you should ask yourself why it is still there... maybe because Google has adsense on it, some of the makers are friends of friends and such;)

Some sites are more equal than others

If you click the yellow "View Complete Forum Thread With Replies" button, it will take you to the forum (where you will find your answer), except it sticks a hideous BigResource banner on the top frame. i HATE this site. Thank you for posting your frustrations, I 100% agree. They are stealing search results from the good forum sites and using it to get ad views. Sleazy as hell.

My guess is that they're flying just below Google's radar. What they're doing is bad, but I think it's probably just barely within the terms-of-use, so there's no violation that would warrant getting removed.

I'm with you Mike.
I've spent all day trying to sort out problems and keep inadvertently clicking on links to this site. 'Oh yeah', I think, 'a solution to my problem' and then, bang, a gigantic popup asking me to fill in some stupid quiz to view the solution. F@#$ing frustrating.
Avoid 'em like the plague.

Well it would appear that things are changing, I just repeated my original search "php upload The connection was reset" and there was no BigResource link in sight!

So I *hope* that Google has now put this god awful mess to bed :)

First off let me say I hate bigresource with a passion. All they do is spam google's index. The fact that google would put them often times in the top 5 suggests that google has no freaking clue how to serve good results so they rely on bigresource to sort it out all for them.

However, let me just say that there is a yellow button "View Complete Forum Thread With Replies" that takes you to the original thread.

The fact that you EVENTUALLY end up where you want to be, sometimes maybe -- still sucks. Because often times you search for a 2 part issue and the question up above has one of the elements you need to know about, and some question down below covers a 2nd element of what you need to know -- and neither one of them fit the solution of what you wanted to know individually, but because bigresource jerkoffs pasted all that junk onto one page, google sends you there.

It is just a trashy site and it needs to die.

BigResource is the epitomy of a bad site. No content, just spam.

Is it just me or have they finally gotten rid of this spam site from most of their searches? Praise Google!

Yep looks like they may have done. Theres been alot of pressure on google recently to clean itself up (read techcrunch) may have been something to do with that.

Still piles of Big Resource spam results in Google for me. It's got to be the most annoying site in the world for web developers who rely on blogs, forums and tutorial sites for reference and help in their work. It's forever coming up in the SERPs and wasting my clicks. Google please sort your algorithm out to BANISH BIG RESOURCE!!

Now every use can block this site from their personalized search results.

Still come up in searches. Maybe Google own "BugResource" ;-)
