Rainbow Luck
Sarai: I just want to start with this sidebar, here.
Please use Internet Explorer to view my site, and absolutely no Mozilla/Firefox allowed. Be courteous on the tagboard and blog or else I will ban you. Have a good day.
No Mozilla allowed? Whatchu gunna do, spank me?
Becky: Be careful Sarai, she sounds like a mean 12 year old. If Firefox isn’t allowed then why am I still able to view the website, hmm? Oh that’s right, you just can’t “code” worth a shit so you blame your own shortcomings on a poor li’l innocent browser.
Sarai: Don’t hold back, Becky. Oh this is nice. I can’t read shit. * opens trusty WebDeveloper extension *
Becky: Never fear I’ll rewrite the CSS for stylish… wait a minute to get the background to work on the content areas all I have to do is remove the period from <h3>. * twitches *
Sarai: Why is there one to begin with? <h3> is not a… backwards class? Last time I heard, anyway.
Becky: Maybe this is one of them new classes I’ve heard tell about from people who use IE?
Sarai: Oh take a look at this.
I own the name of Eunice, hereby given to me by my parents since birth.
Finders keepers I guess? * scratches Eunice off future baby name list *
LOL WHAT?I came to existence in the year known as ’95, in the month of February, which makes me currently twelve years young.
Becky: She owns the name? You can’t own a name, fool. Although I do own Becky and it’s totally copyright to me, no sticky paws!
Sarai: Who’d want the name Becky anyway? Everyone knows it’s a synonym for tub o’ lard.
Becky: Twelve years young? I thought X years young was a term used by old wrinkly people.
Yeah like your name’s any better, Sorry.
In April 2006, I decided my knowledge of HTML was good enough, although I have learnt much more since then.
Her knowledge of HTML was “good enough”. Whatever happened to the learning for the sake of learning?
Sarai: This is the e-webz, Becky. No one cares.
Becky: But damn it’s good enough for her to warn people away from it in her source!
DAMN YOU GET OUT OF HERE CLICK THE CROSS FIND OUT HOW TO CODE YOURSELF!!!
What cross? The exit button? The hell?
Sarai: NO SHE DIDN’T JUST TELL ME TO CODE MYSELF!
Becky: Please for the love of god don’t code yourself again Sarai, I don’t want to clean that mess up.
Sarai: I wouldn’t do that to you bb.
I could type a whole page about this, but I won’t. I often describe myself as cynical. That also makes me a little pessimistic and sarcastic. I am a little hot-tempered.
For fuck’s sake, what aren’t you?
Becky: Smart? Knowledgable? I could go on and on, but I won’t.
I get that she’s ESL, but there don’t seem to be as many errors on her blog as there are on the rest of her site. That makes me think she hasn’t paid any attention to anything but her blog for a while now. I think I’m going to have to call the Cruelty Against Websites Association and file a complaint, why does it always have to come to this?
Sarai: Again? I swear you keep those people in business.
Becky: Oh and Sarai, she isn’t cynical, she’s “cynicalistic”!
Sarai: Oh ffs.
Becky:
Rainbow Luck is copyrighted to Eunice, and will remain so. Content that is not made by me is credited where possible, and where not is stated on the page. This is a graphics/personal site, solely owned by me.
Say what, what with the what now? She credits where possible and goes a step further to tell people where she didn’t get things?
Sarai: I have no idea. Copyright will remain so. Well, that’s good I guess? And just what the hell is Rainbow Luck?
I… didn’t say anything…You may think Oh my god, who is that weird person? or What the hell? She doesn’t even have [insert name here]. Reasons for strange names is because you are dumb and don’t know them, and reasons for not having artists on my ipod is because 1. I don’t like them or 2. I am dumb and don’t know them. Okay? Matters resolved.
Becky: I don’t know, where’s that little green dude that likes his Lucky Charms? I bet he knows.
I love, love, love how she carries on conversations with herself throughout the website.
Sarai: He’s off reading about standards and accessibility.
Oh me too. It’s like one huge blog.
