Rules
The whole game is one sentence long: rank is the bid. Everything below is what that means in practice.
How ranking works
Rank is the bid
Money orders the board and nothing else does — no votes, no algorithm, no editorial. Equal bids stay in the order they were placed: the older bid keeps the higher rank, so matching someone is not enough to pass them.
What a spot costs
New listings are whole dollars, $5 minimum, $999,999 maximum, $1 at a time. Taking a rank off someone costs $1 more than their bid. Taking #1 costs $5 more than the leader — otherwise the top spot would flip back and forth for a dollar and never settle.
Bidding under #1 still works
A bid below the leader is a real bid. It lands wherever that money reaches on the board, which is why the list fills in below the top instead of turning away everyone who cannot afford it. Bids already on the board keep their amount until they raise or get outranked.
Raising your own bid
Enter the same URL or @handle again and up your bid. It must be at least $1 above your current bid, and you pay only the difference — holding a rank never means paying for it twice. Someone else cannot take your rank by paying that difference; they pay the full price of the rank.
Platform links are keyed by their path
App Store, Play Store, GitHub and similar links are identified by their whole path, so two apps on the same platform never share one bid. Everything after the domain counts as part of the listing.
What you can list
A product website, or an X handle
Those are the two things this board takes. A website is listed at the address you submit; a handle is listed as the profile it points to.
No chat or invite links
Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar are not allowed. The board is for products and profiles, not group chats.
No sexual content
If it is porn, NSFW, or an adult platform, it does not belong on the board.
Query parameters are stripped
Listing links are stored without their query string, so affiliate, referral, and tracking URLs will not work. What gets listed is the address itself.
No link shorteners
A shortener hides where a row actually goes, and it would smuggle back the tracking that stripping the query string removes. Submit the real address instead.
After you pay
Payment claims the rank
A completed payment is what claims a spot — nothing is held or reserved before checkout. There are no accounts: the URL or handle you paid for IS your listing, and re-entering it is how you find it again. Your listing is then public, and clicks open the address you submitted.
Refunds and chargebacks
Bids are final. A refunded or disputed charge gives up the rank it bought: the listing falls back to the best bid it still has money for, and leaves the board entirely if it has none.
