Why does FR's layout, design, usability, etc.totally suck!

[expatriot]

Poll question: Why does FR's layout, design, usability, etc.totally suck!

Why does FR's layout, design, structure, etc. look like total crap? Once you get in the forums the appearance totally sucks, the font set changes from page to page (you see this if you've ever trolled on their pages, and gone from various member account pages). It totally sucks. Why?

1. why is your grammar read like total crap?

hee hee

On Edit - Dammit - you caught it and fixed it before i could post!!!!

[expatriot]

6. Dude, I don't know! That freaked me out too...

I think I was assuming the persona of a freeper! I realized it right away and fixed it.

7. Actually, I have a problem with starting a sentence thinking

of one sentence and then in the middle of sentence I will end it as a completely different sentence... lik

Why is FR crappy? + Why does FR suck = Why is FR suck.

But it just makes me look like a dumbass.

Because no self-respecting designer would work for them. NT

2. Other: Who cares?

Let's just trash them. That's what it's all about, isn't it.

[trotsky]

3. Hehehe

As I read your subject line, even before I got to reading the poll options, I thought, "It's RimJob, he's a cheap lazy mofo."

4. That level of disorder

suggest incupient mental illness or mild retardation.

5. It's because Reagan cut funding for the arts, so the bozos think it

looks good. Same reason they listen to Rick Astley and Britney Spears.

8. I have read, here on DU, that Jim Rob might have a bit of a problem with

gambling.

Or so I have read here.

[madrchsod]

9. well it costs alot of money for upgrades

so i guess we here have alot more people contributing to our site than he does..of course the freepers are to stupid to figure this out....

[BlueJazz]

10. Their "Posting Software" looks like somebody got it off of....

..a Freeware site.....about 10 years ago...........

[ET Awful]

12. Oh come on, there's freeware that's better than that :)

Hell, any of a dozen php based freeware bulletin board systems would outperform that pile of dookie.

[Redstone]

20. So you've...also noticed...that rightwingers tend...

to express their...thoughts...with a lof of ellipses...even though they couldn't...tell you want an ellipsis is...to save their lives.

Why...do you suppose...that is?

Restone

[ET Awful]

11. Well, it's like every other aspect of the right wing. . . it's totally

fouled up. But, if you ask them, they'll tell you it works perfectly. Not only that, if you improve it, they'll try and get a campaign going to reverse it back to how it was before it actually worked.

It's just that freep mentality.

[LoZoccolo]

13. That's funny; Republicans like to call other people lazy...

...and accuse people of sponging off of them, but Jim Rob takes donations, probably from more people than are on DU because I believe they are probably still bigger than DU, and does little if anything to make their site readable beyond 1995 standards for the users who send in those donations. The whole layout looks like one of those "guest books" that people used to have on their web pages years ago.

Either that, or the users sponge so much by not donating or donating little for the web site they use all the time.

18. they are not as big as we think

more people get banned from there than any other web forum in history---often for small stuff. For all the "censorship" we supposedly have here (as some say) you have to be an obvious troll or really misbehaving to get Tbstd

[kedrys]

14. Other: it's not meant to be read/used by humans

That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it.

[El Fuego]

15. That's why they have to go trolling here

The neighborhood is better than at home.

[jmowreader]

16. Because Rimjob can't cut code

It took him MONTHS--months, I tell you--to get the FR programming stable.

Now that it is, he doesn't want to touch it.

I was gonna say "to get FR stable," and then I remembered who posts there. Nothing stable about that bunch, but at least the site doesn't crash very often.

[Zuni]

17. Rimjob scams the hell out of his site?

He never updates the site with new features like skinner does. For the small fees I pay to DU, I get far more than what the Freeps pay for.

[Terran]

19. Because.

They just suck, so naturally anything that has to do with them sucks as well. Simple, really.

[ghostsofgiants]

21. I came to the conclusion a while ago...

...that conservatives wouldn't know graphic design if it bit them in the ass.

[jburton]

22. Considering it looks vintage 1990's, it MUST be....

CLINTON'S FAULT!
