The following is an e-mail I got today. At first, I thought they were asking me to write for them. Then as I read further, I realized they were asking me to write ABOUT them. Read it. The e-mail is a bunch of bullshit hype about how great they are, followed by a request for an unpaid endorsement. Yeah.... fuck that. If they were half as great as their hype machine claims, they wouldn't be begging me to post about them. Oh, yeah to the assholes who run that site, protip: get a real domain name. Real sites end in .com, .net, .org, .gov, or .edu. Anything that ends in .biz, .tv, or .info is probably bullshit.
