      http://www.databaseanswers.org/[^] I know yesterday we flamed a design company's website for being unusable, but at least it was 'kinda perty'. This one is probably difficult for the colorblind / impaired.

                  ha ha, zing! nope certainly not me. only thing. only thing I did that year was take apart systems, and fixed things, database stuff. only internet thing I did was write information about the internet as a report for extra grades in 98. I don't blame the guy though David, I remember when c sharp first came out, recruiters were asking for 5-10 years for it.

                      It is defiantly functional though, I mean who is going there but developers, the info is easy to find. And it also looks to me as if it's owner is legit trying to help people and coded it himself. I really find it hard to flame him to bad.

                      I was thinking 'defiantly' was a malapropism, but then I read it again. And seriously, I've seen sites that make that look like the STANDARD of web development. Use Google. If you don't value your sanity, that is.

                                This is nothing. I once found a library website that was, without a doubt, the ugliest site I had ever seen. Probably written back in 1995 and never changed. It was even formatted for 640x480. I wish I still had the link...I mean, the moment I saw it I literally screamed. :omg: :wtf: X| I still haven't fully recovered from it...

                                The world is going to laugh at you anyway, might as well crack the 1st joke! Have you tried turning it off and on again? Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?

                                      Damn, now I'm hungry! I love how all of the reviews are from 1997-2003, and the site hasn't been updated since 2004. Is it still open? Have they never raised their price?
