Feature Friends Page

This might not be RIGHT on the topic... but we have been toying with the idea of taking a domain - say, amateurinternet.com, and putting up a toplist for amateurs. And nothing else - just straight to the index page.

I know, it's not exactly a brandspanking new, original idea... but if it was 'invitation only' and only for individual amateur sites, it could be a traffic generator. A clean toplist, with no extra popups, redirects, no banners, just the names and a thumbnail pic of those participating.

No traffic skimming, cj scripts, etc, etc, etc - all of the things I hate about toplists sometimes. Just - for the love of god - a LIST.

I don't know about everyone else, but we've been working on creating our own sources of traffic. We run two linklists now, started up an MGP, a TGP - all in the name of creating traffic sources that don't rely on the vagaries of AVS'es going out of business, or lists making prohibitive rules, etc.

Curious if there's any interest. We won't use any of the current 'friends' type pages, as - as mentioned earlier- they seem to turn into pop up hell.