Becky:
Eek! Please don’t steal the graphics!! They won’t listen. Ok. Fine. I’ll disable it. Copy && Paste the code =)
LOL just LOL.
Sarai: Oh no, she disabled right click on us! * gasp horror *
Welcome to the slightly crazy and haywire site of Rainbow Luck, where everything is all jumbled up into one great big pile. Enjoy =P
Oh I get it now.
Becky: Get what? What do you get because I don’t get anything.
Sarai: This website has no structure. Think of it like one huge run-on.
I think R&B is stupid, icky and disgusting. Please do not take offence.
Becky, I think you’re icky.
Becky: Sentence? It’s your typical teenybopper site run by someone who has no clue what the fuck they’re doing.
I think you’re icky too Sarai, wanna go throw rocks at boys later?
Sarai: I’ll follow you wherever, my love?
Check out the visitor content. Table layouts ftw?
requirements # Internet Explorer please. It looks better, no lies.
OH THAT IS IT.
Becky: Oh shit! Sarai don’t do anything rash now, think of your blood pressure!
Sarai: * SLAPS WITH W3 STANDARDS BOOK * What? Hudda wudda?
Becky: You want me to hold your weave for you?
Sarai: Do you have to ask? Be right back while I go pummel this bitch.
Becky: Not really no. * holds weave *
Sarai: I SAID BE RIGHT BACK. DON’T HOLD ME BACK.
Becky: I’m not holding you back!
Sarai: K, she said something about “HURT ME NOT I AM EUNICE I LOST MY IPOD NO!” Whatever.
Oh this visitor content is just lol.
Becky: LOL Sarai, this whole site is just one big bucket of lulz. Dare I say bigger than Jenn and her website put together?
Sarai: Seriously?
Oh okay, confirmed.CSS is really important for me, because or else my whole site would be so wrecked up and changing the layout colours would take suuuuch a long time! If you want ot make a good site, first, you must understand complicated folds of this magical code called CSS. So! Onto… CSS. Any idea what it is? It makes each page be the same format. Color, fonts, anything.
Becky: Yes seriousl- complicated folds?
Sarai: Complicated folds. Becky, dare I ask: Can I snuggle up in your complicated folds?
Becky: Honey, your site is wrecked up. Badly wrecked up.
Do you even have to ask?
Sarai: I thought it’d be a nice gesture.
An obese calculator?! SAY WHAT.
Becky: OMG An obese calculator! Just what every site needs….
Sarai: I challenge all of our loyal visitors (HAI GUYS!) to participate. Obesity is a scary thing.
Becky: Scary for what? Them or my eyes. Be careful and try not to break the obese calculator guys.
Sarai: Remember how people wanted us to change our stars? What do you think? Personally I’m leaning towards the first one.
Becky: Sarai, can we use that yellow one here on IP? Can we, can we, can we!?
Sarai: God I love how we’re always on the same page.
Becky: It just doesn’t feel like home until you’ve got people stumbling around blind and moaning.
Sarai:
Rainbow Luck is a site dedicated to rainbows and all rainbow-lovers. It’s by the time people realize how beautiful rainbows are. Their blend is uncritizable.
By god it’s time we realize the beauty of rainbows, Becky!
Becky: Amen Sister Sarai, Amen. Preach the good word * jams on religious nutjob hat *
Will the hat fit over your weave?
Sarai: It will over this one.
Becky: Sweet.
Sarai:
I have never seen a real rainbow streak accross the sky in my entire life, but I always hope that one day, I will.
…
I have no words.
Becky: They streak across the sky now?
Sitefaq.php
Can I be on staff? Well… in a way. You can submit graphics, and I will credit you, but I won’t give you full-staff info, like users and passwords, because, let’s see, I don’t trust you.
Sarai: I would compliment your webiste but, let’s see… you’re a dipshit?
Becky: She doesn’t trust us Sarai, we’re probably the most trustworthy people she’ll ever meet!
Sarai: Yeah I just wish more people would trust us :(
Becky:
Your layout sucks Well, you can keep your thinking to yourself. I’m not a pro, and I’m actually kind of proud of my layout, so you can just shut up until you really have some proper reasons!!
