Dissin' on Forte!

[Death Dark]

This is it!  You've been waiting for it for so long, and it's here!  Now, let loose on Forte and let him know what a steaming load his site is!

Actually, please only add CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, the other stuff doesn't matter.

Personally, Forte, I don't like the design of your site, the comics are good, but the site layout and all is very boring.  Also, your MegaChips don't work.  I read all the Gigas, but the Megas won't link at all (none of them).

And to make things worse, you made our Technomancer's site JUST LIKE YOURS!!!  But until I'm done upgrading my site, I'll have to deal with it.

[Forte]

I just have not been feeling up to starting on the mega chips section. So none of them are links yet. I will eventually though. It just takes forever to image map these things.

The site layout is something that has bothered me for some time. But since I am no expert with things like graphical design, I can't help it right now. That and the fact that the tables and everything on the site were purely dumb luck in creating.

[Death Dark]

I forget that not everyone who web-designs is an artist.  I was born with a creative and artistic talent, so I don't know what life's like without it.  As far as the coding of the design, if you want, I can help out (working on another site besides my own would do me good).

PS  You may want to pin this topic so others may add to the pile of site comments.

[Death Dark]

And so I did help you out!  Well, you're site has a moderately newer design, but I was wondering if it could be done up some more in any way.

Oh, and why is the forum clock wrong?

[Forte]

Looks right to me. And yes it can be done better. But that would take images and divs. complicated at it's finest because of the images, not really the divs.

[Death Dark]

I could help, again.  If I get inspired, I'll just rip apart your code, and let you know.

[Forte]

Whatever.

[Sepuku.exe]

would it be possible to put a direct link to the main site on the homepage of the forums? that would be nice. you could make the power button inside of the circle of light the link. or the usb cover.

[Forte]

Found a redirect topic mod, did what you asked, just not where you asked.

I can't do that since I have no idea where that kind of crap is stored.

[Sepuku.exe]

yay!

The comics need a little cleaning up. They're good, but the story is rushed, and the text boxes too small for the text occasionally, and inconsistent. Mostly, this can be fixed by just making text boxes.

For my comics, after 50 of so, I had pretty much gotten used to the basic routine of making good text boxes.

One thing though, is your custom spriting, since it adds more depth to the comic. I do some, but not that much. Most of my work is for critical characters (Crystalman) or very important stuff. Novaman, Joykiller, and several others were actually sprites submitted by other readers.

I'm assuming you don't have photoshop, which is fine. It's only by chance that I have mine, and I didn't get it for comics. Paint is fine. (A prime example being MS Paint Masterpeices, a subcomic of Bob and George)

What you lack in experience and general "feel" of the comic that is rough at the moment, you make up for in originality.

[Death Dark]

I like them.

As for Photoshop, he has it.  He also has Gimp and Paint.NET, but I'm not sure what he uses.

[Forte]

I barely use Photoshop. I'm not good enough with it to care. Paint.NET I use for minor comic effects and Sigs/Banners/Avatars(?)

GIMP I use for... well at least I have it.

You're the first person to ever criticize my comics on such a level. As much as I have asked for it from so many places, I rarely get good reviews. The first worthwhile thing I was told was to make text boxes. So I did, and I have a file full of text boxes of various sizes and shapes to fit the situation.

I have been told I go too fast, and I thought I fixed that problem... Guess I'll have to try harder. I don't want to go too slow though, because then it gets boring. And I don't want to go into DBZ mode and have four comics just to determine that the heroes are going to the next city... it's hard to strike a balance sometimes.

But you're the first person to ever give me points for originality...

[Death Dark]

I still think they're a little small...

[Forte]

My comics? My sprites? My brain?
