thx for the free announcement btw.

If I was to do it again from the scratch, Pligg or something like it would be the choice of the script. The one I'm using, it's not supported anymore, and very outdated, most modifications I did are let say ... very smart tricks build on older tricks and so on. One time I remember, in order to incorporate something I had to learn of how to build simple php script to modify all the links that were in the DB already.

One thing should be mentioned here, in my opinion first site that really went one step ahead of the original idea of a Link-List was UW's Perv Box, was the site that inspired me, when I saw those lovely tags there, I knew that I need to have tags too, ( well ... blog posts too

, I even PM UW about it then). Other ideas were born in the process of fixing the templates structure or were borrowed from mainstream sites.

But by the end of the day, sites like LOR , Shemp, Danger Dave or Tommy's Bookmarks brings out the most traffic.
