Don't listen to the post from mbenga -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=400014.0Folks, make more alt-coins. Make all you want.
The codebase is open source, so go grab it, tweak it a bit and make it unique.
I like getting a good laugh from the names of these coins, Doge, Cat, Coinyewest, etc.
Keep on creating!

no centralised authority is what we got. it is everyone's right to create their own coin!
open source means you can't close the door behind you. this was destined to happen as soon as bitcoin was released.
to take the contrary position is like pissing in the wind. can't stop the coin.
