Fark.com

Fark.com is a community website created by Drew Curtis allowing users to comment on a daily batch of news articles and other items from various websites. Most links are submitted by Fark readers, which are then approved for posting on the main page by admins. Fark is one of the most widely read community sites of its type on the internet.

Sites not linked to

There are certain sites which Fark.com will not link to such as the Washington Post, the New York Times, or Ananova.com. The reason for not linking to the New York Times and Washington Post is that these sites require a user registration, something which annoys most readers of Fark. Submitting any link which requires registration is frowned upon by the Fark community. Members can post links to the New York Times or the Washington Post in the forums during a discussion but may not submit these links directly through the queue.

Fark does not link to Ananova because the website was posting Fark's headlines without giving credit in addition to posting many inacurate articles. Ananova was receiving a great deal of traffic due to Fark's links while refusing to acknolwedge Fark and reciprocate the gesture. While Ananova claimed to not be using Fark's headlines, Drew specifically put a few "fake" links on the main page which Ananova then posted. Drew decided to not accept links from their website.
