== Legality ==

Have the owners of grouphug.us ever, uh, gotten in trouble with the law? The stuff that's posted on that site, while hilarious, is some of the most horrific shit you could ever lay eyes on. I mean many people on there are basically making public things that are downright illegal. I'd be amazed if nobody has threatened to have this site removed before.


:How is a list of illegal actions in itself illegal? Isn't that what the police report in a newspaper is? Being able to anonymously confess your actions is not encouraging people to commit the horrendous acts we see on the site. [[User:68.228.80.106|68.228.80.106]] 00:53, 12 October 2007 (UTC)⏎

== "NN" ==

The website is notable. It has received massive press coverage, receives millions of hits, and the author has published an anthology of its contents to much acclaim. Why is this template on the article header? I removed it, but "[[User:Haakon|Haakon]]" reinserted it. It also [http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?q=&url=grouphug.us receives 35 million views per week], on average, and is the source of much controversy. If that isn't enough for inclusion I don't know what is. [[User:Kinneyboy90|<font color="blue">Aaрон</font><font color="red"> Кинни</font>]] ([[User talk:Kinneyboy90|t]]) 22:29, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

: It may be [[WP:WEB|notable]], but it seemed to me that you removed the nn template because you found the article interesting or useful, and would like it to be kept for that reason. This in and of itself does of course not establish notability, so I reinserted the template. I may have misunderstood your reasoning, and Group hug may of course be notable (though notability should be documented in the article). [[User:Haakon|Haakon]] 22:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
