What Happened to CB? Options

[marynmissouri]

I have been a member for a little while now and I have noticed in the past month or 2 that know one is here anymore? Usually when I have a question it is answered within a timely matter but now I see people just looking at posts and not answering. I wonder if it has anything to do with members who learned what they needed to know and moved onto bigger things?

@jc & cj, i agree.

additionally, no offense to current cb designers, but we have to admit that during the days of xanga and myspace, cb layouts have gotten away with being poorly coded. 1. they rarely adhered to w3c standards, 2. a LOT of the layouts were ripped off from other artists, and 3. the ones that weren't were ugly anyway (with the exception of the work of probably a handful of designers).

the web design world has matured since then, even just slightly, and these cb tricks are not gonna do it for them anymore. people used to question the lack of wordpress layouts, but it really isn't that surprising. people who design for any CMS would prefer their public layouts be associated with professional quality work. this includes tumblr as well.

Are you talking about when people first started submitting stuff? Of course the layouts were ugly, half of the people back then didn't have the knowledge or the creativity that we could easily find today. It's not like they Adobe Photoshop CS4 or Dreamweaver CS4 back then. ( They only got the old ones to work with. ;-; ) I do agree with the stealing part though.

No, they had ps 8, which still works great.
