Title: Holy smokes, it\'s who?
Post by: Aaron on November 06, 2004, 07:38:57 AM
First off, thanks for the Birthday Thread Titan :)

It has been a while...what have I been up to?
Well, I tried to get the whole new site off the ground, and basically didn\'t have the expertiese to do what I wanted to do. After many searches for people to try and help make a site, talking to friends that "knew" someone and the like, I pretty much had to concede defeat. :(

The good news, at least for me, is that I\'ve taken over Editor In Chief duties at http://www.psxextreme.com and that\'s going pretty well. I\'ll have to track down Bjorn and talk to the guy that owns PSXE, but maybe when these forums finally go kaput, they could find a home there or something. I dunno.

I also write for http://www.gaminghorizon.com which is a pretty kickass site. A guy that lives neat me runs it, so that\'s how I got hooked up with that place. It\'s a small world when you\'re talking to someone about writing for their site and you find out they live 5 miles away from you.

I guess I should check back more often, but to be honest, I felt bad that I couldn\'t get the new site off the ground. I really wanted to, and did as much as I could do, and it\'s dissapointing to not be able to get it done.

Anyways, check out the sites I write for if you\'re bored, and Bjorn, drop me an email if you get the chance. I\'ve reformatted no less than 4 times this year and don\'t have your email anymore.

Why hasn\'t anybody taken up Cyrus on his offer to help out with the new site?  He\'s offered to be taken advantage of numerous times.:p

Yeah just checked out the design. It\'s pretty weak.

Wow Aaron I thought you dropped off the face of the earth. It\'s been a long time. Too bad about the site. Web Designing is pretty tough. I did not know how complicated it could be til I had to design my own business and web page in schoo project for my html class.

well one could try to use the resources of the forums to get a new site off ther ground.

For instance you could use php nuke as a base then most of the work would be done and then we could get a few of the members to help with the redesign.

I for one would be more than happy to help out in any way I can.

and that\'s no bulls**t..cyrus converted some files for me to jpeg format...and sent the files right back to my email almost immediately...i know that really has nothing to do with creating a website, it\'s just to show that cyrus is not bulls**ting when he says he\'ll do something...

Not a problem. But it was like 5 months ago when I posted it. You do a search on your name?

I hadn\'t seen any offer you made Cyrus - but it sounds very nice. Do you have any links to sites you\'ve done? Feel free to send me a PM, I\'ll try to check back a little more often. As you can see by the "constructive" criticism of a few people, every design sucks and everyone can apparently do better. It\'s tough as hell getting a good site up and running, but if you\'ve got some skills, I\'d love to talk.
