If I spent more time on it, it could have been funnier, but as is, it’s a parody of The Deck, the exclusive, almost haughty ad network for high-traffic sites by designers. (My site is low-traffic, and I’m not a designer.) The sites in the network that I read regularly: Kottke.org, whose micropatron initiative I supported; Daring Fireball, which I am a paying member of; and Waxy.org. For sites that are included in an ad network that target design professionals, they don’t feature a lot of writing about web design (maybe that’s why it’s “web and design” and not “web design”?). Both Andy Baio and John Gruber linked to or mentioned Jason Kottke’s article about joining, and it seemed a little self-congratulatory (especially Jeffrey Zeldman’s announcement), and therefore ripe for mockery.
