Yes I meant tweak... not twinks you assholes




OK, I love the org. I mean, I luuuuurve the org.
It's a site that has long ago transcended it's implicit mission statement--namely, unbiased news and discussion of the one I shall not mention.

The General Discussion forum has always eclipsed those of other fansites for other artist as well as other sites devoted to Prince. The banter on this org's general discussion forum is just off the hook. You don't believe me, go to housequake.com and read their boring ass General Discussion forum--oh wait, nevermind. It's been shut down by the one we shall not mention.



But one of the problems I have with the org is that the interface is 'wordy'. And for good reason--fools are STILL posting videos and requests for bootlegs despite the fact that this could possibly be the most aggressive site I've ever seen at discouraging and dealing with such violations. Bravo, mods

I think alot of this is due to the interface being so word. Folks just ignore all the stuff and I'm suspecting alot of folks aren't really native English speakers to begin with.



So, this is strictly in excercise in 'ideas'---this is not meant as a harmful or mean spirited critique of a website I have come to adore over the years.



So here's some asthetic 'changes' I'm pondering:





By removing some of the color, and streamlining the content into tables, it makes them less confusing to the eye--and even though you'd have to use small fonts, the overall effect is still easier to read.



Also, the vast majority of the times any of the warnings are needed is during the actual posting of content. So why not just move the warnings to the interface that the posts take place? It makes sense I think.







Lastly, 100 pixel icons are no longer the major bandwidth concern they used to be. And the benefit of those compared to our current 64x64 pixel are obvious below:


64x64


100x100


That's right folks, 100 pixel equals TITTIES!





just a few thoughts. Thanks.

with 64 pixels, just like in real-estate, location is everything

I knew this would get pointed out, but I didn't expect the response to be so clever

I like your idea Dan, nice and clear

Thanks Charlotte
I like your boobs so I'm honored

I'm trying to understand the aesthetic of 'empty space' the way the Japanese do with my own website, but I keep failing at it.

Puuurrty

I was going to post the oral emoticon on either side of that picture of you swimming at the lake, but I think I would have been pushing my luck.

Imago said:

What is with you guys and that picture?

Vendetta1 said:

it's still up on my magnet board

Very Dan

I like the idea. A lot. Now if Imago would pick a fucking avatar and stick with it, the org would be a happier place. I think the boobie pic would be the one to make permanent.

I second that, Dan has a nice one of my boobies he could dig up

ZombieKitten said:

He needs to share the wealth.

squirrelgrease said:

you need to pay off some mods to get it approved

ZombieKitten said:

The only way to know for sure is to submit it for approval.

Mars23 said:

only submit it while the girl mods are sleeping

ZombieKitten said:

That looks pretty cool Dan.

Mars23 said:

Hurry and approve it.

great idea!

squirrelgrease said:

Haven't seen it yet. Need it in orgnote.

Mars23 said:

yeah Dan, hurry up!

squirrelgrease said:

that will happen when prince follows thru on promotion of new material


very nice dan, like the "clean" look
and you are right...warnings need to be where you are posting, not hidden away.

Why aren't any of my threads in GD on the front page?



This is bullshit.
