 OK, so AllSux.com gets a few thousand hits a day, and 50-some odd (probably in both senses of the term, but don’t worry, I love oddballs!) people have even subscribed to the feed, despite the RSS info being jammed way at the bottom of the sidebar. So who are you people? Hi from AllSux!
The average number of comments on AllSux is 2 per post, which (supposedly) is typical – because less than 1% of blog readers leave comments on average. So, I suppose I can’t reasonably expect you to come out of the closet and leave a comment just because I ask. Nonetheless, hello out there [he shouts into the interweb abyss].
That is all :)

 In case he should sue me for this, I hereby disclaim this post and avow that it is entirely my incredibly biased, subjective and stupid opinion – not fact. If I should mysteriously stop posting, assume I was murdered – or went out for a cheeseburger.
This all started a few weeks ago when someone copied a full blog post – hotlinked images and all – from a website I contribute to. I contacted him and firmly but politely asked him to remove the copied content, warning him that his actions were against Google’s Webmaster Guidelines (though I didn’t even mention they were also illegal). Apparently, though framed as well as I could considering the circumstances, he took this as a personal threat. Here is my account of the interchange, though feel free to skip ahead to where I point out that he is breaking the law and I can sue his [noun removed].

(10) I really should have guessed that you can fix a scratched CD with a banana.
(9) Bear with the poor video quality, because these are some actually transforming Transformers costumes in action.
(8) A decade is a long time on the interwebs, but one of the first bloggers down under is still going strong with a one-word URL for extra style points!
(7) At the longer end of the style, class and URL length spectrum, who would have thought someone would successfully register a site named ‘Hot Chicks With Douchebags‘ and be successful with it?
(6) Sad but true: many gifted students are just ordinary.
(5) These are some strange looking animals.
(4) Here are 20 science myths you probably will kick yourself about after reading them.
 And this is why you shouldn’t try to win $1 million with a stolen credit card.
(3) How about a top secret link to the most expensive stuff selling on ebay instead?
(2) Before you go, check out these people who can lift islands and light their cigarettes off of the sun.
(1) And don’t forget to see the heated debate around convertible, portable and inflatable homeless shelters.

(10) What kind of idiot tries to sue the Red Cross over its use of a red cross?
(9) Strange but true, some people are really just mirror images of people.
(8) Did you know that you could solve any Rubik’s cube puzzle in just 26 moves? I know I didn’t.
(7) I know I wouldn’t want to be a blind man who stumbled into an all-girl’s biker bar.
(6) Bored at work? Try this beginner’s guide to breaking into buildings that has some amazing images from sewer tunnels and abandoned structures.
(5) Google, though usually evil as we all know, for once seems to have their head on straight in rebutting an argument that they could save energy by making the Google.com background black.
(4) See the two-month-old blog that just made the front page of Digg.com three days in a row.
(3) Is anyone really shocked that breast implants are linked to suicide?
(2) Out of sight, out of mind … President Bush notes that if he hasn’t seen it, clearly the US doesn’t torture people.
(1) Since this link list obviously sux, I highly recommend you go check out a much better top 10 link list.

This is really just too funny. So Digg.com has a reputation for taking down sites with massive traffic loads, as it just did to WebUrbanist. However, another article currently on the front page specifically addresses load issues. The headline reads: “Traffic generated by Digg’s over 1.2 million famously info-hungry users can crash an unsuspecting website head-on into its CPU, memory, and bandwidth limits. How does Digg handle all this load?”
Irony of all ironies, this website – HighScalability.com – itself can’t handle the Digg load. In one single move the site managed to undermine the credibility of its own domain name! Priceless.

OK, so umm … if you’re not reading WebUrbanist, you’re missing out:
Oh, and here’s me on on the members page of MBL. I’m standing on a 40-ton slap of concrete suspended in mid-air at the Burning Man festival … I think about 3 or 4 years ago. No, I’m not wearing a shirt. But no, I am also not naked. Check here for some more amazing photos of Black Rock City.

Well I have to say I’m pleased as punch about being selected as the lastest Hot Member on MyBlogLog. This site, for new readers tuning in, this site is filled with assorted randomness, from silly images and strange videos to really weird news. It has taken a lot of big-name internet companies to task, from LiveLeak to Digg and Helium and many others along the way. Possibly the only site I have posted only positive praise about is MyBlogLog.
Why? Because they actually care about the people who use their site, respond to concerns and suggestions promptly and helpfully – and all in order to create an amazing place to find great blogs and cool bloggers. In short: they’re the biggest web company I know of that hasn’t sold out their principles and personal investment in what they do as a result of their success. So yes, ‘all’ does ‘sux’ … except MyBlogLog!
So join in the fun and join up here for the AllSux and WebUrbanist communities. Also, a round of applause to Robyn and Eric who have turned MyBlogLog into the best blogging community online! Not a member? Whether you’re a blogger or a blog-reader the best way to find interesting blogs and bloggers online is through MyBlogLog!!!
P.S. No they don’t pay me :)
