girls and their "layout sites", this could get ugly Options

[The-Mach-Hare]

anybody else get a little mad when they run across a xanga thats all like

"vote for me and ill make 43287543629083768032547 layouts for you"

or

"dont jock my SH!+...I SPEND FOREVER AND A DAY MAKING THIS STUFF FOR U PEOPLE!!!!"

kinda overrated, and theyre taking over all the top sites.

if you want a layout, get one thats createblog.com worthy, not something that was thrown together with color hex codes and a banner slapped at the top.

to me, they all look tacky and i dont understand how people like them...

let me know what yall think

thought id add this after i had clicked the link to someones site...

[*Weird addiction*]

kris is back!!

Anyways, haha, yeah it's true. Just hex codes with banners, they suck like crap.

Oh well, it's their shit.

[The-Mach-Hare]

^^^i get where youre coming from on the whole stealing your pictures, but you never put ur name directly on the picture...they all put it as a link and thats about 4000000 times easier to remove than your name on the picture

[The-Mach-Hare]

so if they dont have the program to do it...how do they make the images?

jock em and then tell people not to jock em from them...

hmmm....confused

[Nicolatofu]

hahaha I used to like those kinda of layouts

Now I look at those sites every once in a while.. and I sorta feel bad for them. I mean.. they spend so much time making a defaulty layout....

[heyyfrankie]

Now I look at those sites every once in a while.. and I sorta feel bad for them. I mean.. they spend so much time making a defaulty layout....

i know! all that it is is borders, bright colors, unreadable text and a crappy ass banner! @__@;

[The-Mach-Hare]

thats right, frankie

i hate em

[ItzOnlySydney]

yea but i mean no one likes it when they work hard on something and someone says "oh i did this!" aand they really didn't. it's not fun to not get credit for your work, ya know?

but i like cB's layouts and stuff because they have such a great mix from anime to nature to love to celebrities we have it all! lol

[*Kathleen*]

Ew ew ew I know. How can you call that a layout when all you did was mess with the style sheet? Blah. They're usually very irksome. The brightness makes my eyes bleed.

[racoons > you]

and yes jamesy lol i got the forum fever again

sigh.. that wasnt me. it was sandra.

sandra, please take that banner down, im not applying anymore, and its confusing people. and me. lol

<33 though.

the gesture is wondermous though, *feels special*

personally, i think people have a right to warn people not to jock their stuff. they work hard on it, and its upsetting when they steal

[Saeglopur]

Yeah okay .. give those newb designers time to grow. I bet we've all gone through that stage once ... when we thought it was cool.




And I'm not here to support them or anything .. I'm just here.

[Tung]

lol the banner part was funny. and so true.

[Spirited Away]

well maybe putting their names on it have never occurred to them. who knows?

or maybe. people who jock them erased their names?

In addition to what you said, I HATE putting my name on my images because it takes away from the image itself. Imagine that you painted a building green and then you'd have to sign your name in bold RED letters so people know that you were the one who did it. It would definitely make the building look awkward. But I feel that I have to do it in order to prevent stealing...

[inthemudhole]

Ugh. I hate those sites.
They're all like xtragicwhore and x__bangbang and crap like that.
They make emo and scene layouts for the most part, but basically all they do is add some lame swirly in the bottom right corner, and then type something in the header. Most likely part of a song.

It's so pathetic. That doesn't take that long to do.
Hell, I could make my own layout site and do that right now if I wanted to, but I don't want to. They make themselves seem like they're big-time skin makers, but they're... not.

Gah. It IS annoying when people jock things, but they make it seem like it took them hours and hours to make a layout of theirs, when in fact it probably only took about five minutes to make the image and another five to edit the code.

[mickybeans]

i know what you mean; it bothers the heck outta me. i mean, i understand their frustration and everything because i dont own a layout site nor do i MAKE layouts but i run a forum for a korean boyband and i get really rare photos from my friends and/or i make my own effort to do stuff for the forum and then someone gets credits off of MY own work- so it can get really upsetting. but anyways, back to what you were saying- just a bunch of hex colors and a banner isnt all that hard to do. they make it seem as if they risked hours and broke a back doing all of that. -__-

[jennyjenny]

Oh God, I was ranting about that to a friend.

