    I wouldn't take a chance to make sites without using 'nofollow'

    all of my blogs and forums all put nofollow in all the links automatically, except for a few links that I have to specifically make follow by setting them manually

    it is best to make all your links nofollow except for a few chosen ones

    I do not think it is ruining the internet. However, it does make it a bit harder to build links. It just makes it so new webmasters must use a bit more effort when Promoting their Sites.

    I had to check to make sure this thread wasn't from a year ago. 'No-Follow' is not destroying the internet any more than any other technique their algorithm puts into place to keep spammers at bay.

    Well said.... :D

    The key is to get so much traffic that you dont need any search engine then
    you can do what you want with your site.

    Completely true, it was designed to stem the flow of spammers.
