Email added in the profile. I would be more than willing to show how you guys are sending millions of hits (daily!) to a site scraping content and buying cheap backlinks.

I'm surprised that such tactics work in 2014, and am just as surprised that I got your attention. Hacker news is a powerful place!

Hey, I didn't see an email address at https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=r0fl ? Maybe the page is cached and only gets rebuilt every so often, but you might want to double-check?

Sometimes people make a mistake and just put it into 'email' (which is non-public) and not into 'about' (which is public).

@natsu was right, I only had the email in "email" and not "about". Just fixed that, sorry about that.
