SlashNET, as the key communications method for Slashdot staff, was used in selecting and approving stories on the website. On [[9/11]], [[Rob Malda]], as "Daddy Pants" of the day, with final say on story acceptance, elected to focus Slashdot only on the unfolding news of the attacks. Telephone exchanges and cell networks were overburdened; many reports and eyewitness accounts came in via IRC. Many of these were posted on Slashdot. The site had 303 million page views for the day.<ref>DiBona, p. 392. </ref>
