seems like nearly everybody on my site got a mail along the same lines. whats wrong with people? do they really think thats a "concept" that works in the long run, beside the fact it is basically identical with my old messageboard and shows in fact a bunch of the original posts from there??????
just a post of one of the members on my site:
...Now I have to admit I was a little bit disturbed! First I thought, oh the guys from *********** started under a new name over - even if that makes no sense at all considering that the old name rings a bell with people this days.
So to make it short, i went to the site and first of all i was a bit more disturbed. Considering a (dive) professional website one has to wonder about the topbanner on it showing a guy in (freediving?) outfit with his mask in the most unprofessional manner where? - right, you guessed it, on his forehead!!! Now that is a elementary nono for several reasons in scuba diving I thought. One would be that it easy to loose in this position the more relevant is that it is commonly considered as a sign of distress!
So what does the designer trying to tell us - that the site is in distress from start up????
Anyway, I started to look into it a bit. next amazement, i find copied articles from the old *********** messageboard. Why would you have to do that as the first and leader in professional divers online communication one would have to ask himself....
