    Anyone else sick of sites like this one ... and this one ...? Anyone seen worse???!

    Come on people, if you're going to write an Irish-oriented site, don't make it utter sh|te!

    The lads who designed those probably got paid a packet of some poor fool.

    A friend of mine up-dates a site once a month for £200..........

    There are a lot of beauties out there

    Man !!! They suck...
    Hey ! Wait a sec...is that EMI I see on the bottom of the Lim one?

    Irishsouvenirs was obviously designed by a 12 year old...Yuck !!

    they both need majour enhancement but the first one looks like it was made in 2 mins withe the aid of ms word . come on why do people still make sites like that one ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,518 ✭✭✭Hecate


    I think this explains that souveniers page:
    <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Publisher 98">


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,438 ✭✭✭TwoShedsJackson


    Not to mention it being 'regularly updated' & 'last updated 19/12/99', sure that was only near on five months ago I suppose.

    I propose a trip thusly for Limerick:

    1. Go to Limerick.

    2. Get stabbed.

    3. Fin.

    That Limerick one aint so bad, but christ! That souvenirs one is just offensive! They should find the guy that made that welcome gif and melt his teeth with a blowtorch mad.gif

    Actually, I've just gone and looked a little deeper into the Limerick one. I take back what I said before.

    Um... I'm from Limerick myself originally, but **** it - I won't comment on that "get stabbed" thing...

    As for boards.ie, - yeah- very well done, front page seems to be specifically written for higher res screens though, or is it just me?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 492 ✭✭Pretence


    FrontPage is a load of crap

    Post your 'scary' site for a look at something different Bard!

    Lucutus of Borg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    Um... dunno about that Lucutus... it's hardly what you'd call "finished"... (or scary for that matter)...

    still though, in its current half-assed, written in 20 minutes, kludged together with sticky-tape and glue form... it STILL looks better than my two examples at the top, so what the hell...

    Scary Eire (not officially "launched" yet... but still "there")


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    so.... what do yiz think? ... its early days yet!
