Look Viking you're a trash Trump supporter what the fuck makes you think you can have an avatar that isn't what I decide? Shut your fucking trap and go away. Your trolling is tiresome and just shits up the forum.

Eh, I've seen much worse. You don't create a portfolio with an elderly comedy website in mind, usually you put stuff in there that attracts regular people who want to have a website/branding like what they think big companies or cool little startups have.

So none of the "work" that Giants has done is real, it's all case studies for companies that don't exist or are edited just enough to not be on the radar.

That's, uh, pretty standard. Especially if you're starting out.


E: And I honestly don't care how experienced Logan is. Lowtax said she's doing it for free, and will only get paid if she succeeds in making SA/Gaming Garbage more profitable. Maybe she'll fail, I don't know, but who cares, if it's free?

I realized that in hindsight but I stand by my words, it's ugly. Maybe I'm not up to date on what grabs consumers etc but yeah.

I have always tried to be honest with Lowtax so hopefully he understands and doesn't give a gently caress.

Also, this. Right now, by my very precise estimates, SA's front page on average attracts 0 new users a month, and generates about $20 in ads every year. There's literally no way to screw this up. Maybe Lowtax will have one bespoke artisan taco fewer in 2020, but that's about it.

I guess I’m a bit confused. She said the code here was all spaghetti and she was getting developers? I mean I’m all for getting more revenue irrespective of how it occurs. I was just confused.

a marketing person maybe hears something, maybe whispers, maybe little birds.
who knows what a marketing person hears, and what they may repeat.

i sincerely doubt a marketing person has any say in the nuts and bolts issues, but i've been wrong before.