Proper reasons? Okay I can come up with “proper reasons”.
Sarai: Here we go. Sigh.
Becky:
1. Contrast between the links, bold, italics and whathaveyou is non-existent. Are you trying to blind your visitors?
2. Your website is inaccessible, not only to people who choose not to use that piece of shit known as IE, but to everyone on who comes across it (and probably most especially IE users).
3. You can’t code worth a shit, the CSS was fixed in Firefox by removing that period in “h3.”
4. Colour theory muhfucka, use it (I know I’m overusing that, suck my nuts).
Got any more “proper” reasons Sarai? I’ve got about eleventy hundred more, but we don’t have the time to sit here and go through them all.
Sarai: Well, let’s see here:
5. Your spelling and grammar are horrendous.
6. You can’t claim the name Eunice. Hate to break it to you, sweetheart.
7. I-frames are the devil.
8. No one tells me to code myself. No one.
Becky: And there you have it folks, 8 proper reasons why your website sucks.
Sarai: Oh check out how she explains iframes:
A great question following Q6. And iframe is simply a rectangular shape on the page which displays another page, another content. You have to make the iframe page on another page (obviously), then position and size your iframe on your main page, so the other page’s content will be visible on the main page, too.
10 points for Slytherin if you can tell me just what the fuck she’s talking about.
Becky: Can I have the 10 points anyway?
Sarai: Sigh. No, Becky.
Becky: Well why not? No one can answer that question, no one. So why let the points go to waste?
Sarai: I’m going to take a look at the credits page.
Becky: Give them to me.
Sarai: MY. EYES. DEAR. GOD.
Becky: You know you want to.
Sarai: I’m about to stuff my weave down your throat.
Becky: See? This is what happens when you ignore contrast rules.
God somebody’s got her period.
Sarai: Why does she have a Members page? What are we applying to be a member of? Oh this is what we would get.
What you get
- Regular emails from me with changes and updates.
- Some sneak news on future updates and additions.
- Some exclusive priveleges (requests etc.)
- Priority in returning emails (if I have a lot of emails, you will be the first to receive a reply).
Rules- Please comment on my site often.
- Please email me sometimes. So that I know you’re not dead.
- If you have an email/website change please let me know.
- If you don’t want to be a member anymore please let me know.
My god.
Becky: Okay, well I don’t want to comment on your site and I have a feeling my emails would be top priority anyway (respond or the kitty gets it kind of stuff).
Sarai: I bet you she gets like 10 e-mails daily. I’m jealous :(
Becky: Why would she post people’s emails on her website? That’s just asking for spam. People whose emails she has linked: Blame the spam you get on this girl right here.
Sarai: Maybe we should have some Internet Police Members.
Becky: Yeah me too, I wish I got 10 emails a day then I’d feel uber popular.
Yes we should!
Sarai: What would we give them?
Becky: Want to be a member of the Internet Police?
Send $1 to The Internet Police in a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Also please provide your credit card numbers and bank pincodes. If you do then we’ll send you an email when we investigate your site.
How can you lose!?
Sarai: Also, you’d get e-mail updates!
Becky: Oh yes, yes email updates too. And we’d respond quickly to them because we know how important we really are to you guys.
Sarai: Ooo, a Wall of Shame.
This Wall of Shame consists of people who bend the laws of this site. I made this site for the benefit of you guys so that you could get a scoop on website making, and you take advantage of the weaknesses of it? Oh my gosh. Don’t tell me that you are so stupid.
Who’s stupid enough to steal her tutorials? They deserve the Shame.
Becky: We should start our own Wall of Shame for people who we found on other walls of shame for stealing crappy tutorials and coding.
Sarai: We should get a tagboard for people to tell us how much we suck, how unfair we are (more on that later), etc. and call it the Wall of Haters. Yes/No?
Becky: Yes, oh god yes. It’d be like their personal support line:
“The IP busted me for being a retard”
“There, there fellow retard they busted me for talking about my boyfriend laying chocolate pipe”
Sarai: I like this idea.
