News and announcements

Over last couple of weeks the great abusers (Turkish spammers a.k.a sohbet) are not only submitting spam links (and waste 80% of traffic - up to 1 million hits a day) but they learned how to hijack user accounts as well. Which is not cool at all.

I'm turning the top sites offline till first week of a new year as I'm concerned about site integrity and most of all member's privacy.

Please follow the news in this blog. And I hope Drupal Top Sites will be shining again soon allowing to showcase our lovely Drupal at it's best.
