contests.
  • raintree420, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2One word... Foobies. Until Digg has uhhh Doobies...then I'm a TFer.
  • biscuits, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Fark wins!, it loads quick and does not have stupid top10X crap through all its pages.

  • bradmoreland, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Fark will weather it because it doesn't take 20 minutes for a page with 100 comments to render unlike Digg.
  • nickm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1probably nothing at all....good publicity though?
  • turbopro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I bet if you could post pictures in the comments here the traffic would increase even more.
  • riverbag, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There can be only one!!
  • MrDarkSim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm stuck in an infinite tube loop!
  • mildlydisturbed, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1From here, it seems fark is full speed and digg is going a little slower than normal.

    Could just be my lame connection
  • Diggot, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I don't know about how you people view this page, but on my MacBook, Digg is loading just fine. I honestly don't see why these people are so into Fark.com. I went there once, sure some of the headlines make you smile, when they are not completely juvenile, or some inside joke, that only the "Fark Elite" understand.

    ...I found Fark Shallow and Pedantic
