From what I understand, the splash screen is not suppose to be anything fancy. It just is to inform people about the forums. It looks fine to me.

The forum itself is a different story. The software this site uses (UBB) is not very customizable. You can change the colors around (which the moderators have done) and change the logo at the top (Which will be done soo since there was a competition in the general forum).
(of course you coyld do much more by hacking around with the code)

I don't see what is wrong with the UBB design? It is very clean and looks professional as well as quick loading.

I totally disagree on "my web site is better than this", but thats just my opinion.

adamie -- haven't you been making the rounds insulting the same type of bulletin board over and over again? I know I have seen your site before in a critique forum.

Perhaps at www.webpagesthatsuck.com on their bb?

The splash page isn't supposed to be fancy, it's mainly used to get listed well in the search engines. As mentioned earlier, this forum uses specific software that isn't exactly the most customizable. However, the purpose of this forum isn't to look great, it's to share knowledge and information in a quick, easy to use, and efficient manner, which I think it does.

I also disagree about the "my site is better than this" statement... this site is mainly a bulletin board, while you're site has a lot more room to be creative.

Just a pathetic GeoCities dweeb trying to get a few hits to his miserable excuse for a site. Ignore him/her/it and hope it goes away.

Haha- well, I think the post by AdamE is pretty funny.

First, I think the splash page for this site works fine. Although it's nice and simple, it gets the point across.

Second, I don't really like the way UBB is setup, but it works fine for what we need. Obviously you never heard about the story with ********* (which is much better than UBB).

Finally, I would have to disagree that your site is better.

Thanks Adamie5! I needed a laugh tonight!

TWF is a FORUM (hence, the "F" in the acronym). The site is NOT a site to show off design abilities. Face it, the purpose of this site is to share information QUICKLY. By adding graphics from here to tim-buck-too (howerver that is spelled) only slows down that process.

People don't visit TWF to see a great looking design. They visit TWF to get great information on how to MAKE a great looking design (or any number of other things).

If TWF was trying to sell a design service, the site would look differently. But, since it isn't, the site is designed for its need.

Several of the above posts blame the "problem" on UBB - it isn't UBB. We don't WANT to make the site a design fashion - that isn't its purpose. If it were, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Ok, I think it is pretty obvious he is just joking and trying to get us going.

Although adamie5 is pretty funny I think we should stop. TWF isn't about making fun of other people. Although I don't understand why Adam made that post in the first place. He was just bringing it to himself. Maybe he is just striking back for us saying in the Critique area that his design wasn't to hot. In any case I think we should all stop as it isn't nice to poke fun and remember that there are actual people behind these computers.
