Suffice to say that the site is in the news somewhere or another almost every week, and much as I appreciate the attention, it's becoming a real pain having to list it here. So, I'll just keep this record up here as an archive, although I can't imagine who'd be interested (but hey, you could say that about most of the stuff on the web!) For more recent press coverage, do a search in google or something. If you can be arsed, of course. |
