Jimcalagon Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I think that attacking this website because of its apperance is a bit unfair as he said its still under construction and the idea behind it is very good. It would be great to have an isle of man dedicated gaming website people could give some constructive advice instead of slating. Lets give it a chance and if it sucks in 2 months then so be it OK, constructive advice - don't launch something which looks half-baked and crap. People will look at it once and not come back. It's no good saying, "come back in two months", most people won't. Also have a look at any of the thousands of pages about good web design principles to give you some ideas about what not to do.

pandb Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Oh yes im sure your right, I mean Grown men trying to sell roleplay games, graphic novels,energy drinks and video game related equipment... so immature im sure all of the 1.2 billion pounds fantasy and rp industry and the 7.2 billion pounds gaming industry are all run by spotty 13 year olds in their basements. You will find alot of "adults" Like grapic novels, computer games, roleplay games, starwars memoribilia etc etc etc etc , just because you think its childish really dosent make it so but dont take my word for it why dont you ask some of the other people who contribute to that 8.4 billion pound combined industry im sure they will all fall at your feet and agree its childish. OR NOT............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why's it suddenly immature if they fantasise about wizards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This from someone who has never played a role-playing game or dressed as a wizard, etc. but has no problem with people enjoying harmless make-believe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimcalagon Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Isn't anybody worried by all the fantasy fans who actually believe in the fantasy stories about a supernatural being who rules the universe and has legions of winged servants? They all meet at least once a week in various locations around the island, led by someone who dresses up in strange pseudo-archaic clothing and try and appease this non-existant being by telling how great he is. Now that's worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
