Even when the front page was bustling with fresh articles every day, the alotd was a throwaway gimmick. It's not needed anymore, just put Lowtaxs Twitter feed in there.

It's part of the "dark" web. I can show you but you'll have to email me your password so I can install it on your account

I'm pretty sure it's a front page thing where a lovely website gets submitted and displayed. I never really looked into it that much and it seems more or less discontinued.

I think the standard for what is considered an 'awful link' just changed

also it started becoming frowned upon to invade other websites

Yeah pretty much. Having to be consistently funny with the actual article would prolly be pretty difficult. Esp if you're taking the daily part of it seriously.

I really miss the ALOTD though because isn't it what generated most if not all of the legal threats? I really miss legal threats.

But no seriously if any of you haven't read the legal threats section on the front page, you're missing out. THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR tried to ruin Lowtax! So did Jones Soda! A few of them came from the ALOTD though if I remember right. Like the "your poison womb" lady.

I think that the problem with the ALotD is that all those sites were found by people looking for weird porn to jerk off to, and now we've got so much weird porn all over the place that no one needs to go searching ne more.

Okay, sorry I forgot about this thread. If you would like to do the ALoD feature, please email me at webmaster@somethingawful.com and either link me some examples of your writing style, or write an example ALoD, so I can see what your sense of humor is like. Thank you for volunteering to help out, everybody!!!

What if ALoD is a weekly article submission? Whoever writes the best article gets the spot for that week. Although, it would be pretty time consuming to assess an article every week

It doesn't have to be daily. Heck, I might just retire it entirely.
