Passed away.

Thanks for being a part of us, even if it wasn't always on the best of terms.

Does anyone else use them at all?

I found The Hunger Site several years ago back when I followed El Goonish Shive (it was linked from there) and I click on each of their 6 sections almost every day. They even have games you can play on there too. There's also Free Rice, which donates food to the hungry based on your answers to vocabulary questions.

I like them because even someone like me with low income can help the world I've donated actual money/stuff of my own before too, usually loose change (although I save most of it) and old clothes.

Free Rice was insanely popular in my high school. I've screwed with it only a bit since then, though... I probably should more. :/

Nope.

Could be because I think they might be a scam trying to give my computer a virus or something.

I remember I told my 8th grade English Teacher of FreeRice and the rest of the vocabulary days, which we had once a week, were spent on the website. She apparently was quite fond of it.

They're not as far as I know; they've been around forever.

Dunno how tangible the results are.

I remember considering writing a sort of free-rice IRC bot a few years back, then the interest in the site vanished faster than my motivation usually does.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
