do you officially represent outpan.com in any way?

are you paid to post these links to their site?

Sorry! No, I own these accounts on Outpan. I'm sorry if it came across as spammy but I did believe they are useful for the community when I posted them on here.

Also, I saw your comment on the "BMI calculator" post saying there were ads on it but there aren't! Can you please let me know where you saw the ads so that I can report them?

My reply about the other post and Outpan in general:

This is a new platform for me so I'm still poking around, I like it so far :) ...but... You had "The Ad-Less, Privacy-Aware BMI Calculator" as the title on that other post... The site's format, especially on first impressions, makes it look like it has ads by embedding other projects on the direct project page I was looking at, and even the privacy policy specifically mentions allowing ads. Also Google and Amazon are both trying to load stuff.

The calculator itself doesn't have any ads or trackers (the source code can be viewed). However, I will look into thte website itself, thanks for the heads-up.

Thanks for getting back with me. We're always a little harsh on the newbies. You'd be surprised how many people make an account, post some links, and never comeback.. or they just post the same stuff over and over.

We're all open source here too and manage our stuff with phab. Your phuks account gives you access and lets you add tickets if you find a bug or want a specific feature. If you have any other questions or comments, please let me know :)

No problem! Looks like a great project. Loads fast and has no ads haha! btw. Have you ever thought about putting a rel="nofollow" attribute to the links submitted?
