hahah.

This was definitely designed for 800x600, because it's all centered there, great find, heh

That says it all.

The logo is hilarious.

I guess it's supposed to say 'webnet' but it just reads 'wet'

I'm having a really hard time reading the text on the 2nd page with all those bubbles or whatever it is.
The logo is quite nice when it comes to the idea, but the result didn't look good at all... And the code sucks. The award must have been a joke.

xENo · 11-05-2008, 17:36

The site hasn't really changed since 1998... so everything here is of no surprise.

lol... yeah well, support for CSS was minimal at best in 1998, so what other options did they have?

Who even knows if it's still active, or if its jsut being used for email or something... This is a cliche example of the web circa 1998 though.

I think someone's a little feisty because I called him out on using too many drop shadows.

I like to post in the Showcase section, and that generally involves giving honest critique, but unless it's as simple as "you're using too many drop shadows," the criticism I give is always constructive.

d*d · 12-05-2008, 08:49

Wow you found a shit site on the internet, not difficult is it, in all fairness james wall never asked for your criticism but there's now a chance this will turn up in his search results - what are you going to do for an encore, anally rape his mother and pour sugar in his gas tank?

Oh really? My mistake... I'll have to read back. Must have missed all that constructive criticism you gave in this thread.

Soup Of The Day · 12-05-2008, 12:34

I actually only provided the link. 'Haven't criticized it at all. Many others in this thread did, but not me.