I hate hate hate how these girls have those layouts that are so simple and it's just like changing the borders to like, 6px and making it like, hot pink. and then there's a cheesy banner done on paint that says something like "my hopes are so high your kiss might kill me" and don't even know what song it's from. and then they make topsites because they prrobably click on it a billion times. and then they're so ugly and everyone comments them going like "LyK omG yur layoutz r sooooo pretty!!!111" Uh, ew? Personally, createblog has better skins, minus the ones that look like shit that is.

[ichigofan]

lol i agree but sometimes just pasting hex codes is hard and i admire ppl who are weird enough to do it

[KELLYYY]

Psh, I know what you mean. All of the banners I've seen on this one layout site included swirlies, grids, and the Cheri Liney font. Pshhh. I used to love those layouts, until I discovered cB. x3

[MrElsewhere]

many kids on xanga are going through taht defaultish xanga stage, where they like defaultish xangas. I know I did.

But jocking is not cool.

[glit_gal]

yeah i don't get that. This girl was voted as the number 1 xanga site on top sites and the only reason is because she leaves comments on everyones xanga just so they will comment back.

[xquizit]

:cries: *runs away*

[*mzkandi*]

:cries: *runs away*

now just look at what you did.....

[soulless727]

[loljuliana]

i think people only like it because they all go for the "gangster" look. the layouts that people give out at layout sites have swirls&stars and all those tacky things. it makes it look "cool" and "gangster" i guess.

[llpurpleskyll]

ON MORE THING.
people on xanga who go around propping random people
"lyke omgsh random propzz!` propz me back!"
"kewl layout. propz me back!"

OMG I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN...those ppl are so freacken annoying...x_X....

[The-Mach-Hare]

roxy...we werent talkin about you.

your layouts are, like i said, "createblog.com worthy"

[xquizit]

^ i know i know. i'm just playing.

[charanjust4yu]

i dont care because well i just dont

[daintyme]

i totally agree. the only reason i come to cB is because of top-quality layouts. no offense to blogring, but all the layouts were made by middle school kids with the rendered clouds and the UpPeR aNd LoWeR letters and the mispelled words.

[toodlepops.]

Eyah, I realised that too. I mean, they're only some hex codes and some unworthy banner. They don't deserve to be on the xanga top list thing.

[my_sunshine]

OH MY GOD! it`s about time that someone has felt the same way i did. i might be hypocritical if i say this (i don`t know if i am 0_o) but i agree, those types of xangas are annoying.

that was a good topic to post up :D

[gigiopolis]

Haha, I know exactly what you mean. It annoys me quite a lot, now that I think about it.

[demolished]

anybody else get a little mad when they run across a xanga thats all like

"vote for me and ill make 43287543629083768032547 layouts for you"

or

"dont jock my SH!+...I SPEND FOREVER AND A DAY MAKING THIS STUFF FOR U PEOPLE!!!!"

kinda overrated, and theyre taking over all the top sites.

to me, they all look tacky and i dont understand how people like them...

let me know what yall think

thats true, cB's layout is much better than almost all of them. i agree w/ you. people spend alot of time on a cheap layout w/ "nice" banner.

[gelionie]

Oh well, there are people out there who like these kind of defaultish layouts anyway... so I don't really care about them.

I think those people should actually try learn to make an actual 'layout', not just customizing stuff and adding scripts, then say it's a layout...

[oOjenniOo]

omg me too. i hate those xanga sites that like make ugly ugly banners and seriously. anyone could really make those

[*Weird addiction*]

and yes jamesy lol i got the forum fever again

You thought i was james, LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[misoshiru]

ewwww..i hate those sites. they're usually really ugly layouts too. i mean, who would even want to steal a layout like that.

