   When you guys launch your websites please post them here so I can crawl   
   and index them. I run my own P2P search engine called YaCy. It's much   
   better for finding individual sites like these because there's no   
   paid-for-result-prioritzatin or censorship. There's also wiby.me which   
   is a hand-curated index although not p2p.
