I think it's sad that Max considers people who disagree with this new caste system to be "upset they didn't make the cut." Not everyone in here cares about being in some little club on the internet. People care about having equality. The featured user system creates an unequal playing field. Why would any want to create a site when you have to compete with a list of "featured users?" It's like pitching to Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire or Sammy Sosa on steroids. You can't win until the system changes.
I fullheartedly agree with this. This whole featured profile thing is a pretty lame idea. I'll admit, some of the users have made good sites in the past. However, the majority of the sites I have been seeing on that list over the last couple days have been subpar. Who cares about these "featured" users anyways? I could care less who makes a site. What really matters is the site itself. We are putting these "featured users" on a pedestal. That is sad to me.
