A few comments:
-Allow users to find subdomains: I have a subdomain that I want to look up, and it won't let me (forums.krazyletter.com)
-Maybe tell people the meanings of response codes? I know them, but some people may not know the difference between codes say like: 301, 302, 500, 403, 401, etc.
-I don't see the "requiring user's to enter an image code that only humans can read" feature yet. Is it in the making, or forgotten?
-Robot information: does the robot have a User-Agent? Can we block it using robots.txt? (I won't, but just one idea)
-Another privacy thing (I don't care about, someone else might): Will you use robots.txt to prevent googlebot/others from harvesting information from following links? Will you still require an image code if the link is not sent through your script? Otherwise people could still harvest data by entering in the links directly.

Questions:
How do you query the pagerank with PHP? I never found a way.
How do you auto-take pictures of sites with PHP? Do you do that manually? If so, why not hotlink from Alexa's thumbnails?

-Working on subdomain support
-I'll add response code info
-Image validation is only for full whois details
-I'll add robot blocking info to the webmaster section
-I have blocked robots from accesing details.php. I have a system in place to block automated queries

-http://www.googlecommunity.com/scripts/google-pagerank.php
-The pictures arn't auto-taken with php. They are taken by a scanner robot I made. Alexa charges for it's thumbnail use, and I have more plans for the thumbnails once I get enough.

Great, hope to see the improvements!

-About the google pagerank script: I don't see it, it just says that the domain is parked.
-About the images: will you be sharing your archive with other websites, or will you charge for it like Alexa? I didn't know that Alexa didn't allow you to take pictures from their archive, sorry

Followup:
I don't think you have to pay:
http://thumbnails.alexa.com/images/b....com_.big.jpeg :

http://thumbnails.alexa.com/images/b....com_.big.jpeg
http://thumbnails.alexa.com/images/b....com_.big.jpeg
etc. You see the pattern?

If you get a 404, then just have it put:
http://thumbnails.alexa.com/thumbnai...no_pic_big.gif
