Links are submitted by Fark members (collectively referred to as "Farkers"), whom admins can approve ("greenlight") to post on either the main page or one of the subsidiary tab pages. Other than sponsored content, links have associated threads where users can comment. Greenlit links can generate upwards of 300,000 page views in one month for the recipient. This can generate such an enormous amount of traffic in such a short time that smaller websites thus linked are often rendered inoperable due to congestion or simple server failure. This is colloquially referred to as the website being "farked" by the community.
