I have to take responsibility for this. I have not put any pressure on my free Admin help who have been gracious enough to give of their time.
Yes the gallery needs fixed, but this is a site free to all that want to be on it and there are some short comings to things being done for free. I will work on getting a fire under this issue. Here is my theory though... Money = influence an pressure from those that have it. I don't need or want any of the above when they are all tied together as they normally are. Too many strings an too much BS. If anyone has ideas on how more timely site management can be retained in a good way, lay it out here. Nobody has ever liked the idea of dues and I can understand that, but we have to live with the short comings if we keep it this way. Marcus -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

It's not marcus's fault, it is my own. I reasured everyo0ne that I would keep up with the site and I have failed in doing so. I am truely sorry for the lack up updates. I have been way to busy to contribute any time to the site and if anybody else has any ideas I am up for it. I can try and get some things working agian but dont have time for the complete overhaul this site requires.
Now, I am bending over and waiting for the kick. ;-) Michael Roth. -------------------- |

For the record I have not felt pressure and have given no influence to the advertizers. They pay for advertizing and get a good deal at that. So that is all square.

well,
In all honesty, i don't think this spy thread is meant to place blame or kick to the curb either mike or marcus... I could go through the pain staking process of digging up crap, to prove this, but, spy, i believe you are coming after me. And I have better things to do, such as learn the language needed to fix the front page. and I'll take blame for some of the allegations made... my skills and time have limited me from making the improvements i want to see for this site at the pace i want it to go... if you have a problem with me... you know my number.
-------------------- game over.

All in due time. Nothing is going to get fixed by craming it through all of the sudden and no personal issues have anything to do with DSMCentral or how it is run.
I don't think this is a personal attack on how I manage DSMCentral, but it's starting to feel that way. I am responsible for the management and dis-repair of this site, because I'm the one on this meager host of personal web interaction, making the final decisions to do or not to do something. As our well known Josh (aka: SloPny) would say...Like it or Lump it. This is a forum open to the public though and freedom of speech can be practiced. We as modderators just try to keep things on the DSM subject. As humans at work, some things seem loosly managed while others get axed or fixed without warning. Nothing's perfect and this site goes right along with that like everything else. I'll be hoping for some good ideas, but in the mean time I'll see what I can do to get some of these repairs taken care of. Marcus -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

I agree with Kicks on this one. Most of us are at work during the day and have lives outside the internet at night. We do what moderating we can when we can. The rest of the time, we depend on the members of dsmcentral to man up and act like adults, so we don't have to treat this site like 2nd grade recess. If this offends anyone, grow thicker skin.

The first two items listed were already present. The front page is supposed to pull randome pictures from the garage or a separate cash of pictures of members cars with their best ET's or features listed on them.
Ideas? -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

YES Spyder! You are absolutely on the right track with the second picture. I would like to pull members photos randomly from a database to be viewed on the DSMCentral homepage when it is brought up.
Can you do that? Or at least the picture database? -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

I can definately take care of the pictures. Let me see if my technical abilities will allow for using the ad code to randomize the front page images...

Looking for some feedback here:
I only have four example images, with made up ETs, so the randomization may appear to be a little off. It uses the same time based logic as the ads do so it should be pretty good when more pics are added. Should the pics be a little larger to fill the entire frame? Should the outline on the words be slightly darker? New Front Page? - Refresh a few times to see the images change -------------------- Fast & Furious on the outside...DSM under the hood!!!

I like the picture size and the randomizer looks like it's working perfectly! I wonder if we justify all the text to the lower left had corner it may help the readability. May even be able to reduce the text size a bit and maybe 'Fire' up the brightness of the best ET to draw attention to it.
Great job! -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

OK, I changed three of the images on the Example Page. It might make the most sense to use either the lower left or right depending on the least obstructive to the car. On the new awdnot2gsx image I placed it on the right...
I also cranked up the brightness of all of the text, shrunk it, and darkened the outline. -------------------- Fast & Furious on the outside...DSM under the hood!!!
