I've mentioned it in several threads, but I don't think I've ever authored a thread on the subject. I've also ranted about it on OTB. I no longer like seeing my link lists' names or domains in a thread title. For that matter, I don't like seeing them being unlinked in posts. I too have old rejection threads for a couple of my links lists, but I've since learned that those threads, as well as threads on other boards, often pop up way higher than I want them too during a search for the name or domain. (The larger, well-known link lists usually don't suffer this same fate.)
If you think about it, it's really basic SEO and should serve to emphasize the importance of the <title> tag. Also, we'd all be pissed if we saw some stranger's site printing our domains on their pages while not linking to us. So why is a message board any different?
I'm constantly around and I'm very easily found via ICQ, email, and PM - so no one really has any good reason to ask anything about my sites in a new thread.
Speaking of rejection threads, I used to think that they were great. If a person is honest and really wants to know the specifics of a rejection, they can come to the board and post the URL to the rejected site, receive an answer from the reviewer, and everyone else gets to learn from their published mistake. But look at LOR's rejection thread: a year later and stupid motherfuckers are still submitting blind recips to Greenie. (Not exactly rocket science.) These people don't have the ability to learn from other peoples' mistakes and probably not from their own either. It's amazing how many people will post in that thread with the same blind recip as the six posters before him/her and wonder what their blind link is. I mean, HOLY FUCK!
Factor in to this the fact that I don't need or want more submitters, and you can see why I, as not much more than a pissant and a little link list owner, can
act all Napoleon and shit when it comes to such things. There's a certain high & mighty feeling to having way more submissions than one can possibly list with one's limited time and skills.
