Icky Website

[Illuminae]

I challenge anyone who is game to make the absolute worst, ugliest, mind retching website. :-) I'm talking just plain painful folks. see two examples here
one (http://www.shout.net/~elijah/)
two (http://www.geocities.com/webtekrocks/)

this will be so much fun! a nice break from the stress of quality design that we all aim for, and just a nice reverse project.

[ahmed]

brilliant idea, me's in! :beam:

[Soul]

Haha I'm in :bad:

- Soul :s:

[Lunar_4u]

I thought them 2 sites were really nice :)

[Illuminae]

lunar :trout:

[redViper]

haha i was gonna make this a battle too.. hahah

im in.

[Illuminae]

ok great. i think we have a good group. so when do we get started? does a mod take over now? lol.

[c!rYx]

I wanted to take part....

[Illuminae]

yay! good, im glad you came in here, i was wondering about you. :)

[redViper]

yea, we have to get a mod to make it official and get all the rules and junk like that set up. :)

[Illuminae]

ok. hey guys. do we want to do this using no flash? or can we use flash? i vote for no flash, but maybe we shouldnt set that as a rule. what do you think?

[redViper]

i think you should use flash if you want.. but its not an asset. im not gonna use flash. :trout:

[Illuminae]

hrm. maybe we should leave it open then. i was going to do non-flash. but now i am thinkign about flash too... oh the possibilities. i cant wait to get started.

hey i was coming home from the cafe this morning thinking about this battle, and i just started laughing in the street. two years ago i would drink and party for fun. now i wanna make crappy websites. interesting evolution..

[pinx]

i'm game.

[ahmed]

I think we should allow flash.. i have some crazy flash idea :P

[Illuminae]

ok, then it will be free, if you want to use it you can and if you don't, well you dont. hehe :beam:

[c!rYx]

I could use Flash too, coz the most stuff I did with it until now looked really fancy anyway :) haha

[GloryBe]

this is going to be the scariest battle ever

[fester8542]

Can I get in on this?!

[Illuminae]

sure fester :)

[Jubba]

Golgi - I endow you with the power to make the battle official. :)

Set the rules up and let me know when its over so I can set up the poll.

[Illuminae]

sweeeet jubba. thanks so much! ***feeling special. :beam: let me type up some rules and also, how long do these things usually span for? i think a week sounds like a good time frame, but if that sounds unreasonable, please guide me to figuring a good schedual. thanks!!

[pinx]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

[c!rYx]

haha, that's gonna be fun :) yeah

[Cheez00]

IM IN

[Illuminae]

OK, here are the official rules and stuff of the battle.

Goal: to make the most god-awful, eyesore of a website the internet has ever been a victim to

People Battling:

ahmed
Soul
redViper
c!rYx
pinx
fester
golgi
cheez
Dj.Stigma


Rules:

~you may use, flash, (x)html, or a combo of the two
no asp or other fancy stuff (for the main pages)
~you must have at least 4 working pages in (x)html or 4 distinct 'page' areas of the flash site
~js and dhtml ARE allowed
~please follow standard codes of kirupan conduct, such as no obscenity, nudity, etc.
~sites will be disqualified that just take forever to load or are nonexistent. we all know how annoying that is, but the point of this exercise is to show terrible, puke inducing design, not to show disfunctionality.
~MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! have loads of fun!! this is the perfect opportunity to slaughter the rules of good design! and hopefully we can all learn a bit more of what NOT to do as well. :beam:

The battle starts tonight, on the night of the eclipse, and will run for one week. All entries must be completed and submitted by Friday, May 23rd, 6:00 Eastern time. Please post your site on this thread when it is complete, and then I will arrange them all into one post for easy veiwing, and then Jubba can do the poll.

good luck and have fun!!!

[pinx]

wooo hooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[c!rYx]

Aeh, i don't wanna link sites, that's lame :) haha

[Illuminae]

c!rYx - how would you suggest doing it?

[Kitiara]

Shall I post a sticky thread with all your rules etc in so you don't lose them? :)

[pinx]

yeah

[Illuminae]

yeah kit, thanks. that would be great. :beam:

[c!rYx]

I just thought we make like a 'home' site with a menu but without other pages. See I'm really lazy :) ....

[Illuminae]

hahah. ohh, i get what you meant. well. i dunno. you only need 3 other pages besides the main page. i dont think thats really bad. :) i just think its fair that we all make at least 4 total so we get a good "sitey" feel going.

[c!rYx]

:) That's fine, I was just thinking that 1 really ugly site is enough :D hrhr

[Dj.Stigma]

If i still can, i'd also like to participate.

[Illuminae]

sure, dj, ill add you to the list. welcome aboard!!!

[Dj.Stigma]

thanx,

i'll do my worst ;-)

[c!rYx]

Ah, I so have no time to do it...
Maybe I can do something on friday...

[fester8542]

Well as I understand today is the deadline so I had to throw something together.

I have to say it was harder than I though to create the worst possible website I could. I basically included all the things that drive me up a wall.....

That said....here is my icky website:

http://www.bestondesign.com/badsite/

[Soul]

Hahaha pretty icky!!! :P

Time for me to do one!

- Soul :s:

[Soul]

Ok done mine!! It makes me feel sick lol!! :P

It feels so wrong going against everything I do.

I know the transitions are so annoying but thats the whole point, that should get me points, they crack me up :thumb:

Hope you hate it :beam:

[Dj.Stigma]

would it be possible to potspone the deadline by 1 day please? i would submit my entry tomorrow if that would be possible because i had an exam today and didn't have time to do it yet.

[Illuminae]

how about this. since no one cept for fester and soul (which btw guys, your sites were positively disgusting... made me laugh ;) )
have submitted anything, i am assuming that this deadline was too short, so the deadline will be pushed back to monday, this way everyone can have an extra weekend to work. :beam:

[Illuminae]

OK. Here is the list of websites. This will be updated as more sites are added.



golgi's site (http://www.pathofaith.com/cow!/index.htm)
Soul's site (www.souleagle.com/bad)
fester's site (http://www.bestondesign.com/badsite/)

[Illuminae]

just a reminder, the deadlines tomorrow. not too many entries in yet. if 3 people would nominate the date to be pushed back further, we can do that, but if no one replies, then the thing will be closed tomorrow night. :beam:

[UNFLUX]

your sites are positively awful! and i love it...hehehe

[Soul]

:beam:

[fester8542]

Hey Soul your site is a riot man. You definaitely have my vote when the poll goes up. Its absoloutly impossible to navigate!

I love it man

[nobody]

those are amazing guys.. thanks so much for those

good inspiration is hard to come by

[Dj.Stigma]

Sorry, but i wasn't able to submit any entry due to my final exams so i guess you'll have to survive without my 'beauty' =)
good luck to every participant.

Peace

[Soul]

Haha cheers fester, the transitions make it a nightmare don't they! :P

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

Congratulations you three, you've just put me off my lunch... :)

[Soul]

I don't think anyone else is doing one so could you make the poll or something please Kit? :love:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

Sure... Is it just you three? :)

[Soul]

So far yes, Sorry if anyone else is doing one! I'm sure we can add you to the poll :thumb:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]
