User favorites, no, really.

Well ladies and gents,
It's been a long time in the making, but real user favorites are finally here. I'm starting you off with a blank list so you may have to rummage around to find what you want!
I've also hammered out a good deal of bugs and done some nice cleanup in the process.

You are now able to add a site to your favorites list from any site profile page, you can also add notes to each favorite about why you added it or why you like it.
The user profile page has drastically changed to be chopped up to provide a lot more information about users.
I've stripped the slashes from site titles and site text, if you are still getting it in your image text, edit the site and it should disappear.
When commenting on a site you will now be cut off at 512 characters, which is the limit for a comment. After 512 characters you will no longer be able to type. This should keep people from getting cut off comments.
Site creation is now limited to once every 15 minutes to keep people from spamming to get noticed.
Users who comment on a site they have favorited now get a special icon with "bling" to show they've favorited that site.
I can't remember what else I've done, but there's more to come soon.

crimson, I was trying to quell the desire to instantly avoid reading the news and posting your number, obviously I failed miserably. I like how everyone says how much sh*t I give ebaum about making a profit when his name comes out of my mouth about once a month and the only time I ever said that it was to his father, once. If you want to criticize me for profiting from site sponsorships, feel free. If it weren't for site sponsorships this site would probably be dead due to lack of hardware.
That's the idea KingCrimson. You know how much money YTMND got after 8 months with the donate button on the fron page with no incentive? $40. The fact is, yes, there are a ton of great sites that don't get seen due to a bad layout of the site and it's inner workings, but without an incentive, no one will donate.
