Thanks Shane. Epic. **The site is now verification-free.** All your previously hidden sites are now live in all their glory. -- This will now allow unfettered access to historic web sites you've worked on. Simply edit the 'Version' name to a date that's roughly accurate (for sorting purposes). -- This *will also* now allow for the collection of credits for Mobile Apps and Desktop Software, since there's no need to do a curl to check anyone's web root. Conflict/spam may still arise but I. Will. Resist. The. Urge. (for now) Mobile Apps / Software Applications... Other categories of things needing centralised credits? I guess go for Games, too - they typically have them, but are they centralised? Why the heck not. I'm gonna need a bigger coffee.
