Due to a recent attack on our servers, we are not accepting any new members right now.
We need time to add some safeguards to prevent this type of attack in the future.
When we finish the new registration system, automated registration
will be available again. We refuse to give in to spammers like so many of the
other "social bookmarking" sites that turned into nothing more than spam havens
and then died off in 2008. See this blog post for details about
the recent attack.
We are serious about eliminating SPAM from Linkatopia!
Link spammers post links to their own web pages on as many other sites as
possible in order to increase their rank in search engines. They create multiple
accounts with the same links by using disposable email addresses. They generally do not
care about any of the communities they post to and simply take advantage of free
sites like Linkatopia. These are not useful or enjoyable links. They are pages
that try to sell you something, and in many cases give misleading information.

If you recently spammed our site in an effort to promote your web site or pages,
take note that while your account will be deleted, your web sites are saved in a
separate SPAM database. This list is then shared with Google(TM), Yahoo(TM), and
other online communities. If you want to get your sites blacklisted, please continue
to spam our site. You're helping us remove your sites from internet searches.
