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....

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*

[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....
