The thread was moved because I believe that Link Lists & Free Sites, as defined by most members of this board, contain warning pages. Kit's v1.5 has ELIMINATED the warning page:
"There is no reason to keep warning page if you add special meta tags to HTML code"
I can honestly say that if ANYONE posted what Kit did - PK, Richard, DDave, Murray, Cleo, Raw Alex, Emerald, Linkster, mb, etc - ANYONE - I would have reacted in the same manner, because I am a huge supported of the warning page concept as far as Free Sites & Link Lists go.
You keep thinking this is an anti-Kit thing - and I have admitted that part of my 1st reply was ego driven. And we all know there is this "Greenguy hates Russians" mentality on Master-X. None of that applies to the core of my argument against this - I like warning pages.

But I assume that they won't be listed by many of the bigger link lists since they aren't a traditional free site. Of course, I can't ask who would be willing to accept them in this forum, because that's apparently somehow threatening to the traditionalists.

I can see where you're coming from, but I do honestly think that if you had started that thread, I'd have left it here because it does have the warning page involved (and please feel free to start it if you wish)
Hell, Bill's been building sites like that for YEARS - they do have a main page, but the galleries are clearly linked right off the warning page.
(and yes, I typed all that up before I read the rest of the DDave & UW posts, which is why it looks kinda redundant)

Because we're learned that when one asshole (me) changes his rules, people build sites to fit them. Example: I change to 12 pics/page & Cleo stays at 10. Preacher build a Free Site & wants to submit to both, so he puts 12 pics/page. Cleo's listings are changed by default. The real way to do it to make everything appear "different" is via design & coding.