[The-Mach-Hare]

i see that a lot of people have agreed since the last time i looked at this.

these "HAWT layout sites" still get on my nerves

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

lol i have friends like that and im just like chill. sheesh. i used to be anal about that stuff too but now im like yeah..whatever..

[Teesa]

I agree with everyone..it is quite annoying. First, I thought it was kind of cute that people were trying to make their own layouts, but now it's just crazy . Everyone seems to be having their own layout site..and the layouts suck.

[JlIaTMK]

Ahaha, wonderful....
actually, I find that guys do that once in a while, but, yes, if we are going to stereotype, I find that on females' sites more.

Anywhoo, in the last month, I must've passed by more than 4 of those sites.

[*mzkandi*]

There are some legit sites...actually only two to my knowing, Roxy's (xquizit) and Tia (souldreamers).

[[Scr3amin][Horro...]

I use to have a layout site, but I never kind about props.
My layout werent girly neither 'I Will Come & Kill You At Night' unless you count that as girly. There were dark and evil-ish layouts. I didnt care about props lol. I closed the layout site thought. It was 2 much girls requesting so many layout and banners. To much for me lol.

[ApocalypseAelis]

Gahh! Yes! Yes those sites piss me off to no end.



I just HATE those crappy layouts girls put on their xangas; full of cheap swirl brushes with a random song lyric or something lame overrated love quote thrown in. They always think they're such GREAT layout makers. All they needed to do to make those cheap "layouts" was fiddle around with the style sheet hex codes and add some banner with about two kinds of brushes stamped on with text. And poof! Now they're some expert layout-maker.


My friend's friend used to do that, and it made me want to hit something really hard. ._.

[*lolita kitty*]

i can understand "[insert link here] please vote for me ^_^"
but a crapload of those popping up when you enter is just wow. get over it 0___0

as for the jocking, people shouldnt be jocking. but its just., yeah. and some of the layouts arent that good -_-

but for those that make really good layouts, kudos to you hehe.

[whomps]

People like them because they haven't seen Createblog.com yet.

[aznxdreamer]

GAH i hate it even more when they get lyk 4938704349 comments saying "OMG LYK UR LAYOUTS R LYK SO HAWT AND SEXI!!" and all they do is give it a border and a background image. that pisses me off more than just people stealing it because if you steal a layout like that and claim that they made it, they're stupid. personally, i think cB layouts are alot better to steal.

[mocassinsx29]

There was this one site and every layout was the same exact thing with different blinding neon ugly colors and she had like 3000 comments ["3000 cOmMeNtz OR nO mOrE lAyOuTs GuYz!!!1!"] f**king burned out my corneas.

No offense to her. Psh.

[enyceXaddiction]

concieted. ehhh i prefer layout sites layouts then cb layouts. but sometimes layout sites can get annoying

[*x____duckii*]

Ugh, those layout sites make me sick. They make it seem as if it took them 5 hours to complete their so-called layouts. They don't even need to put don't jock on their sites. I mean, who would jock the damn layout?

Eww... They have disgusting layouts. Don't say I didn't warn ya.

[Eryi]

Don't you think it's dumb to get mad over something so stupid?

[innovation]

those who don't have goals have to make random ones up. give them a break.

[beambitious]

It's pretty pathetic. They say like that they're professionals while all they do is add some "emo" lyrics at the top and make all the colors neon.

[yellowgurl]

some of them do work hard thats why they're in the top sites but i guess thats true all their layouts arent as nice as cBs but it still takes time and think about it wouldnt it be worse if soemone copied all the codes and got in the top sites i think that would explain them being all yelling about no jocking.

[PinkTrash]

I use to have a layout site, but I never kind about props.
My layout werent girly neither 'I Will Come & Kill You At Night' unless you count that as girly. There were dark and evil-ish layouts. I didnt care about props lol. I closed the layout site thought. It was 2 much girls requesting so many layout and banners. To much for me lol.

I know. That's annoying, I see like a dozen layouts like that, with words at the top, polkadot backgrounds, neon colours, and the annoying link to the "productions" that made it. I see it all the time. And yes, the random people who leave comments just so they can have a comment back are even worse. Desperate people..

