I've been outta here for, what, a week and a half, two weeks? And I come back and it seems, like, dead. Resources hasn't had a thread in over two weeks. -_- So what I wanna know is... what happened to the happy, lively, thriving place WD used to be?

You also have to factor that most of the old veteran webbies that frequented here during Webbies' glory day have left or been banned, and I'm going to bite my tongue to keep from saying what I want to say about most of the posts in here now... >>
In other words, Webbies ain't what it used to be, JA... =/

no it's not the same and thats sad..

webbies is suppose to be a place where Pokemon webmasters and really any webmaster can come to talk about building websites, get advice or coding help, show off their new layout or hot gfx..

too bad it's not truely utilized as it (peer help..) is a powerful tool in the webmastering scheme of things..

I have talked to alot of the old Webmasters that used to be around, and they usually say the same thing. They are sick and tired of having to deal with n00bs...

Reviving it won't help, unless there is a large decrease in n00b webmasters that will just disapear after a few months.

Kudos to Robo for combatting the n00bs on all fronts in WD, and hopefully under his leadership we can bring this back to somewhat of its former glory.

yeah to much n00bs, thanks to them this place isn't the same, everything was better a year ago, where everybody help each other and talk about webbie stuff, now everything is different there just people advertising site without content and layout or asking for free layout.

Webbies always had n00bs but the number has vastly gone up. Maybe not that many more, but there is hardly a balance anymore.

There is like 3 big sites left and 20,000 small n00b ones XD and like 10 in between.

Though I am sure the number of big sites will increase when Diamond/Pearl are released, it is always sad to see your friends leave the pokemon community *pokes Simone as a example*

They are only crediting PPN and Serebii because they are two of the biggest sites. I don't really believe they cause it, because noone wants to spread n00bism. It just "happens" usually more during the long winter months when no one is outside amd there is no new Pokemon game :P

I agree with you guys, it's the n00bs. "First there was the BABY BOOM, now get ready for the n00b b00m!1!1!!111!!" xDDD

It is driving alot of people away (in my opinion) I get on here and see LOADS of threads locked or moved, because someone can't take time to read the rules... >.>;; And it seems that in the resources the only priority is getting a new layout O.O;; if you take a look at it most of teh threads are about layouts >.>;;

Well most of the good webmasters also were great designers, so we really have a epidemic on our hand.

There are a couple good designers, and none of them want to make layouts for people for free anymore. Which is sad because I am not one who can use paypal to buy things (thats a whole other story XD)

Anyways, I have a new project dealing with this problem that I will be releasing here at PC first. So be on the lookout.

Because you have better things to do in life than post at a Pokemon forum?

This thread ain't one month old so I'm reviving it,. Looks like PC's WF has got some action and activeness. With JK Posting up to Cheer, Morkula's Strong Tyranny, Master Blaze and lotta guys like me, etc returning, this place is back to normal. Reminds me of Good 'ol times when I was a noob @ Webmastering..

I think Webbies will never *die* I think that there are just times when it slows down, I mean new members come and go but webmasters are forever.

A Website is like a diamond, always and forever (when using archive.org)

The only reason we're alive again is because of Greg, I think XD.

I have my spam partner back! <3
