DON'T Do It This Way (http://www.dontdoitthisway.com) is a site my design partner and I threw together literally last night and today.
We had the idea a few weeks ago and just decided to bang it out over the last couple of days.
It is in a beta mode now as we have some help text and tweaks here and there but we would love some feedback and suggestions.
It's built on 6.2 on the Alez 2.0 theme which is a SUPER template that is easy to customize and is very well laid out.
Modules: Fivestar,Friend,votingapi, addthis and a few others (image I think).
We've only been tinkering with Drupal (and Joomla) for the past month. Would love some feedback.

Much Thanks
Thanks for the feedback.
We realized very soon that it was going to be hard to keep most of the posts serious. We are thinking about letting poster choose a "seriousness" rating so people can actually search for 'serious' advice or just silliness.
Very intuitive
You have struck upon one of those very rare internet hit kinda ideas. Wish you success!

Much Credit the the Drupal Community
We hope it goes well too.
We have only been dabbling in open sources CMSs for the past month+ (Joomla and Drupal) and without all the years of obvious hard work that the Drupal community as a whole has put in to making Drupal easy to use and make all those modules click together so well it would have been a serious and probably impossible undertaking for us.
We are proud to join the Drupal community.
Well You Did It !!
Very nice, refreshing idea...
Can you tell me more about that template you started from and the image module you used please?
Theme: We started with the
Theme: We started with the Alez 2.0 Theme http://drupal.org/node/209630.
Image Module: We started with the Image Module but changed to the Image Filter (Img) (http://drupal.org/node/230614) module because it suited our single image needs better.

Would love some Drupalites to post some "unadvice"
We're looking for some people to post in our technology section with stories of "how not to do" tech related things (followed up with some actual advice).
They can range from comical to serious but entertaining is key.
