Just wanted to make a comment that didn't really fit into current threads...

What's up with the paranoia surrounding this board? Everyone is afraid that someone will steal their ideas if they post the URL to a site of theirs in profile?

I took mine out because a few people sticky-ed me saying it was a bad idea, my site could be hijacked, etc.

Hijacked is a scary word these days, what's up with all the paranoia? Who's going to scrape my content if I post it? To me, it seems like 5 scrapers would dilute themselves, making my resource look even better to visitors.

What's going on here?

I decided to cancel the re-direct and just slap up a site on Monday. I have an idea ;-). All those 'Best of the Web' and top 100 web sites... mine will be the worst of the worst. Scrapers exposed!
