Hotornot
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
The trend took off, with many online quasi-dating sites allowing participants to rate each other's looks, and the rise of rating communities on LiveJournal.
Users
While some people use Hot or Not for a legitimate reason (teh funnay), the vast majority of users are attention whores with no social skills who brag about their ratings on their LiveJournals. As can be expected, most of these users are either fugly or camwhores (not necessarily mutually exclusive), suffer from Internet Disease, use netspeak in place of the English language, and write terrible profiles that make them seem just as annoying as they really are.
To give you some idea of the language crimes the users have committed, here's an unedited profile from one of the users: mt name is teresa i like to dance travel met people i like sports I would like to man whos polite honest sexy not very jelous and over 30 or 29 years old . and has a good heart and loves me for me.

Fun Games
Hot or Not can be a source of endless amusement for anyone, unless you stumble across your picture and find that you were rated a "2" and hang yourself. That situation is rare, though, and has only occurred in small Indiana towns.
- Search for men or women over 40, and rate them all 10. Don't forget to save the really creepy ones.
- Search for men or women that are 18-25 and rate them all 1. Especially good for annoying camwhores who post 20 different profiles.
- Search your area for people to meet, and see who has the most pathetic picture/keywords/description. Bonus points if you know them. Extra bonus points if they have more than 3 profiles.
- Search for straight men (if you're male) or women (if you're female) and click "Meet Me" to every one of them. Their responses are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, or, if they know where you live, a rupture to your colon.
