How it works
Every rule that decides whether your site stays up. Nothing here is hidden behind the terms page.
Getting on the board
$5 puts one site on the board. Type the URL into the bar above the board and press the button — the next screen is the payment page, and the whole deal is printed there above the pay button. We follow redirects, strip tracking parameters, and reduce what is left to a registrable domain — example.com. That domain is your identity here.
If there is room on the board you go straight on. If all 20 slots are taken, the same bar turns into a bid: you name an amount and join the waitlist at that price. Paying more buys a better place in the queue and nothing else — not a date, and not a position on the board once you arrive on it.
Voting
Voting is free and takes one click. Every visitor gets one vote per listing — keep or exile — and it cannot be changed afterwards. Running tallies are public and update live, which absolutely does encourage pile-ons. That is the point.
We identify voters with a token in your browser plus a device fingerprint. It stops the casual double-vote. It will not stop somebody determined to game it, and we are not pretending otherwise.
The board also shows a clicks count next to each listing: how many people opened that link, counted once per browser. It is there because it is the number you actually came for. It has no effect on your position, your countdown, or settlement — those are votes and payment only.
The countdown
A listing on the board runs a 6-hour clock. Every row carries a clock button: pressing it opens the payment page for that listing at $20 an hour, and you choose how many hours there. The price never escalates and there is no ceiling — if you want to keep paying to stay up there, you can. Your manage link buys the same hours at the same price.
Anybody can press that button, on any listing. Not just its owner. If you want something kept on the board, you can pay to keep it there — and what the money buys is hours on that clock and nothing else: no say over the listing, no movement up the board, and no protection from the vote waiting at the end of those hours.
The clocks stop when the board does. Your countdown is a deadline, so an outage would otherwise burn hours you paid for while collecting none of the votes those hours were for. Any stretch where the board served nobody is measured automatically and added straight back to every running clock, before anything is allowed to settle — so no site comes off on a tally it never had the chance to collect.
We do not try to tell “the site was down” apart from “nobody came”, because to a listing they are the same thing: no visitors means no votes either way. Both get the time back.
Before the board fills up (the early-bird window)
Until the board has hit 20 sites for the first time, no clocks run and nothing settles. Votes are already being counted and displayed, but nobody can be voted out yet. Extra time cannot be bought either — there is no clock to add it to, and we are not going to sell hours that nothing is counting down.
This is a real advantage for whoever gets in early. The same $5 buys an open-ended run instead of 6 hours, and every vote you collect in that window still counts when settlement finally arrives. The moment the 20th site lands, every clock on the board starts at once.
Settlement
When your clock hits zero, we count what is on the board at that instant:
- More than 50% exile — your site comes off the board and does not come back. There is no removal announcement and no wall of shame; it just stops being listed. That domain is barred from the board permanently, and paying again will not undo it.
- 50% or more keep — you move to the Honor Roll, permanently, with the tally frozen exactly as it stood.
- A tie counts as keep. Zero votes counts as keep, with a popularity of zero — bottom of the Honor Roll, but on it.
The Honor Roll is ordered by the total votes a listing drew before it settled, not by when it survived. Somebody who survives later with a bigger crowd goes above somebody who survived earlier with a smaller one, and every frozen tally stays exactly as it was.
The waitlist
Queued sites are ranked by bid, and every bid is public. When a slot opens, the top bid moves onto the board and starts a fresh 6-hour clock. A bid buys queue position, not a date.
To move a queued site up, submit its URL again and name a higher amount. There is no link to keep and no account to find: the same field that puts a site on the board is what raises its bid, and — like buying a listing time — anyone can do it for any site in the queue, not just its owner.
Money
You are buying a display slot in a public vote. You are not buying a placement, a guaranteed run, traffic, or a result. Being voted out is the mechanism working, not a service failure, so entry fees, extension fees, and bid increases are non-refundable in every case.
Ranking on this site is decided by payment and by votes. Nothing on this site is a review, an endorsement, or a quality assessment of any listed website.
What you can list
Your own site, or one you are authorized to submit. Not someone else's profile — this is not a tool for pointing a crowd at a person. No scams, phishing, malware, adult content, or infringing material. See the content policy for the removal process.
