The sad thing is it was a perfectly fine site before they ruined it. Having somewhere to point people to show them that no, Bill Gates wasn't giving away a million dollars or whatever was a handy service to have. Simple, non-controversial. The only ones that had a problem with it were the extremely gullible. Then they made the mistake of dragging politics into it, and it ruined the site, like it ruins everything.
