Yeah, a very large portion of the Sims sites that get started don't continue after initially setting up the site. I'd guess less than half are still active after the first month.

Right. When Mike Smith created the site, he made the rules. His goal was to hunt down and catalog every Sims site there was, so he listed every site he could find that was related to The Sims. Then, to get him to display a button and description for a site, the webmaster had to have link to the Ultimate Sims List somewhere on the site.

I've continued the same scheme ever since I started hosting The List, which I did when Mike couldn't continue any more. The one variation I added was having to ask people to make their own buttons because I just couldn't keep up with it. Then when the spammers and trolls got to be too much, I turned off the feature where you could submit updates and required people to post a note here on Sun Sims.