Becky: “We must get these pussy lickin’ bitchez if it’s the last thing we do!”
Sarai: What do you guys think?
Jesus, Becky!
Becky: What? If they’re plotting something they’ll post it there and we’ll find out all the sooner!
Sarai:
NO SWEARING ON TAGBOARD. Seriously. The tagboard isn’t a place for you to demonstrate your cursing skills. And the tagboard is actually for you to leave me messages, to comment on my site etc… NOT to SWEAR or say the site sucks because the person you really hate is ME, not the site.
I don’t think we’ve ever quoted someone as much as this girl. There’s just so much to share. Do we really hate her?
Becky: Not even that CandyBee unreview we did.
Sarai: Do we really hate anyone? NO, DIPSHITS.
Becky: Thank you Sarai.
Sarai: I just think people always miss that point.
Becky: We love everyone and everything, we’re like to fuzzy fucking balls of love goddamnit.
Sarai: Fuck yeah we are.
I think we’ve just about covered everything, bb.
Becky: Yeah I think so too, here’s your weave back.
Sarai: Ew, it’s all sticky.
Becky: That’s not my fault!
Sarai: You and your sticky paws goddammit!
Becky: I can’t help it, it’s a medical condtion.
Sarai: Ugh. Just hurry up with your last thoughts.
Becky: Where’s the love? I feel like you don’t appreciate me anymore.
Sarai: Not THOSE thoughts. The thoughts about this website.
Becky: My last thoughts are: Get out of Pixelfx and check out Tutorialtastic before you succumb to Teen-bopperitis.
You may be 12 but that doesn’t mean you have to be stupid.
Sarai: I just want to say: It was insensitive to make me calculate my obesity. God knows I have enough issues. Also, thanks for the migraine. Really.
Becky: Aww Sarai you want some Advil?
Sarai: * sniff * It would be nice, yes.
Becky: Okay $30 please.
Sarai: Go fuck yourself.
I got blinded by the number of time she used bold/italics/underline on the About page. Too scared of infection to venture forth.
By the way, I found it amusing that her number one search string is “Piczo”, followed close by “how to get cutenews on piczo”.
Seems like a nice girl, should put in a bit more work.
Wow, thanks for all the compliments.
Unfortunately, this page is out of date. I’ve changed my layout. And it does work in Firefox now.
The only reason it DIDN’T work in Firefox before was because I didn’t know how to make it work. Well now I know and it’s working. Any problems with that?
If you thought for a moment that the name is copyrighted to me, you’re stupider than I thought. I just found a nicer way of phrasing the fact that my name is Eunice, and if you misunderstood what I meant to convey, it’s pretty much your own fault.
Cynical was misspelled as ‘cynicalistic’ on purpose. Most mistakes were intentionally made, but where not only proves that I am a human being which makes mistakes. Anything supremely weird about that?
About the credits thing, for example, if I got my brushes from daydreamed, I’d state so, but sometimes I don’t keep a record of where I download my fonts from, so I just state that they weren’t made by me. You can find a bunch of sites which do that, it’s not a ‘crime’ unique to me.
A few pages on my site were written more than a year back, and yes, some information has not yet been updated because I spend limited time on the computer.
In your eyes, most twelve year old website makers must be completely stupid. Oh wow.
This is my personal site. It’s not for businesses or whatever. If you don’t like it leave. Thanks for taking your time to write such an… ingenious review, UNREQUESTED.
We don’t do reviews, so it wasn’t “UNREQUESTED”.
“The only reason it DIDN’T work in Firefox before was because I didn’t know how to make it work. Well now I know and it’s working. Any problems with that?”
Problems? No.
“In your eyes, most twelve year old website makers must be completely stupid. Oh wow.”
Wrong.
“Most mistakes were intentionally made, but where not only proves that I am a human being which makes mistakes. Anything supremely weird about that?”
Why do you keep asking questions?