[Frizzank]

Im not too fond of any layouts.

Im just happy with simple.

Thats all I really want is something simple.

And the layout sites are starting to piss me off.

[xMiZziexKiMx]

the neon colored layouts are bleh..... and lots of ppl find that pretty....... hmm or they jsut want the comments back..... like someone said...... too desperate

[little_monkey199...]

lol... yes i must agree most of those layout sites out there have reallie sucky layouts...thats why i dont use 'em. but there are very few that reallie deserve good credit though.

[xMiZziexKiMx]

there are very few that reallie deserve good credit though.

yeah not all of them are bad.... but there arent that many of the good ones

[The-Mach-Hare]

some of them do work hard thats why they're in the top sites but i guess thats true all their layouts arent as nice as cBs but it still takes time and think about it wouldnt it be worse if soemone copied all the codes and got in the top sites i think that would explain them being all yelling about no jocking.

i see where youre coming from, but they are the ones jocking. take www.xanga.com/killer_hawt_lay0uts for example. she stole the xanga ad remover from a guy named steve and placed her name inside of it and stole the bolded text: different color script from cB and put her name in that as well, but gets all hyped up about people jocking her "sh!t" which is mainly what it is. ive even said something to some of the mods on cB, but nothing has since happened. yeah, some have reason to say not to jock, but they put it out there. someone is bound to jock it. get over it or stop making it so easy for people to jock them. they all use the same style sheet anyways which they had to get from somewhere. the way those sites look, i know for sure they cant type their own codes or theyd look hella better.

edit://

another point i forgot to add was they treat people like shit. their pop ups are all like you stupid cunts, do this bitch, do that a-hole. how can they get that much service if they say stuff like that? people these days must be stupid. heres an example from the site that is linked above.



i bet they dont even know what hiatus means. they probably just did that because everyone else in xanga land is.

[Kenado]

I have a layout site it's not all that great theyre just banner from adobe photoshop that I make I'm not really strcit about the jocking thing and I really don't need like so many comments just to keep maiking them I make them for fun

[Unpredictable]

And whats with all theese layouts with like a female outline?? ive seen some with girls bent over or with legs spread..they call that "hot" ?? geez i cant stand looking at it..

[[Scr3amin][Horro...]

^Haha they are so demanding. I love reading those pop-up lol they are so stopid

[lilnatcat]

Yea, and top of all that layout stuff there's those pop-up boxes which annoy the hell out of me like "mwah, dun 4get ta gimme propz" and especially those annoying ones which pop up like freakin a million times when u go into ti!

[PiGo]

It doesn't bother me that they have those ugly layouts cause we all have to start somewhere, but it does bother me when they make their own layout sites and act like there all proffesional and stuff. They have like all these rules about "No Requests" and stuff and I'm just thinking, 'Would anyone even request those layouts?'

[soulless727]

purple ponies (self deleted 1/1/07)

[[Scr3amin][Horro...]

yeah i hate it how people make those crappy layouts and want you to actualy keep the credits on it...i mean seriously...they probably jacked their first codes from someone else and just keep reusing it with different hex codes and banners...

Isnt that what they alway do?

[xMiZziexKiMx]

^Haha they are so demanding. I love reading those pop-up lol they are so stopid

lol

yeah i hate it how people make those crappy layouts and want you to actualy keep the credits on it...i mean seriously...they probably jacked their first codes from someone else and just keep reusing it with different hex codes and banners...

chyeah seriously...... its not like they invented those codes or w/e

They have like all these rules about "No Requests" and stuff and I'm just thinking, 'Would anyone even request those layouts?'

lol good 1

[*stephinika*]

^^
i hate those layouts...i see them and its just stupid because its true, they don't take a lot of work and they don't even look that great but yet...people seem to like them.
i don't get it, but meh.

[[ex]potential]

it really pisses me off. im new to the whole xanga scene, but i could do way better.
