I have gotten a total of 1 comment on both of these sites. That is unacceptable, in my opinion. I have been a Flash designer for 5 years, consider myself a decent web desinger, and I think I can design a usable website, but yet, I get no response…
Personally, I consider this bad manners. Someone should communicate to the applicatants, each week, that their submission is appreciated. Otherwise, the award loses it’s reward.
If there isn’t enough mods to cover this portion of the site, this portion should be shut down. Diluting the sotw will not do anything but deminish Kirupaforum.com’s reputation.
I have seen other well designed sites not reviewed at all. Yet, when a site which needs help comes around, more help than is needed comes around.
In my opinion, if Kirupaforum.com is going to award a SOTW, make it consistantly good, and awarded regularly.
Hey rev,
The SOTW is usually just here for me and others to comment on which sites deserve the award. For criticism, you should try the Site Check forum. There are more people who reply there with comments, etc. =)
I understand that Kirupa, but there were 4 sites submitted this week, and not one got a comment from a mod. They were worth at least a comment from someone saying thanks for entering (even MM sends out a thank you email).
The rules say that a site is chosen each Friday. I just see inconsistencies in when the award is given, and that dilutes the award’s prestige.
I’m afraid if the 2 sites I have submitted aren’t worthy of SOTW, or even a comment on how to make them better, then I won’t be submitting any more sites.
Yes I did, because I thought my site deserved consideration. All I was asking for was acknowledgement that I submitted. When you do submit here, you hear nothing unless you win…
That tells entrants nothing about what it takes to win Sight Of The Week. If you don’t know what the client is looking for, how do you plan to satisfy that client?
I don’t usually have time to come down here that often.
When did you submit a site Rev? What sites did you submit?
::other than the dynamic autowraps, which seems to be mostly HTML with just that one bit of flash, and doesn’t qualify for SOTW since SOTW has to be like 90% or so of Flash::
