New here

Hi everybody, I'm new here as of yesterday. I'm sure it'll take time for me to get to know everybody here, but in the meantime I had a somewhat geeky (or was that "geekly"?) question about this site.

If I were to post a link here to a site hosted on a low-medium bandwidth broadband connection (cable modem, ADSL, etc.), will it get crushed into a pile of burning cinders by the bandwidth demands? Fark, Slashdot, etc. have all gotten so big that posting a link is basically inviting a DOS attack to that site. To be honest, I'm afraid to even post my personal website URL there, and it sorta sucks having to keep that distance and anonymity due to technical constraints. I just don't have a feel for the size of this cellar yet.

So what's the scoop?
