just visited the netphoria front page by accident

christian zombie vampires · 06-28-2007, 04:25 PM

for the first time in years.

and it still does the whole take-a-minute-to-load thing. i never got quite what it was loading, java or something?

back in 1999 it was pretty normal for webpages to do this. but just now the whole experience was so jarring it basically took me back to 1999.

totally embarassing. and useless. not a good source of news either.

petition to link netphoria.org to forums.netphoria.org.

i agree

MisterSquishyHalo · 06-28-2007, 04:26 PM

Hah. I didnt think people still went to the front page of netphoria. There really is no reason to do that.

skipgo · 06-28-2007, 04:27 PM

netphoria has a front page? lol

NovaFritz · 06-28-2007, 04:28 PM

we can get a boob album but not a homepage that is the internet equivalent to a rerun of beat the clock.

What I find hilarious is that articles often point to netphoria, but dont mention thats its mostly about the message board. I bet if anyone actually went to netphoria based on an article, they'd be confused as to what all the hype is about. Cause ya...the front page pretty much blows. It used to be the best place for news...now you have to read thru all these threads.

Slug · 06-28-2007, 06:52 PM

netphoria?

Effloresce · 06-28-2007, 06:55 PM

netphoria really needs a fucking facelift.

especially the main page, ugh. that's just embarrassing

jamesey · 06-28-2007, 10:19 PM

the hit counter is what takes a minute to load. Since 98, I've had that delay on linux, macs, and windows! at least it's consistent.

I wonder how many hits the page would have if everyone went there first.

spank_thru101 · 06-28-2007, 10:55 PM

the front page is SOOOOOOOO vital. Where else would Andy post his ads and banners and pop ups?! On every other page!

OOOPPPPS!

My bad - he already does that. But the frontpage does link you to the other pages that contain lots of important and up to date info like this page: http://www.netphoria.org/rottenapples/charts.htm

errr...wait that page still promises tabs to the Arising Tour songs.

How about this one: http://www.netphoria.org/articles/articles.htm

...damn...that one has been promising us an article page for years now...hold on let me try again: http://www.netphoria.org/groundzero/

hmm...I am not sure, after all these years, what ground zero is meant to be but damn I am stumped. Andy sure knows how to keep us all in suspense!

"Alphabetical Charts

New Tracks From the Arising! Tour (coming soon)"

awesome. i think the incompleteness and dated aged look just adds to hatephoria's charm.

hereisnowhy · 06-28-2007, 11:14 PM

The forum is our secret society -- our batcave -- and the front page is the unremarkable wall of mossy rock concealing the entrance. Without that barrier just think of the fools we could have wandering in here.

troo!
maybe hotlinking from other forums should be disabled.

The front page should be a news wiki. After all, we are the ones updating each other, not Pakula.
