:::I also had a comment about the state of articles here. While perusing the wonders of the "random article" button, I came across quite a few class pages (actually most--or all--of them) that had comments that seemed perfectly suited to the talk page of the particular article, but not to its main text. I would happily undertake the task of moving these comments to talk pages and create more objective articles if it would be something useful to do.

Hi. I don't know if this is the place to put this, But i really think that Baltimore should be moved above LOU, since it's LITERALLY a dead site and nobody goes there anymore.

This is true.  Information about defunct sites stays online, but isn't updated and isn't part of the "site order."  LOU has been removed from the list, and should be moved to the bottom of any articles with site-specific content. --[[User:Memoriesonfilm|Max W.]] 12:04, 20 July 2010 (PDT)
