I've noticed a strange phenomenon: whenever a new site opens up, it is immediately "found" by someone
--not in any way connected to the site-- who then opens up accounts at many different discussion forums, to spread word of this "great find"
Here's another on Newsleecher's forum by the same "one-hit wonder"

Just one question, earthcadet:
What are your plans for this site of yours? Considering that you are asking people to donate their time and effort to build up your site, will you pledge that the site will always be free? Or do you plan to start charging a subscription ... that people then must pay to access the same information that they earlier donated?
It's a nice looking site, but personally, I can't yet see it's major draw, except possibly for specific niches that are not served elsewhere. The concept reminds me of an old eDonkey site called "Shared Folders" -- if anyone remembers that one. Very useful in its day.
