Createblog :] Options

Last time we had all these great ideas about recreating createblog.
But I guess it's true, without Jusun, their is nothing we can do.
I absolutely think if he'd picked a team of designers and coders,(A while ago)
this place could of been better then smashing magazine. But I guess it's too late huh?

Well, What happen to that site Fixtatik was doing?
It's just I love CB, but it's dead! So making a new SITE, with a TEAM
this time, we could do something amazing.

I'm not complaining, But I'm saying lets do something already.
since Jusun doesn't want too.

A new name, a new forum, new stuff......

Isn't this a site for resources, help, and learning? Don't you think it shouldn't be all for "fun" and more resourceful, I love Jc's revival plan.

If It be up to me, (which would be a bad idea lol) mods would
watch for new topics, and if it's something not interested or nothing understandable, or discussable, the mods could pull the topic (not delete) and tell the person who
made the topic to make it more discussable, fix typos, and let him post again,so the person could get better help, less smartass replies, etc. and make sure the first couple of answers of the topic are helpful. Fluther does this for questions, and it's a good idea.


I been to a couple of forums. and people are more interesting, the topics are more helpful, unlike CB. Theres nothing to discuss about.
People are too random, and less helpful then it use to be. so i could understand why its dead.


I'm saying is, we have The Lounge and the rest of the Community Center for randomness,
But Nothing is even interesting in those forums ether. It's a boring site.
it's still helpful though, for the past history (basically for myspacers) which is dead anyways. I still love this site cause of the history, the BBoR, and the showcase forum
(Cause i'm not good at designing and another forum probably would joke the shit out my design") lol, but thats about it.
Like Jc Topic
"a good read for designers/artists/creatives/etc, incomplete manifesto for growth"
wasn't no feedback on it or nothing that was related to it.



Maybe more designers, coders, professionals. techs would love this site if it didn't look it was ran by little teenagers.

I was talking about a new site though, taking resources, and the forums to a whole new level, and new ideas for the new web. Can't we gather the CB members who know how to created designs, code websites, and give out good ideas for this sort of site?

all people have to do is post more topics like that. you could too post more design thoughtful topics. shrugs. it probably wouldn't accomplish much, but it would accomplish as much as this topic.


yea it would be nice if those people loved this site, but they aren't going to. this site is run by a bunch of teenagers for the most part. i'm not talking about the staff as much as just everyone in general, this isn't a site for professionals and never has been really. a site like that needs way more people that are knowledgeable. most the people here have no knowledge of design. there's a few who can make layouts or graphics, but they aren't "designers". they're just people who can apply some filters and cut shit out in photoshop.

98% of the people who post for help here aren't concerned with concepts or ideas. their work isn't conceptual and doesn't visually communicate much of anything. it doesn't usually have any rhyme or reason to it. they can't tell you why they did anything other than they think it looks good. (which it usually doesn't even look good) they are unconcerned with actual design elements like visual hierarchy or negative space. their work usually has no coherent color theory or point to the colors they choose, and also they typically suck at coming up with color palettes. also the vast majority don't know shit about typography, how to use or not use type, etc. you can't take a site filled with people like this and make it some professional design site. the people here are like 16 year olds who like to make shit for myspace. they aren't designers and aren't even concerned with real design much.


i mean i'm cool with making some topics in my free time about working/historic graphic designers/firms/movements, or more design inspiration kind of topics but most people here aren't going to care. the only ones who will prob care much is the few people here who might be interested in a career in the field or perusing design school.


oh yeah and did YOU give any feedback on that topic i made? nope
