goodbye rankpeople! hey! is this the end of one of those "amihotornot" sort of sites? is the "my self esteem is so low i need to validate my existence on a website" trend over and done with? no more "i can't feel cool unless other people think i look cool" bubble? alas, i can't help but feel sad over the beginning of the end of an era...
no. not really.

It's a fad. Just like Cool Site of the Day or superfluous search engines or the …Ate My Balls pages.

As long as "www.amiannoying.com" keeps on keepin' on the genre won't be entirely bad.

No, MetaFilter will still be around so that people can bitch at others, throw their socialist ideals about, and generally get all stoked up.

Doh.

There's always ratemyrack. Can't complain about that one TOO much, hehe. I'm not gonna provide the whole link... You gotta work for it.

I'll just never forget the time they posted a picture of someones server.

It got an 8.2, I believe.

Someone needs to register ratemyfilter.com. I'd give that domain a 6.5.
