Credit to PG for transparency and also for keeping YNews on the high road.
I did want to browse some of these sites just to see why they might be banned (mapsofindia.com?) and it's a nuisance to have to copy and paste URLs so I parsed that list into one with link tags and put it here:
You might want to use nofollow. Most of these sites are spammers who posted to HN to improve their pagerank, which is what you're doing if you link to them without nofollow.
