Agreed. Don't speak like I don't know of colour schemes, now. Seriously, black and light green? Lots of gradients? Could be better. Maybe stick around a bunch of dark green tones (except for the text of course).
I wanted a minimalistic design for my site, btw. That's why it's so simple.
i took the criticism and responded.. my point being how could davince say anything about the colour system when he has a non colour webste?
and johnny your hardly being nice to a noob that would like to be welcomed...and im not a kid
and chris, you dont think you have given me a negative opinion about the users of this community...
just because im a noob does this mean i have to take crtique and not give it back??
so if it helps..
i appolagise
now if only someone would give me a possitive comment
You took the critisism, but also attacked DaVinces site in the process as a bad reaction. If DaVince gave you a positive comment, would you still be critisising DaVinces site in retaliation?
Thought not.
Now, my opinion of your website: It's functional. It does what it says on the tin, it's easy to navigate, it's got lots of content, which is good. The layout doesn't bother me, but the colour scheme does.
your first comment, your right, but davince gave me a negative comment.
think of it like this...
you use quality toilet roll, i tell you its rubbish...
but i use old newspaper to do the deed...
do i have the right to tell you that your toilet roll is rubish??
i think not
thanks for the website comments..
i agree with what you say, but im still liking the colours..although i am being put off them
Oh, and I'm not gonna be all "wooo nice!!!" if I don't mean it. Like I said, good layout. But my personal opinion (I really should have made that clear, how clumsy of me!) is that the colour scheme is not too well chosen.
Reacting like THAT, though, is a bit harsh, don't you think? I'm never a person to make war.
True, who cares about half-old half-new styled HTML code if the site works, right?
Just a suggestion though: what about adding a second theme to the site, so people who don't like the green theme can switch? That's always a good idea (but is it worth the effort? You decide!)
I know my XHTML, but it's not that damn important as long as it renders well in most major browsers, and gets the job done. I can't believe all these idiots who go "Yeah, the site is perfect otherwise, but it doesn't validate so it's shit."
finally someone who is not a complete *censor*
i feel almost that you are defending me from the barage of attack i am suffering here.. thankyou
davince im obviously a noob with html, how could i possibly create a skin selector? is it even possible with html? i dont dont know any other language, only a little css.. end of
i wont be here anymore, thanks for welcoming me to the community.
All this spawned from copying the name of a very popular development studio and for your initial attack on DaVince. I'm nice to people who are nice back.
He arrives. He posts a link. He can't take the comments of others. He leaves! He hasn't even looked at the actual community, just how many times his link is clicked and to receive "OMG THATS GREAT LOL" comments. Right. <_<
I figured you did the layout all on your own, so I thought you could do that. If not, that doesn't matter, you'll learn in time.
Thanks for calling me a "censor" even though I haven't been unnice to you.
i have looked at the community acually and i believed i could offer help to people with my knowledge of of klik programmes
the *censor* wasn't aimed directly at you, it was more a general summery of peple here, and i also believe the problem spawned from the fact users didnt like it that i "attacked" davinces site... but its fine for everyone to attack mine
and copying the name??
if you mean id software and Ld software, similar yes, but not the same.
this is a big community you have here, but imo its full of bullys, people who have been here a while and think it gives them the right to gang up on noobs
DaVinces site wasn't on show, yours was. Axel posted here too, shall we criticise his avatar, or perhaps something else that is completely unrelated and wasn't posted?
i think your just being perdantic now...
so the website of a guy that slated my site is completely unrelated...ok
all i did was look at his and said it looks very basic campared to mine.
and if i said your colours were bad on your website/s, what would your reaction be i wounder???
im sure you would respond by saying "thanks, i apreciate your comments"
Defend, yes, but if it's not really attacked anyway... Why even defend it? You could just have said something like "too bad to hear that", that would have been enough.
People aren't bullies. They just defend me because they know who I am, and they don't know who you are for attacking me more harshly than I commented on your site. This is pretty natural: who would you support sooner? A friend who commented on something (though not too positively) or someone who starts giving more negative reactions back? Exactly.
Take it easy and learn to take comments, right? There's such a thing as being TOO defensive. No hard feelings, then?
ldsoftware's comment on DaVince's site was obviously irrelevant and unnecessary, but it's not as if he was flaming you or something. You don't have to start a massive internet war just because he didn't take the criticism that well. You can correct him, like Circy did, but leave it there.
Black and green can work well - if you take shades that lie close to each other. Taking black and darkgreen and a simple gradient, it won't work as well.
Speaking of which, I need to do something about that blue gradient on my site.
so what, you cant c the difference between an i and an l...
thats like sayin m c f c is the same as m u f c
or do you have a little trouble with dyslexia?
