So what the fuck are the 9 rules? They talk a lot about leverage and how cool they all are - though I question how they can be heading for 10^10 sites and keeping with the whole "high quality" thing - but I want to know what the damn rules are!

Rule #1 you don't talk about the rules. o.O

I like the design of the page, but each of the sites seems to be 'quality' but rather boring or thin, at least the few I clicked on to.

Well, the pages are very pretty.

Even if all they're doing is asking people with good sites to join their network, it will make a nice index of worth while stuff. Too bad they're couching it in so much wankery.

Flags immediately go up when there are explicit "quality of user" definitions. Seems snobby (to mince words). Define "discerning."

And hey, they support !!! It's so new and high tech and web-standardsy!

I wonder if they sell their power tools to highly discerning craftspeople?

Is the first rule something about timing out?

tpl1212 if you're discerning you don't enter that group..but then again being discerning isn't enough to enter that.

Well, now their site is dead.

I thought that 9 Rules went off the air after John Ritter died. That would explain why the link isn't working.
