…If changing the featured section really takes that amount of work to complete, than I suppose it's not necessary for you to spring to doing it. I'm glad to hear that you actually want the site to work as it should as well as adding new content, something that's been coming few and far between. I rescind my impatience but leave behind a feeling that probably others share of wanting more. I don't mean to sound entitled, but I do believe in a sense of professionalism: don't say that things are going to be a certain way or start a trend when they're not. That being said I understand the logistical problems you have with the featured section, splash page, etc. It's good that you have acolytes who claim to know/care more about the site than I do, enough to defend it against accusations that it might not be living up to its full potential. Thanks for responding and I hope your tech problems are cleared up in time.

"Fixing it" means a huge headache of installing a new version of ASP.NET on the server, re-moving all the code to a precompiled shared codebehind file and probably spending a few hours fixing the inevitable compatibility issues between these different versions of ASP.NET. I'm going to do it anyway, but not until sometime when I foresee having a few free hours with a good Internet connection and happen to feel like it.



Assuming you're the same person who was complaining about the splash the other day, what you don't seem to get is that there is a huge difference between wanting the site to work as it should and demanding it. I'm all for people wanting the site to return to full functionality as soon as possible (I'd rather prefer that myself), but coming here rudely ordering me to fix it already and acting indignant that I haven't, as if you're entitled to it simply for existing, is exceedingly irritating and very childish.



Moreover, I have every right to pick whatever the hell I want as the featured section on my own website and I can't even begin to imagine by what possible train of thought you can manage to be so offended by the fact I happen to be proud of my R/B/Y capture mechanics section (which, on an objective level, is very probably the most interesting thing on this entire website, considering it is information that is nowhere else on the entire Internet) that you're willing to make multiple posts here desperately demanding that I either randomize it or remove it altogether. Why in God's name is it so important to you that the featured section be random rather than hand-picked?

Like, say, a randomized link.

Fixing the website can also mean that she's trying to keep it from slowing down in unnecessary amounts. It's much better to have an efficient, fast-moving website than one slowed down with small aesthetic tricks.

well, what's she doing now that's so important she can't be bothered to fix her own website?

[20/03/2011 22:51:25]

She's not offended that someone likes it, merely incredulous that someone would rather her take time to do that, as opposed to making new content, or something else useful.

I don't understand why you get so offended when somebody wants your site to actually work the way it sholud



Just fix it or take it off. No one plays R/B and needs to know capture mechanics. Good work on the zodiac

Why on earth do you care so much about the featured section spitting out a random section rather than always the same one? As far as I can tell it's not important enough for it to be worth it to possibly significantly slow down the entire site just to have it be randomized again.

…kind of like Palkia is unavailable through regular gameplay in Diamond, and Groudon is unavailable through regular gameplay in Sapphire?



They even have a better excuse this time, seeing as in each game the opposite dragon is seen to have joined N; it would make no real sense for you to then go on to capture it. The whole point of Pokémon is to encourage people to trade with one another.

Well I know the poke'mon company does it to make more money but I still think it's a little stupid to make reshiram unatainable through regular gameplay in poke'mon white

I personally don't care what the mascot is. I never use legendaries no matter what. I liked it better in RBY when the mascot was a starter or Pikachu.



Victini for spammy.

[20/03/2011 16:19:35]

Kevin

Well, yeah. Anything is possible, but it's just extremely unlikely for it to be Genesect (or any Event Legendary, really).

Eh, not really. When R/S had just come out, a lot of people thought the third version would be Topaz and feature Jirachi. Anything could happen; it's not like Genesect is the only event legendary.

[19/03/2011 22:36:26]

Kevin

Mew, that's not going to happen. Genesect is an event-only Pokemon, so it's not going to suddenly be easily available as a version mascot.



You may as well be saying "Hey guys, maybe in the third game, they'll replace the Patrats on the first route with Celebis!"

still no help. (this guestbooks quality has dropped)

Hey Guys! I just had an idea. what if gamefreak makes a real twist and Genesect gets to be the mascot of the 3rd 5th Gen game instead of Kyurem? that's just an idea, but wouldn't it be AWESOME??

… of course, Kyurem could be the mascot, as expected, but if it is, I really hope it gets a new form, one that knows a lot of electric attacks, 1) because it looks really stupid right now, and 2) it seems to have light bulbs in its wings, drawing on the theme of frozen circuits.



…OH, JOY! theres a 5th gen spammy now!

Oh, hang on. I can just set paragraph the images are contained in to be left-aligned in all styles. Derp.

That's just because the text is justified. There are spaces between the images, so when there are too many images to fit into one line, the browser widens the spaces between the ones that do fit so that they'll take up the entire line. Then, because the final "row" only has two images, they fit into one line simply as they are. It makes sense for words, but for images it ends up looking awkward. Not exactly a problem on my end, though.
