Oh my god have you seen this!
- Thread starter one of the chicks
- Start date
so dude, how many of the 900+ posts you made have been requested by others then - I've read some of them and they seem to be pretty much all your own initiatives ;-)
bud u r more than welcome, the field we play at most is just off the i-5. bout 12 miles east of oakland, ca. if you plan on being in the vicinity just come join the walk on...
so you get lambasted on a thread about views on wiping (#1 contentious issue in ball) and now you admit to/threaten with the almost equally contentious (and way more dangerous) problem of BB'ing. hmmm - and I'm sposed to be the one in the wrong here? wassup - no freedom of speech or constructive criticism, just cos my face ain't known locally? get over it
Name me one thing fella that was constructive in your original post?? Think the reason you have been flamed is because your post was anything but constructive??!!Originally posted by morningglory

Constructive would have been something along the lines of 'its informative and easy to navigate, but the presentation could be tidyed up'... which I'm sorry to say is far from the above mate

So obvioulsey you have every interest in a UK tournament?!? Never really was going to be very useful to you in the first place was it!
France is too good for this one!

Tw@ of the week award goes to...................
You guessed it
Oh and no-one threatened to bonus-ball you, read things in context mate, it was an off-hand witty response not a threat. Like if I said : "talking like that, you are coming back as a cockroach/Frenchman" I'm not actually going to use god like powers to upset the karmic balance and reincarnate you as a filth eating worthless invertebrate( or a cockroach).
I'm just implying someone else might.
You listening up there.

A bit after the fact but congrats on getting the website up.
With geographically disparate teams (and far flung team members) getting details up on a website is the best way of spreading the news.
To that end here's a few suggestions:
Not everyone worships at the altar of the great god William Gates, Esq. Not every browser supports Flash (scary but true!) Enough people are on alternatives that they need to be considered when building a site
Go easy on Flash on the home page as it can bulk up the download time - those not lucky enough to have rich(er) girlfiends to get broadband for them (you know who you are!) and have to rely on the equivalent of a piece of soggy string are going to be struggling. Or they are going to spend time waiting only to be faced with a message requiring them to download Flash/get a better computer/stop using Mozilla d*mmit
The same goes for animated gifs and background images - the M25 logo is distinctive - it doesn't need to be repeated as a background and will slow things down
I'm not suggesting heading into bland corporate mediocrity here in terms of layout and style but some consistency of font and font size makes life easier for the harrassed 'baller out there trying to get to the pertinent details in a hurry. Italics are generally hard to read on screen and people will skip them - not good if you're trying to highlight nice things people have said about you
Perhaps in time for next season there can be one site for the M25 league (if there is one already please send URL and I will happily place my foot in my mouth - it's one of the advanced yoga positions. Honest)
Navigation covering:
1. what the league is/does (for those who have been in Ulan Bator where paintball has yet to take off)
2. Some details for each leg, confirmed dates/locations posted a few weeks before hand so impoverished ones can sort out their cheaper transport.
3. Clear getting there instructions for each site as well as a link to steetmap/multimap etc
4. Have a separate sponsorship page that allows each sponsor logo to be displayed clearly and allows for distinctions - ie a sponsor may only sponsor one particular site, rather than the event - and links to the sponsors website. Always appreciated by the sponsor, especially if they get business because of it
5. Tasteful images that add to total not distract.
The last bit was a bit Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen but needed to be said...
A fun site thats easy to navigate makes happy users all round - it doesn't need to be Jakob Nielsen dull to be user friendly and accessible.
