260014 2004-08-09 23:35:00 I contacted a NZ site,told them the website was a credit to the developers etc etc,had a brown nose,then mentioned that everytime i tried to navigate around the site a script poped up stating i should use internet explorer 4.

I believe the site is built upon a downloaded template,so went to the trouble of showing them the tiny edit needed to remove the pop-up.

All nice as pie and super smooth,or so i thought.

Next time i visited the man in charge had replied that i was pretty much an anus,wasn't welcome at his site and that i was a pos for the battering i gave his site....and then went on to state that if i was some damn good i could have the site and then he wouldn't have to suffer elitist people such as myself knocking his hardwork.


I then replied that i thought that his responce was bad form,that i never intended to knock the site and the slight tweak i suggested would enable users with different browsers to use the site,.


Then he deleted my account from his site.


Lmao.

The Site

www.aucklandatv.co.nz

260015 2004-08-09 23:40:00 What a ******. I have never seen a site that bad. I wonder if the "designer" gets a commission from Microsoft?

I tried to find a way of emailing him, but couldn't find a way of doing that without joining the site!

260016 2004-08-10 00:21:00 Auckland ATV Contact (www.aucklandatv.co.nz). They obviously hide there light under a bushel. Have sent a very nice little note to them, I'll hold my breathe for ten seconds.

Some more crap sites for your viewing pleasure courtesy of Ardvark (www.aardvark.co.nz), this one is the real doozy (www.mem.ac.nz) though, no way to email them unless you do a search for the hosts/builders. Not worth the bother IMO.

260017 2004-08-10 00:33:00 Thanks Murray, I have also added a pleasant note to their site. I do not expect a favourable reply. John H (8)
260018 2004-08-10 00:37:00 Oh, the real doozy is a classic!

Hahahahahahahaha - Yeah right. Good one Murray.

I also appreciated the Ardvark site. Should be better known.

260020 2004-08-10 01:16:00 John, that site is actually something to do with Canterbury University Engineering, the hosting/mastering of the site is the most pathetic and inept example I have come across, excluding overblown Flash. The AVT one will be feeling a bit picked on by now, thanks to Met's.

As long as emails are polite and factually correct, they should be respected as valuable info by the sites owner, that's not an arrogant presumption is it? Na! thought not ;).

Stu, isn't that the Domainz that were being a bit naughty re billing people for services they hadn't received or some such?

260021 2004-08-10 08:10:00 Met's Auckland ATV (www.aucklandatv.co.nz) is fixed. Got a very nice reply from Steven, by the time I got home from a job this evening it was done, good fast site too, almost as fast as some of the machinery on display.

Stu, Domainz are working on theirs, got 2 replies. Might pay to check it next week.

Anybody else got any sites they can't access or just frustrate the heck out of them :D

Cheers Murray P

maybe I'll have to learn how to read the source & fix them

260023 2004-08-10 08:30:00 Yeah TVNZ is annoying how it flashes images all over the place until the whole page is loaded. I just avoid going there unless I need to. wotz (335)