“About the credits thing, for example, if I got my brushes from daydreamed, I’d state so, but sometimes I don’t keep a record of where I download my fonts from, so I just state that they weren’t made by me. You can find a bunch of sites which do that, it’s not a ‘crime’ unique to me.”
Never said it was?
Sarai · Aug 28, 11:25 AM · · Permalink
@Vera: I wasn’t stealing. I was providing fonts for others and indicating that I did not make them. Is that even a crime? The only reason I put the word in quotation marks was because I didn’t think it was a crime.
@Sarai: I keep asking questions back because you were making lots of incorrect judgements in your… conversation. You may not have said it, but it’s what you pretty much implemented along with a thousand other things.
Oh, and I’m so glad you don’t have any problems. You seem to have some with every other site.
I meant I don’t have any problems with how it looks in Firefox. But nice try.
I don’t know why you thought we were making incorrect judgements. We go by what you display, we don’t sit here and make stuff up. There’s just no fun in that. :)

@Eunice: you are not allowed to distribute stuff you didn’t make … unless you ask the actual owner for permission, which I doubt you did since you can’t even be bothered to list your sources. Is that how you do you school essays? Oh you know… Google.com (because “I wen to the library” is outdated)?
Yeah Eunice, it’s a crime. If you really think that people will benefit from them then put up a link to the site you got them from.
Gee, harshly criticizing people’s sites unrequested is a little mean. People have feelings in case you didn’t know it.
Why don’t you go make a site that you worked really, really hard on and we’ll point out all of its imperfections and see how you like it. I know that Eunice has worked hard on her site. If you’re going to do a review, make it constructive so the webmaster can improve their site. If you do a harsh review like that, webmasters won’t change their site, instead they’ll remember how mean you were to them, and be totally against you and everything you suggested.
Retort. I dare you.
Peggy,
Since you don’t read, I’ll make it simple for you:
THIS. IS. NOT. A. REVIEW. READ THE ABOUT.
That goes for anyone else who doesn’t feel like reading.
Thanks for visiting :)
Sarai · Aug 30, 04:46 AM · · Permalink
This site is pointless and unneccessary. All your opinions are based on negativity. Don’t you heartless bitches have anything good to say about anyone’s site? Rainbow Luck is not the trash you make it out to be. But your site is indeed trash. Your layout is plain and ugly, and you base off Wordpress entirely. How can you stoop so low to pick on a 12-year-old’s website? Have your parents not taught you manners? In most of your reviews you mention that “kids haven’t a clue what they’re doing on the web”. Well, you guys must be kids yourselves… because grown adults wouldn’t act like two children.
@Audrey: what part of “textpattern” looks like “Wordpress” to you?
Also, I bet you $100 that any decent CSS gallery (like css zen garden) would pick such a layout over Eunice’s. As for content, don’t make me laugh.
@Peggy: We DO work very hard on our sites and we DO get harsh criticism. The difference is that we don’t whine about them but do the necessary corrections. You can check out the “Wisdom” page where articles from Becky’s and Sarai’s sites are linked. And I can assure that all of use worked at least 1 YEAR (as opposed to one hour like Eunice) to have sites like we do.
So don’t assume we have no idea about webdesign.
Everyone has different tastes for layouts (shrug) I like mine over yours, you think differently.
Yeah, I make corrections to my site too. Before it didn’t work on Firefox, I experimented to see how it would work, and now it does. And I’ve worked a lot longer than an hour, I assure you.
(Reply to Becky’s comment) Are you trying to be ageist? Some sites run by twelve year olds are a lot better than mine, and some run by older people are worse than mine. Although the quality of the site does correlate to the webmaster’s age, it doesn’t directly connect.
It depends what your definition of ‘better’ is. In my opinion, my site is ‘better’ than yours, you may say differently.
Excuse me. You run entirely off Textpattern, not Wordpress. My bad. xD
You two are like vicious animals. You should just leave Eunice & all your other victims alone. I mean, seriously, what is the point of this? “Oh, we’re so brave & outspoken because we post our nasty opinions on the Web and trash talk for attention!” and basically your message. And Eunice has way more supporters than you two… not to mention, she’s NICE. I haven’t seen you two post one nice review. Tsk tsk. You also mentioned Eunice should know more than what she does… well, maybe she likes the way she has it. Just because she doesn’t do it “your way” doesn’t make it any less talented.
lol Oh dear.
