I think he meant in terms of total traffic.

at least according to quantcast, their traffic numbers have been steadily going down: http://www.quantcast.com/slashdot.org#traffic

That begs with my analysis. MyHosting.com hosted my blog when it got posted to reddit and /. back in Aug. 2005, and I got something like 40,000 hits the first day, with over 18+K uniques, last time I checked.

Then again, how much traffic I really received I'll never know. If you're doing more than 50 connections/sec, they shut down your account so their other clients "don't suffer".

I promptly moved. And I don't recommend them.

The traffic they send is not.
