I hold my web sites to the same standerds as I do everyone else. I know there a few proublems but mine serves its purpose. Last time I requested a Critique I got one reply. I dident want to do it again. It was depressing.

We aren't going into detail over your site for several reasons. Firstly, you didn't directly ask for a review originally. Secondly, it seems natural to assume that you'd be able to objectively analyse your own work by the same metric you used for the other site. Thirdly, this just isn't the thread for it -- ask in Critiques and you'll get more useful, constructive feedback.

Well there is a little diffrence between when I insulted their website and when you guys insult mine. No one has come up with a vaild reason that my site is not good. If you had a reason for saying my site sucks then I wouldent complain. I would proublay lo into fixing it.
I'm not going to depend on fancy effects for the web site to make fun of 20/20. I know revenge as I primary motive for a web site is "silly and childish" but I still want to see if I can do this. Plus if it turns out as good as I am hopeing to make it I will add it to my site to show off.

Bryan, I think you should review your posts in this thread and introspect a little. From our point(s) of view, what you're saying is really ironic. Like Roo says, you become defensive about your site when you receive unwelcome criticism, but that's not all. As Renegade says, your site (and what you intend to do with it) doesn't stack up so well in the same line of criticism that you apply to the other site.

Exacting revenge will destroy your honour, not defend it. If you want to handle this honourably, I concur with dk01, bow out gracefully.

Don't be offended by our replies. This is honest criticism, polite without flaming.

Oh my! See how defensive you got when someone offered an opinion of your site when you didn't ask for one?

Wanting to 'show someone up' is just silly and childish. To get respect you need to give some, and part of that is in keeping one's ego in check.

Just because you put a lot of work into your site, and it works great does not really mean that it is a good site either.

IMHO, that won't impress me. Also, I don't call that a "good site" either

If you want respect as a web designer, then, you will let this go and handle it like a respectable person. Not by making something to "show them up" because that is just immature. Additionally, if you want respect as a web designer or anything, try working your attitude

Well I will only spam them if they attempt to block me from posting. I just want them to see it. I know I should proubaly let it go. But I just want to defend my honer.

Spamming them for no reason won't get you any respect from me. Seriously just let it go. Its not worth it.

Whats wrong with my site?? I put a ton of work into that site. It doesnt look fantastic but it works great!!! BTW iI'm working on a site just to show them up.. I will have content very close to theirs but I dont want copyrigth issues. Any way I'm going to use 3D flash and css everywhere! I'm going to get a few people to help me post links to it all over their "message board".

I think its your right to send a review to them but you have to then accept any of the lip they give back to you. It is hard for them to take advice after seeing your site. I know I would be the same way. If on the otherhand you kept it private or they asked for a critique I think it would be different.

That's my 2c as always.