1) “You two are like vicious animals” Vicious animals. I like it.
2) “You should just leave Eunice & all your other victims alone.” We haven’t done anything to them? We don’t stalk their websites, comment on their websites, or e-mail them. We visit, talk about it, and move on.
3) “seriously, what is the point of this?” What a stupid question. Read the About, if you’re so curious.
4) “Eunice has way more supporters than you two…” We don’t care about supporters.
5) “I haven’t seen you two post one nice review.” We have.
6) “Just because she doesn’t do it “your way” doesn’t make it any less talented.” “Our way” is the right way. It’s called standards. Please don’t say she’s talented. It hurts. :(
7) Fuck off. :)

You guys are really harsh. Couldn’t you cut back on the swearing a bit?
By the way. What “authoritah” are you talking about? Wtf IS “authoritah??”
Try being a bit NICER and pointing out the good in something AS WELL AS the bad.
A bit-okay, or a lot-of bad content doesn’t automatically make an entire website
horrendous. I know it’s your conversation/website, and you’re absolutely
free to say anything you like, but you’re going
to make yourself well unpopular if you keep going on like this.
Do us a favor and make the next review a bit of good and bad? Be honest. [I know
everything you say here is all honest, with a lot of opinionated stuff, but people
prefer people to include the good as well, if not entirely optimistic, and be less opinionionated.] Thanks.
Notice I’m trying to be neutral. But you guys will probably quote me and try to make everything I say sound stupid, mean, or both. Oh well. I like arguments. =)
Love · Aug 31, 11:46 AM · · Permalink
Oooh, whoopsy! ^_~
Fine, not reviews … ‘Articles’ … ‘Conversations’ … Whatever you call them, they certainly do stir up a fuss —- But I guess that’s the point, now, isn’t it? Alright then, you’re addicted to drama … Okay, I can understand that.
I just wish I understood your motives for hurting people’s feelings so badly. Girlies, I know people have hurt you your whole lives, for being fat, ugly, geeky/smart, and so on, but that’s really no reason to lash out at others.
For shame, for shame … I can’t wait to see what life throws at you next for your cruelty and coldheartedness.
Yeah, you really try to make everyone who opposes you, or at least criticises you sound stupid.
Just remember; popularity DOES NOT equal big number of hits. That’s either fame or notoriousness [yes, unbelievably, that’s a word, although it sounds really dumb]
By the way, yes, those are arguments. There’s nothing wrong with it.
Love · Sep 1, 08:08 AM · · Permalink
I don’t have much more to say, except that you two need to get lives and stop living on the Internet trying to destroy site’s reputation.
But other than that, I found this quote (from Sarai) rather funny:
“Mallory, you don’t know me… I’ve never been made fun of. But nice try.”
You’ve never been made fun of? Lmao. I highly doubt it. Not to mention, that’s a bit concited. Telling the truth works better. ;]
I’ve never been hurt for being any of those things, in fact I was never bullied and I was never beaten as a child. I never went to school so I have no real clue what peer pressure is, although I know it’s something that’s easy to avoid. I’ve had friends, but whilst we weren’t always positive to each other at least we can be open and honest. So before you go any further with your “abused inner child seeking revenge” theory just stop, shut up and think of something else because it doesn’t apply to me. Maybe it does to Sarai, I doubt it though because she was probably dumping kids in garbage cans in first grade.
Honestly, I don’t believe a word of what you say. But for the sake of continuous conversation, I’ll pretend I believe you … Thus, another theory: In my non-professional opinion, you may have a slight case of Borderline Personality Disorder. ((And Sarai? Narcissistic Personality Disorder. For totals.))
Maybe it’s you who should stop worrying so much about other people and start worrying about yourself?
