Title: Site Da-scussion Thread
Description: please, just serious discussion
Real F'n Show - June 15, 2005 11:20 PM (GMT)
Post thoughts and ideas for the site here. Also, please confirm what you plan on doing for the site (ie: reviewing tapes, writing a column, contributing to multi-person reviews, etc.)
Hopefully Swigg is close to getting this done, and he and LFV can do a column together. Oh, the hilarity!
I plan on doing a little of everything, and will probably have a column.
Plans - Nothing set in stone; will be edited
*Swigg's got the dWb, bWo-style banner for the opening page.
*Tape Review section
*Column's section
*Raw reviews (one person or roundtable-style, haven't decided)
*Smackdown reviews (same as Raw)
*Velocity and Heat reviews (probably Scrooge)
*PPV reviews (most-likely roundtable style)
*Other reviews (music, literature, video games, movies, etc.)
---LFV wants music
---DK wants film
---eStragand possibly literature
*Most of the banners are made I think.
*Link to the forums
*I think a Forums Quote of the Day would be a could idea

I can probably do Velocity or Heat for reviews, but odds of me doing both is a little slim, because I don't always remember to record both shows every weekend, especially Heat since 7 pm is a bad time for me.
I also might me able to contribute a "Retro Review" every now and then, depending on how lazy I am or not. Most like NWA/WWF PPV's, or WWF Coliseum Videos, since I have more than enough of those to review.
Round-Table discussions are very good for Raw and Smackdown (and PPV if anyone orders them), since it contributes multiple point of views instead of the 1.

Sounds good, I'd rather you do Velocity anyway, considering it's a better show.
I'll probably do just a random column and lump some of everything together, and if Heat sounds decent, I'll tape it and post my thoughts, so no big deal.

Sorry about the not-yet done site, my new job sucks up WAY more time. I was working 25 hours a week max, now I'm pulling down full time. Lots more money, but it doesn't seem like that

I could do some tape reviews and possibly film reviews too......
whitemilesdavis - June 18, 2005 02:03 PM (GMT)
I'm down for indy reviews, possibly DVD reviews. What would you guys think about just getting something quick and temporary up until Swigg gets the permanent site ready?
eStragand - June 19, 2005 04:28 AM (GMT)
I could contribute my usual 7 or 8 old school tape reviews per year. Have a few literature (ie: NOT comics) reviews that I could toss towards ya'.

Does anyone know how? I have computer retardation...

Here's a question, What screen resolution does everyone use? If anyone still uses 800x640 please say so.

Big F'N Swigg - June 19, 2005 11:17 PM (GMT)
Real F'n Show - June 20, 2005 12:12 AM (GMT)
How do you know what resolution you have?
Scrooge McSuck - June 20, 2005 12:56 AM (GMT)
I checked my screen settings, because I have to alter it a lot to fit my EWR game screen.
Big F'N Swigg - June 20, 2005 01:31 AM (GMT)
Alright, I've got a design, and it may take me some time to get this to a working web site. But I may be able to pull it off......

(note: The TNA adds are just for show)
Scrooge McSuck - June 20, 2005 01:49 AM (GMT)
I like it! I like it! I like it!

Nice job Swiggy.....I like it.

Not at all...check my background and you'd see I'd be one of the last people to lob a scud at comics. I just wanted to designate some stuff as "non-comics"..cuz otherwise I'd just be re-producing the same comic stuff that I cover on my website. That is, the junk on THIS particular page:
http://www.estragand.com/comics/If you really wanted someone to do monthly updates on Avengers, JLA and such, I could do it.
whitemilesdavis - July 4, 2005 02:13 AM (GMT)
Just an idea...
For the time being, why don't we do Da Wrestling Blog? We could just give the password to those contributing reviews and columns, and then at the end of each entry, put a link to discuss the article here. And of course, pimp the blog everywhere possible. Whatcha think?
EDIT: I went ahead and made it for the heck of it.
Da Wrestling BlogTell me if you want to update it.

Sounds good. I promise that if we get a site going, I'll be much more motivated to do DVD reviews. Remember, I have Taboo Tuesday laying around upstairs and I would just LOVE to roast it.
Real F'n Show - July 4, 2005 07:19 PM (GMT)
That should hold us over well until Swiggy finally gets the site done, then we can transfer the reviews over to the site or whatever. Good idea.
Scrooge McSuck - July 4, 2005 07:19 PM (GMT)
Don't diss Taboo Tuesday. It supplied me with this as my avatar...

Oooooh yes, I marked out for that moment when I was watching the DVD (one of the few mark-out moments on it).
That Battle Royal was awful though.

Light it up man. I can PM you the blog password.
Scrooge McSuck - July 5, 2005 07:06 AM (GMT)
I can contribute a review here and there to the blog when I'm motivated enough to do one.
whitemilesdavis - July 5, 2005 01:21 PM (GMT)
Hey, I just added some thoughts on RAW over at the blog. I thought for the time being, we could kind of take turns posting our thoughts on RAW and Smackdown over there. Check it out and tell me what y'all think.
Scrooge McSuck - July 5, 2005 01:43 PM (GMT)
Usually I bitch and moan about your complete Hogan-bias, but for once I agree. Carlito shouldn't have done a pinfall job in a meaningless match like this. I already see him as inferior to everyone because in every match he's won, all he does is cheat, and he's always the bitch. A DQ or No Contest finish could've been acceptable with HBK turning mid-match, maybe with Hogan playing the face-in-peril instead.
whitemilesdavis - July 5, 2005 01:58 PM (GMT)
I meant more of, what do you think about the format? We can discuss Raw in the Raw thread.
Scrooge McSuck - July 5, 2005 02:54 PM (GMT)
It looks fine. :) Simple and to le point.
dynamite kido - July 5, 2005 03:39 PM (GMT)
I'll definately add to the blog with some reviews as soon as my home PC is fixed.....my hard drive went and I should be getting it replaced later this week. I can't really do reviews on my work computer..........

Any word on progress or anything? Guys are throwing out reviews left and right...

I'm working on getting a prelim site running, and I'm gonna take some website building classes in Jan

Big F'N Swigg - April 19, 2006 08:04 PM (GMT)
Well, I now know how to use Dreamweaver properly, thanks to my last class. I'm working on a fresh design.... We'll see how that works out. I think I'm going to yank a bunch of the reviews in the reviews section for some content.
eStragand - April 19, 2006 10:12 PM (GMT)
Noooooooo... not Dreamweaver.
Seriously, alot of novices use it, and it does a shitty job of explaining remote vs. local files. Those ".DWT" templates can really stunt your proper development.
Big F'N Swigg - April 20, 2006 12:42 AM (GMT)
Oh trust me, I know. But it's a hell of a lot easier as an FTP program than some of the other shit I've seen.
Besides, I'm taking an XHTML class right now, and it's pretty much "Remember what we did with Dreamweaver, yeah... That was wrong" class.
