Draconio Posted October 14, 2003 I wasn't able to look at everything on the site, since the Geocities bandwidth limit got hit, but from what I saw I'd rank it: 4 - Newbie Suggestions: - The different background on every page is kind of disconcerting. It would be better to pick one best one and use that for every page in the site. - How about giving descriptions or screenshots of the WADs instead of just listing them? - Remove the background music, it's unnecessary and may annoy some. I think your site has potential. With improvement it may become quite a good site. 0 Share this post Link to post
ShadowRunner Posted October 14, 2003 The Bandwith just got hit????? Okay First Thing The Doom1 wads dont have screenshots yet cuz ive been focusing more on Doom 2 wads,Second The First Five wads for Doom2 were early in 95 so no screenies the ones after it has Many screenies hosted by my second site geocities.com/shadowrunner892 dont bother going to that one though other wise that bandwith will get hit too.All im saying is when YOU GET TO SEE EVERYTHING then you can give me a reply.But 4 man dang! 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted October 14, 2003 Let's see... Starting from a 10: -3 for embedded midis on each page -3 for freezing Internet Explorer every time I go there (probably all the midis) +1 for running on Netscape with no problems +1 for the few halfway decent looking maps and TCs I saw before the bandwidth was exceeded -5 for using GeoCities +1 for a nice background on the front page +1 for not using frames Total: 3 0 Share this post Link to post

Dunbar Posted October 14, 2003 The whole choosing the midi you want idea would be the better way to go. It's pretty annoying to be rockin' out to my MP3 collection, only to have my mellow TOTALLY harshed by a midi file playing in the background of a site. Sorta like Post Hell's music, but I think that's intentional. 0 Share this post Link to post
ShadowRunner Posted October 14, 2003 Aight Its Back Up Im Construction it right now.If You Dont Want The Midi to play just press stop on your internet browsers UNTIL i can get rid of them because i just got home. geocities.com/shadowrunner89 And Please Guys Dont Try to Hit The Bandwhit 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted October 14, 2003 Unfortunately that's not possible - whenever you announce something like this, the site is bound to go down at some point. Next time I put up some SSD screenies and announce it, my site will go down briefly. It's just a crappy bandwidth limit. 0 Share this post Link to post
ShadowRunner Posted October 14, 2003 Allright Guys Removed Midis For Background And Added 1 link per page,Well except a few with a Listen To Music Link in white And for the Tcs Like goldeneye all the goldeneye64 midis i have and For Aliens Versus Predator Versus Terminator The Terminator 2 theme song 0 Share this post Link to post
Fletcher` Posted October 14, 2003 There are better webhosts out there though. 50megs.com 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted October 14, 2003 Ravage meant http://www.50megs.com Anyway, another possibility is http://www.freeservers.com. Like Geocities, they also offer webpage templates, but they don't have stupid bandwidth limits (though they do have annoying maximum filesize limits). 0 Share this post Link to post

Ultraviolet Posted October 14, 2003 You know, even on Geocities, you can prevent your bandwidth limit from being hit by REMOVING THE MIDIS AND EXTRA GRAPHICS. That's probably half -- if not like, 3/4 -- of your bandwidth limit hit right there. If you do the HTML yourself you can simplify it a lot, too. 0 Share this post Link to post
ShadowRunner Posted October 14, 2003 Too Bad i dont know Html Coding,Gotta Wait till next year(10th Grade) till they teach you how to code in html. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ultraviolet Posted October 15, 2003 Referring to HTML as "coding" is for tards. It's more like scripting and text alignment and formatting. 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkstalker Posted October 15, 2003 If you can read French, I recommend http://monsite.voila.fr/ftpweb/boot/accueil.shtml //100Mo 10-15Mo in bandwidth/day or http://www.home.lycos.fr/creer/ //50Mo, no bandwidth IIRC, takes PHP BTW I give you a 4. 0 Share this post Link to post

Dark Fox Posted October 15, 2003 Browse around for some better hosting.. I managed to snag a free deal from 1&1.com hosting, I have 3 year free hosting (500mg space and 5gig per month transfer limit, .99 cents per gig over) and I snagged a domain name for 5.99 a year through them. Its a business grade package.. highly recommend it. I am the proud owner of http://www.thesofafox.com Here they are: http://order.1and1.com/ 0 Share this post Link to post

I'm 14, and I learned when I was 13. Don't be intimadated; I just bought myself a Dummies book and in about 2 hours I was making webpages. Now, less than a year later, I'm already programming in C++ and Visual Basic, also. EDIT: And I wanted to stay as far away from HTML when this happened. At least you have some drive to learn it :-) 0 Share this post Link to post

Hirogen2 Posted October 15, 2003 I won't give a number for this, just plain readable sentences. A base is established, but -- ok, as you pointed out -- it could still use some design- touchup. And Change Everything First Letter Caps Up into normal uncapsed letters except names and starting-sentences. Be sparse with way-different colors. You should drop the worst links :P (and I make no attempts to say which.) According to what I have read first in this thread (before visiting the page) I would have suggested using a plain black-on-white page, but since my audio device /dev/dsp is currently used and ... blah, I can't hear MIDIs from the webbrowser anyway. Missing plugin I think ;) Work on it, it might become something. 0 Share this post Link to post
