    I find that hack irritating. I hate when all them words have popups. It's annoying.

    I love that hack just because of this feature My main target is heavy metal and rock users and we have around 300 biographies under our biography section which all have autolinks.

    For me i think it is pretty usefull on seo bases because even the links in rss feeds are autolinked when you use a rss viewer like sage. so there will be backlinks for your threads. Nearly all my gal autolinked threads have more Pr then the ones that don't have. So i believe it is good for seo bases

    That's only if you have the popup enabled. It just "autolinks" also without popping up. It's GOLD on my board since I have so many users asking questions and it sort of autoanswers those for them. Plus, we autolink all of our moderator's names so the newbies know who they are

    I, for one, will be leaving GAL on my site whether it plummets my SEO or not
