RickrollDB: never get rickroll'd again

Have you ever clicked what appears to be an awesome link and received a rendition of Rick Astley’s hit single, “Never Gonna Give You Up” instead? You, sir, have been rickrolled.

Presenting the #1 weapon in the war on rickrolls: the Rickroll Database

  • install Firefox and the AdBlock Plus extension, which blocks ads, but not rickrolls
  • subscribe to the Rickroll blacklist
  • no more rickrolls for you my friend

There’s also simple user vetting of the roll-itude of blacklisted URLs; confirm or dispute entries for mad props & fame
