Pirated Sites exposes all those lame copycats of other people's site designs. Like when someone stole ours, for example.

Hey, Blader - read the Posting Guidelines before you post to the front page. The first paragraph reads, "A good post to MetaFilter is something that meets the following criteria: most people haven't seen it before, there is something interesting about the content on the page, and it might warrant discussion from others."

When Matt's design for MeFi was stolen, PiratedSites was linked to a lot. Most people have seen it. My bet is that this thread/link will be deleted, as it's nothing that anyone hasn't seen before.

Okay. That post sucked.

I did a search for it, nothing came up.

It was new to me, so... sorry!

Ouch guys, take it easy, there are hundreds of newbies here who never knew MeFi's design was ripped off, me for one. And I've never seen Pirated Sites before, either. Besides, its friday.

I'm stunned that this hasn't been posted before, but thanks for playing, aznblader!
