LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Add-ons can wreck your computer, your gaming experience, and be something like a black hole of tweaks and frustration. Use at your own risk. Also, don't hack the game, that's against the rules and, more importantly, it sucks.
Ok folks, bring it on! Here is where you get to help your fellow Defenders improve their WoW experience. There are a few links on the Website, but thery are waaaaaaaaay dowwn at the bottom, and I doubt anyone even knows they exist. Besides, they are rudimentary.
If there are sites, links, add-ons that you swear by (or even just think would be of general interest) please throw them out here for everyone else.

Just a few things I'd like to point out: www.curse-gaming.comThis is quite possibly the BEST WoW Addon Site available, and contains almost anything imaginable. There are a few rules of thumb to 'always' remember when using addons. 1 ) Some addons will 'always' mess up following a patch. You will end up having to download an update. Some addons will not. If this sounds like an exercise in frustration to you, I can understand. I used to shy away from addons for the same reason - but after using them, I'm more than willing to deal with the added few minutes of work following a patch of updating my UI. 2 ) NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER ( Did I mention NEVER ) use a UI program that 'requires' you to use an executable file to run it ( meaning it is a separate program ). Nearly 'all' of these programs are trojans that will either mess your computer up, or send information ( such as your account name and password!! ) to individuals. As long as they are standard mod files that go into your interface folder and interface with the actual game, you are fine - if its an executeable - DON'T TOUCH IT. 3 ) Ask questions! Almost all of the good addons on Curse Gaming have a description of precisely what the addon does, and offers screenshots of what it will look like in game. Example: ^ Click to enlarge the picture so you can actually see it. Didn't wanna break word wrap. Thats what my UI generally looks like. Everything on teh screen ( yes 'anything' ) is moveable if you want it somewhere else. I'm not trying to talk anyone into using addons, but if you're just on the edge because you think they're too complicated - but you really dislike the default UI ( I really disliked it ), I encourage you to at least 'try'. As long as you're downloading non executeable UI files, you're 'fine'. Download them from a reputable source ( Curse Gaming is good ), and when in doubt - ask!

Doc... I like your example for an existentialist perspective, but perhaps there is supposed to be a picture there? It's pretty darn small (infinitesimal) on my comp...

Curse gaming seems really slow to load.
