A number of times in the past, servers have been overwhelmed following
the posting of a URL in a slashdot article. This effect is known as
"slashdotting". So, to be slashdotted means to have ones site swamped
following a mention on slashdot.
The NT part is probably a reference to the stability of an NT-based
server to the SlashDot Effect.

You're web site isn't legit until
it's been /.ed at least twice. Hope it's
running on something other than NT.
Okay, I give up. What is slashdotted, and what is the problem there with
NT?
