Remember to drop the last vowel as well. Otherwise, Site like Flickr, Twittr and such would not be "2.0"...

Oi, weird internet trends.

I may know someone else that can create things like that using photoshop and they are pretty darn good...

Web 2.0 is the world's biggest joke. On humanity. I attended a conference on it once. They basically told us "Web 2.0 takes all the ideas, technologies, and standards created under Web 1.0 (which by the was just 'The Internet' at the time) and fuses them together to create 'interactive' websites driver by 'the user'".

Great, so if I take all the books, poems, and plays from "Literature 1.0" and rework them to create an "interactive" area (free, online collaboration on them eg) its not plagiarism... it's "Literature 2.0".

That's nice and all, but it doesn't really solve my problem. You see, i need someone to help me with some graphic work, not complain about web 2.0 and how it is the "worlds biggest joke". One thing i have a real problem with sometimes on these forums is that people don't read the post and comprehend what it is about. Instead, they hastily compile a response based off of god knows what and reply. i don't care if it is a "joke", and
i don't care if you went to a conference and got fed some info you could regurgitate immediately as soon as you see WEB 2.0 on your screen.

I asked for help with a logo in the STYLE of WEB 2.0

did i mention anything about my site being web 2.0? did i say web 2.0 is the best thing ever? did you even read my post?

so, if you want to help, fine. i would greatly appreciate it. if you insist on making negative comments and being unproductive towards my goal, please find a new topic to troll in.

Oookk..

Woh, woh, woh, slow down there cowboy. I didn't realize that comments made in any given thread (especially on this board of this forum) constituted a contract between the current poster and the original poster. In fact, I'm relatively certain that these threads can, and do, constantly veer from their original topic to discuss any manner of oddity.

To the point: Yes, I have an issue with the term "Web 2.0". In fact, it is a deeper issue with the majority of "design" that happens on the internet. But since you would rather I not "hijack" this topic, I'll go ahead and put that rant in its own thread.

To answer your question, no I cannot help you with the logo design. I am neither an artist, nor a graphic designer. Talk to Aceman, ISnipeWithAKnife, or Jakob der ludner, they're pretty good with that kind of stuff.

What contract?

tSz42 · Post by **tSz42** » Tue Sep 25, 2007 7:22 am

The off topic forums are for topics which do not relate to the overall theme of this site (pageantry). Internet etiquette does constitute a contract between the poster and the original poster. It would be the equivalent of one barging in on another's conversation and start talking about cheese, something they weren't talking about before.

As far as this post concerning this topic, I have already complied to cymtech's wishes and PM'd him about the matter.

Same here. Web 2.0 is weird really. I don't get it much really.

fluba, Ex Nihilo, and mkosbie. wow, we really have our A-Game going.

The point is, and read this twice if you need to, the original post was asking for help. every post that was made after that by one of you was totally not related to the proposed issue.

Just because this is an off topic forum doesn't mean that every post you make in every topic can be about anything you want. the off topic forum is for general ideas outside of the performing arts world. once a topic is posted, that becomes the theme for that thread. if you have nothing to add to it relating to that theme, DON'T POST.

Sometimes i feel like people post just to see their own comments on the internet. or maybe it is just to inflate that post count...

Thank you to everyone who has sent ideas, they are greatly appreciated.

And you so follow your own statements there.

You asked in the Off-Topic forums of a MARCHING BAND forums about web site design. In your request, you were very vague as what what the site was about and how "Web 2.0" you wanted it. And then you get all freaking worked up over NOTHING. Boo-hoo your thread got jacked. Welcome to the Internet.

And I feel that mkosbie was COMPLETELY on topic with his statements on "Web 2.0". You wanted something to do with they style of it. His post was all to do with the style of it. Sure, it was not the exact thing you wanted. But it was still within the general topic of "Web 2.0".

And I though the was the LAST place that Id ever have people attacking me and me having to make my pointed defense on the 'net...
