Ok here is my rant, and it is a rant which I am sure will be picked at by everyone, but I am starting to get peeved off by some things about young people on digitalpoint, here I go. If your under 18 and have some cool sites, be honest about them please. I am fed up of people stealing templates from Limewire, and using warez and classing it as something they made. Now I know sometimes it is people above 16 but most of the time its not. Please stop doing that, people at digitalpoint (such as myself) would be willing to help you make your own site, trust me it feels great when you own 100% of your site Teens seem to think this is MSN, it is one of my pet hates and that is people not using "I" for "i" and "im" not "I'm", I know it sounds silly but TRYING to get good grammer makes a post seem a little better. I know mine sucks, but I try... so please try! Never ever ever con people, it gives us young people olds bad names. I am fed up of people not wanting to buy something from me due to rep of other young people. One again we on digitalpoint can help you make money just ask.. you may not be able to enter a legal contract but have something called morals! Ok nice and short, I am 16 myself so I am just rather pissed at them things. Erm.. ok TvCC out.
Warez is fine IMO when againts big companys (eg I am sure lots aint paid for photoshop) however warez is horrid when againts small time script creators. And I hope you was joking in that statement "Y" = Why "u" = You Its defines how lazy the youths seem to be getting!
People will get lazier and lazier, because the way that society is designed laziness = money, and money = MONEY!!$$$!! So we as developers try to find ways to make people lazier, while selling them crap. The end goal is to have people sitting on a sofa 24/7 watching advertisement after advertisement, and buying stuff. Evenutually losing all there money, and ceasing to exist, because I have all there money, and they can't by anything anymore, so who cares, next customer please. Now the government throws a spike into this by a little thing called taxes, taxes are what keeps big corporations from taking all your money, the government takes money from the corporations and gives it back to communities, so people don't go bankrupt. In the end, companies will eventually end up accumulating all the wealth, buying out the government, and we will be run by corporations. However, if that ever occurred, it wouldn't be much different then it is now. Except I could see that things are very pyramid schemed, and there is not much room for advancement, family name makes a big difference. The End.
The reason you got your copy of photoshop from warez isnt because its a big company but your to tight to pay the full price and small time script creators stuff is always cheap so your happy paying that And your seriously 16? You sound like a grandad "defines how lazy the youth seems to be getting" wtf 16 year old says that.
Heh, I have a slight chuckel with that. Its not so much spelling when it is just not knowing how to spell, its when people do it when they are lazy Nah, I brought a script that cost 250 dollors once
I thought this was a forum not a grammar class. Honestly, I do not understand what's the problem with "Im".&."dont"...Plus, who wants to sit here and read total formal, business jargon?
*shrug* - some sixteen yr olds are different. I am sixteen, and I don't do anything that the OP describes. It does piss me off too, but to tell the truth, adults are capable of acting like idiots too, especially when they have the anonymity of the internet for protection.
Yeah, every one is different, but my rant is more againts those who conform to the sterotype. I know we at DP have some bloody smart 13 year olds yet alone 16 year olds!
No you really do misunderstand what I mean. I don't mean just not very good... I mean lazy. I mean how long would it take for someone to use I and not i. I think it is lazy and brought from the age of texting.
yeh dont worry, i was joking, i hate txt talk myself. And for the record "kool" has the same number of letters as "cool" its not quicker or cooler to write kool!
Some good points made about grammar. Honestly I used to imitate a lot of those when I was younger and wasn't paid for writing or posting. Now I don't do so as I am being paid, so I am supposed to write proper English. I remember I used to write "av" for have and "wiv" for with.
No it isnt fine because it is illegal just like it is illegal to walk into a shop and steal the same software that is sitting on a shelf.
You should cull the term "sucks" from your vocabulary as well unless you are using it to describe suction like a vacuum. The other form was obscene about 20 years ago and has worked it's way into kids vocabulary. I think it really....stinks.
Wow, I really agree with TVCokeCan. I'm 15 at the moment. I know I've said some really silly things on forums, just to get a joke out of it. But people under 16 must definately understand that this forum is designed to help web designers, and it's not meant to be a social gathering of teens, like msn. If we respect the other members on the forum, and use the forum appropriately (general chat for your funny or interesting comments and /google/adsense for your serious questions and answers) then we can all get along really well and achieve the purpose of this forum; a helpful community of members (from all ages, I guess) and webmasters, coming together and making for a better web, with more functional websites. Let's all try to be friends here, it's one of the few environments where stangers can meet up, reach out and help each other, and also have a lot of fun. I've met some really awesome, helpful people on DP and that's why I come here every day or so to participate. Thanks, ~ Kiddo
duhhhhh you could have made your point without ranting, it hurts you know? anyway point well taken hmmm about those templates and claiming it to be theirs, sometimes I feel like giving a lecture to the parents of those children. It is offensive that someone else takes credit for your work.
I love you people say I type u instead of you and r instead of are because its quicker. So, its quicker yeah? Are you in a rush? Do you have something else you could be doing so you need to save time? Atleast be honest, its because your lazy
