By the way you now have 237 unique sites. So 238 is the next number. I have put all the sites on a spreadsheet and am starting to sort through them all giving them descriptions. Hopefully when this thread is completed I can distribute the list.

Dreaddisease, I was just starting to do that as well. But, it sounds like you're further ahead than I. If you do it, can you group them into like categories like Fantasy, Medieval, cartography, sci-fi, Horror, etc.?

Sure no problem. I will give them all catagories and brief descriptions. I just have a hard time cuz I go to the site and spend an hour searching and reading before I finally realize why I went there in the first place.
