No, your opinion does matter! Don't ever say that on this website!

Explain what you mean... your statements are shallow (there isn't reason or proof behind each statement)... spiff em' up and I'll reply


Stupid kids spread neo-drama-

Visit the boards on the site for like a day, it will lower your IQ by 45 points. They fight with each other, make racial comments, try to scam other players, steal, lie, cheat. Etc. And you can bet that there will be a LOT of players who will come here, get a layout, and put it on one of their petpages, saying they made it. Do you want that? I don't.

Limiting your graphic skills. They block a lot of image sites, and they don't allow certain images, it's unacceptable.


Strict rules.

They are always changing what you can or cannot do with userlookups, things are always being blocked, it can be very hard to keep up with.

Really, the last two I'm not too worried about, but there will be a lot more layout thefts if this goes through.

The garbage that may join this site would be quickly filtered out by our sites attitude towards new people who jump on the site and act that way. Believe me, people like that do not last long here.

Well, things on this site are free for members to what they want with them. People already do that with the myspace layouts. The best thing you can do is add your insignia to the layouts you create.

Well, considering everything here is free for the taking... I don't think that anyone should be worried about layout theft. The issue about things consistently changing will just have to be dealt in the forum. That's just one thing that separates a neopets.com layout from the rest, and people don't have to use copyrighted neopets images to make layouts for the site. I really don't understand the whole issue surrounding copyright laws.

I would just suggest that cB just not accept copyrighted images in layouts until I get that email back from the web site saying that we can. It doesn't mean that people can't create layouts using those images in the "Showcase" thread.

I'm still not for it. If someone can show me an impressive layout that opinion might change but I have yet to see one.

I agree about the stupid drama, that's not what we need here.

^Yea we already have enough.

I've never really been for this idea, I'll be supportive of it but I just have never liked the neopet community.

I for one would love it if there were NP layouts. I've been a Neopet addict for a couple of years now and it's hard to find quality layouts.

I joined neopets back in elementary school!
Recently I decided I was bored though...

Anyhow, here's a couple user lookups that are better designed.

YEAAHH HP.
I'm not fond of the designing for neopets idea. Neopets has always been more of an elementary school sort of thing to me, regardless of what statistics show. Ohwellll

^I'm aware. I was just saying that it seemed quite elementary to me.

I'm not sure how that was misconstrued, if at all?

Yeah, Maybe if we had a profile viewer. I guess I just suggested it because there are very few neopet layout sites and I think it would bring in a lot of traffic.

if cb4 will support neopet, its gonna have a live preview.

the fact that theres very few neopet layout sites out there could also mean that the demand just isnt there. considering neopet is older than myspace and xanga, this is probably most likely the case.

Actually, as a member of Neopets and cB, I'd rather you not start making layouts. Neopets gives award for layouts (Site Spotlights, Gallery Spotlights, and User Lookup spotlights) and it's just going to promote stealing. There are already Neopets layout sites that offer pre-made layouts and coding templates. cB doesn't need to get involved.

^You are completely right, I never even thought about that. Thank you so much for posting _smile.gif

She has a great point, that would be like someone on createblog taking the layouts now for myspace for instance and then posting them in contests for money and saying the layouts were their own. I think she has a great point and that people on neopets should have to make their own layouts if they (neopets) has awards for them.

I think this is a good idea too. We'd have to get Jusun on board to do the preview template coding. And we'd need people that knew how to code the layouts.

Coding Neopets layouts is actually pretty simple. Up until about two years ago, I was pretty active on the site, and had been playing for four years. I've had my own Neopets layout site before too. XD.gif

I think having a Neopets section is a great idea. It might be hard at first coming up with actual content though... since I dont think very many members have experience with the whole Neopets coding thing. But I'd be more than happy to go back and refresh myself, and help get the category started. _smile.gif

Ahhhh, 1,000 post! dance.gif

I agree with her it would take away the fun from the awards they offer for making them.Besides the layouts are extreamly easy to make,Even me the noob to the whole layout and graphic design concept can figure out how to make those layouts.

Well,Then if they are lame enough to still "rock" Neopets then let them figure out how to make the bloody layout.

Im wondering If in fact we did do this,We would also risk the fact that there are underage users on this site.Or does this really not matter since there are some really mature members on cb that are under 13 the required age to join this site??

^ Yeah, the whole under 13 thing would be totally and completely ruined. With all of this said... I think we're more apt to not do neopets.

Because tons of "kids" I guess you could say would be flooding in, possibly joining... bringing in alot of immaturity. Have you ever been on Neopets and seen their message boards? It's INSANE. I'm just afraid people would join and think they could do the same thing here.

But whatever. stubborn.gif
I havent played in years, so having a layout category specifically for the site would in no way benefit me.
