Well guys I have been mulling over for the past six months or so whether or not I should publish my parody of Classmates.com.....DeadClassmates.com. I know the legal ramifications of these types of sites, but I have much success developing and running controversial sites in years past such as the now defunct Polesmoker.com, Combover.com (as featured on 'The View' morning show), and others I won't disclose for fear of offending those here.

I have the site almost done, and basically it would simply be a parody site with no monetary interest. There would be no charge to sign up on the site, it would simply be a database of deceased classmates so that visitors could log on and see which of their classmates have passed. Morbid I know, but the traffic that these types of sites receive once word spreads are extraordinary. The domain gets alot of type-ins daily, and it would be such a waste to see it just go to waste. I was contacted about partnering with the owners of DeadClassmates.net, but once they launched their site I found it to be lacking in gaining visitor interest (to be nice about it.)

Let me know what you guys think as I always value everyone's opinion on this board.
