To start , SnarkPit . Because you can't argue quite well in the shoutbox .
Please don't kill me for this thread .

Tito, that was possibly the dumbest comment I've ever seen, because if you even looked at the source code you'd see 215 validation errors on the front page alone.Alright Penguinboy, here's the deal: As a fellow webmaster, I do appreciate your attention to details when it comes to proper, tidy, strict-to-the-letter, web standards compliant website source code. Really, I do. Now, with that said, I do also know that website source code is not an absolute, exact science. It can be, but it does not have to be. Why kill yourself over something that's not going to matter much, if at all? As long as the source code is not too sloppy and it's errors fall within the specification's margin of error, the web browser will display the website the same way as it displays one with a "perfect", written source code. Those 215 validation errors you said you found, if they were to be corrected, will the website display or function any differently? So, to recap, this 100% error free validation mentality is overrated, that is, as long as it does not interfere with the browser's ability to display the website correctly. Oh, and it's not just me that says that, a lot of those expensive, web development books written by these experts or gurus in web standards, say the same thing also. Now remember, I don't have anything against perfect source code, is just that I rather be practical over being a perfectionist.
I don't get what Hunter is trying to say. Are you pointing out the blurry screenshots or what?
IE version 8 is schedule to come out soonA very vague "soon". The IE8 release is still probably aeons away. And even when it's released, it will be aeons still until people have moved over to IE8. The majority of web users are still using IE6.
A very vague "soon".Yea, your right ZombieLoffe. Heck, I wont be surprised if IE 8 is released bundled together with the next version of Windows, whenever that is.
Well, for a start, TWHL's colors suck. This piss yellow is repulsive to all but the seasoned vets, which explains why I'm okay with it. Yeah, it's colorful and welcoming and warm. Warm like your toilet after you emptied your bladder into it.At last! Somebody is finally agreeing with me
Dude, you shouldn't put a space between the last word and the dot.To hell with this stupid rules. It's my bad habbit. What can I do?(observe how I write)
Penis . = incorrect.
Penis. = Correct.
I love the "new" TWHL.
somebody should consider on updating the theme constantlyPenguinboy has a life you know :/
<a href="index.php"><img border="0" src="styles/sp_green/images/header_logo.png" title="The Snarkpit" alt="The Snarkpit"></a>WTF? Did the coder forgot he was coding XHTML? Or did he just copy and paste it into his source code?
Less pictures = faster page loads=>
man striker do you always need something to complain aboutWhat else did I complain of ?
Look at this site and think.Not very impressive. Pretty unreadable and foremost generic theme. The TWHL3 theme is nice, in my opinion and a ton better than TWHL2 and previous. At least the TWHL3 theme isn't an ugly generic forum template.
At least the TWHL3 theme isn't an ugly generic forum template.Yes I agree with that . But it looks too standard . Do you like standard ? I don't.
HAHA, nice move The_(c)Striker, now everybody are arguing.checkmate ( really , it's not this lol)
wow that site is interesting !Well, if you are interested, I could add one of your maps to my site. I already have one from Rimrook, Captainterror, Klobb and just recently, Jinx. Go ahead and install the needed plugins, and check out for your self how cool it can really be.
somebody should consider on updating the theme constantlyNo. Waste of time and talent. There are far more important things on TWHL's horizon, such as the projects panel. Themes were planned at one stage, but it's an idea currently floating around in limbo because there are far more important things to worry about.
Speaking of internet speeds , I heard that some admins here are having trouble with these speeds . Are you thinking what I'm thinking ? Good !Huh? I have no idea what you mean.
Yes I agree with that . But it looks too standard . Do you like standard ? I don't.Widgets? Show me a new widget that is both useful and suitable for TWHL's purpose, if you can.
And it lacks of widgets . Also the polls are usually left for more than one month.
Widgets? No. Show me a widget that is both useful and suitable for TWHL's purpose, if you can.OH MAN!,.......There goes my suggestion on having a sports betting widget where your Paypal funds are at play, damn! But you did say show me, so I will try to come up with something good, Strider.

Some admins from here ( as far as I know) don't have a good internet connection and it's really annoying to wait for the images to load . That's why I think TWHL lacks of images . ( i'm not talking about the forums).Speaking of internet speeds , I heard that some admins here are having trouble with these speeds . Are you thinking what I'm thinking ? Good !Huh? I have no idea what you mean.
