    Anyone else just get this email? lol

For this reason please create a new account and after that submit your application following this link http://chromespirit.com/submit

    Best regards,

    Mostly funny cause I don't know which extension they're talking about.
    Looks like you got some competition, Chrome? Or did you change the site address? xD

    Either way, I'm not posting anything till I get the time to fix it all.

    No idea where they got your email Waha, but they don't appear to have mine. Well, that or they don't think much of the couple of simple extensions I've posted here.

    There'll no doubt be a hundred such sites springing up and competing with each other for fans, and perhaps business. They always seem to include advertising at some stage, though I can't see any of it unless I use IE without proxy filtering. (And what an in-the-face shock that is when I do it!)

    Well, it doesn't look half as good as ChromeExtensions.org..

    Funniest thing is that they have the same extensions :P

    @Stamga,
    I think that once you have developed an extension your aim is to get widely published and recognized...
    You did not think that the developers were doing this only for this site didn't you?

    I'v just checked a few, at least it doesn't seem that they have changed code (removed author/added spyware), but what worries me is:

    Registrant:
    Mindroi Robert-Florentin
    Sos. Pantelimon nr. 12 bl. 5C sc. A ap. 9
    Bucuresti, Bucuresti 021631
    Romania

    In my world, Romania equals spam and spyware.. So I would watch out (you can probatly trace who visits from Romania..)

    Hey Benni, I've known lots of cool folks from Romania. And don't forget that Bucharest is vampire capital of the world - diss them and they'll turn up in the depths of night when you least expect it...