Preaching selfishness? Hmm, interesting …
But sorry, I’m a very caring person —- And I see no reason to treat other human beings like pieces of shit. I really find it much more ‘fun’ to help people … As opposed to randomly lashing out at them.
Welcome back, Mallory!
Narcissistic? Because I’ve never been made fun of? That’s an interesting diagnosis. Maybe it’s because, oh I don’t know, I’m not a dumbfuck?
It’s really simple, really.
And PS: Becky is homeschooled.
You don’t have to “believe” anything. Like I said, doubt all you want. Hate all you want (I love it, btw). I don’t care about you enough to give a fuck.
Just curious. Where do you normally get to meet other people if you’re homeschooled?
Love · Sep 1, 07:38 PM · · Permalink
I agree with Love. Where do you work up a social life if homeschooled? My cousins are dumber than stumps and have no social life, mostly due to their homeschooling status. But I guess not everyone who’s homeschooled is a dumb anti-socialist. I, myself, am against homeschooling. I think it ruins the whole social life properties.
Anyway, back to these “conversation articles” as you call them. I guess voicing your opinion isn’t a crime (and most of us here realize that) but I think the real problem is the negativity. So maybe you should focus on the good and the bad. Criticism is one thing, but these “articles” seem to contain a lot of blows to the site at hand. You two almost seem to make fun of the sites being discussed, cracking jokes about anything you can possibly find wrong with the site.
Maybe instead you could do polite criticism, mixed with both bad and good. And I’d recommend asking the person if they’d like your help before posting an article about their site. But I’m sure you get much more enjoyment (rolls eyes) out of posting nasty convos for the world to see.
My biggest question is… out of all the sites you’ve “discussed” how many of them know that their site is posted here for debate? Do you notify them? Just curious.
So maybe you should focus on the good and the bad. Criticism is one thing, but these “articles” seem to contain a lot of blows to the site at hand. You two almost seem to make fun of the sites being discussed, cracking jokes about anything you can possibly find wrong with the site.
Wouldn’t that be a review, then?
And I’d recommend asking the person if they’d like your help before posting an article about their site.
Why? They wouldn’t listen, trust me. A webmaster’s attitude is the first thing we notice, and most of these “webmater’s” attitudes just plain suck.
My biggest question is… out of all the sites you’ve “discussed” how many of them know that their site is posted here for debate? Do you notify them? Just curious.
No, we don’t notify anyone.
That’s an interesting diagnosis. Maybe it’s because, oh I don’t know, I’m not a dumbfuck?
Sarai, you’re too easy to figure out! Try to be a bit more mysterious, or some such.
And I repeat: NPD. End of. o_o
@Beckster: Oh, believe me, I can tell a great deal about people ‘over the Internet’. I spend enough time on it, so I really should be able to by now. ;P
Honestly though, I’m sure if BPD fits you or not … I may have to look into it some more. When I get … Not lazy.
@Sarai: Well, this “discussion” is basically a review in conversation-form (from my point of view) so light criticism wouldn’t make it anything less. And if you don’t notify people I assume other “discussion” sites don’t either… so then they could have their site slandered all over the Web without knowing it? That’s nice.
Why would you tell them? Well, you seem to like arguments and hate mail… even says so in the About and you’ve said it during this topic. So if you notified the people being discussed, you’d start more arguments with their fans and more controversy with site owners. Plus they’d be able to defend themselves & have knowledge of your doings…. it’s a win-win situation.
@Audrey: most webmasters use some sort of statistics scripts (i.e. extreme tracking, statcounter, mint…), so if even one person were to access their site from here, it would show up on their referrals. Therefore it really isn’t a secret, seeing as it can be easily found.

Granted, the site is rather bad (though I like her header image puts up protective frying pan), but come on! Actually I don’t really know why you even singled her out? On the whole, she seems much better than your usual “convicts”. OK so she dislikes Firefox (and subsequently doesn’t code for it), but.. dunno aside her attitude I don’t find anything terribly wrong with her.
As for the latter: she’s 12. Jordie at 12 was actually a special case; you do know that? ;-)
