The reduction of PageRank has proved too much for many Digital Point readers and they're now being put on suicide watch.

No. Really. They are.

What's PageRank?

I never got around to obsessing about it.

It has never seemed to be an important metric.

GREAT NEWS

I hope those watching them give them more rope so they can REALLY hang themselves once and for all.

SPHINN IS NO BETTER EITHER.

Don't do it people! Remember, no one cares how big it is - it's how you use it that's important!

Getting your blog article sphinned" a bunch of emails to your friends with a 'please sphinn request'.
Having your site offline when you make the front page of sphinn: Priceless.

I get a negative one for pointing out that the link is down?  Or was it for pointing out that sphinn is being gamed? 

This place is starting to combine all the spam qualitiies of digg run by a bunch of finicky slashdot users.

Wheel, the site isn't down, perhaps it was for a brief moment or you got caught up in the bad behavior plugin, that happens from time to time. As far as gaming Sphinn goes: bigpond, the submitter, and I have never met or had any correspondence, hence why I thanked him/her for the submit.  I hope that satisfies your curriosity and/or pessimissim :)

I'll say now that I didn't have a clue who John was when I submitted. I still don't. I submitted because I liked the post. Kinda thought that was the idea of Sphinn...

@John - you're a trip. :P I have deliberately avoided there for over a week now, but I can guess what the atmosphere is like.

Btw, while your site was not down, it did hang on some Javascript. Although I don't know what the script was, it was a severe hang, as in worse than Sphinn used to be. Might want to trim that down a bit.

@Any Admin... was that really Dave (original) being that obnoxious, or was someone trying to character-assassinate him?

Peace.

BTW, anyone on SPIN seen "An Iconvient Truth"? Looks to me like at least 8 have :)

I'll give you some inconvenient truth - I was one of those 8!

Dave, there are ways to disagree with someone without being a flaming ass.

Must be an Aussie thing.

I always thought you would defend the Spammers, so it's no surprise, let alone "inconvenient".

RE: "Dave, there are ways to disagree with someone without being a flaming ass"

LOL! Is that an example of how to? Or are you just being a flaming hypocritical ass?

When did I ever defend spammers?

Have you ever read my blog?

Apparently not or you would realize how you just embarassed yourself in public.

I disagree with many and many disagree with me but there are ways to get a point across without pissing in another persons house or blog to get it done.

Heck, you've attacked me for no reason since we first met so enjoy yourself and your negative ratings here as you've earned them.
