Well, this was a fun little idea that me and a friend came up with. Its a fun site where you post things that ...well... piss you off. You rant on other peoples rants, and you can create your own. Any ideas on features....or anything like that would be great!

most of them rants are......just daft. it looks like a fun site. but the rants arent rants. their just people being one sided about some.

for example, the firefox one? the point? the person who wrote it is just a firefox fanboy.

i might sign up to rant about some of the rants on there ;)

cool

Awesome site mate, really good concept.
I didnt go deep into your site but could i advise one thing! make it more clear maybe through a disclaimer that people may get affended and that your not responsible for any racism/religious blasphem/political etc cause so stuck up people might want to get all agro and take it out on you where if the disclaimer is there then for them to use the site they must agree! or atleast have it there. just dont want you getting struck by the tools out there :-)

Anyway yeah really like it!

You definitely need some sort of disclaimer to say that racist etc ranting is not allowed and you are not responsible for any of the posting.

Its a good idea but one thing that did strike me was that on first glance its screams Digg at you, especially those big "views" boxes on the left of the main page so it might be useful to get a more distinctive look going.

I am also working on this site. Yes it does look too much like digg; we are going to redo most of the design. And there is a disclaimer that you must agree to when posting rants and when you register. Anyone have any design ideas?

And moopy, people rant about what he want. The site does not moderate what people post (for the most part). If you don't like what people rant about you should register and tell them why.

Hey, Pepper!

I don't think I'd use this site personally, but it sounds like an interesting concept for a site. ;)

One thing I did like was the tagline. I did have a good chuckle. :)

Looks a lot like Digg ... the rants are a little gay if you ask me. Especially the Michael Moore one

Ok.... The content of rants has nothing to do with the actual site. Rants are not filtered at all.
