Letter to Pixelfx

March 17, 2006

I was browsing around my own StumbleUpon account (which you can find here if you’re interested: WTFBitca @ StumbleUpon) and came across Pixelfx.org. If you haven’t had your head in a hole you’ll know this site. It’s one of the crappiest tutorial sites on the net. I say that in all seriousness, it is one of the crappiest tutorial sites on the net. Don’t believe me? Read Jem’s review of it, Review: Pixelfx.org. I saw that it was updated and the owner had more some more promises of revamping it. Me being the evil little devil I am I had to comment and ask some pressing questions.

When you start revamping are you going to bring the tutorials up to an acceptable standard? There are many deprecated codes and such in the tutorials. Also will you be removing the scripts and that you did not write for download? If you hire staffers are you going to make sure that their standards are above those that this site has set?

I’m only asking because this site is foremost on a lot of lists for quality tutorial sites. I completely disagree with that and see this site as a place perpetuating bad ideas. However I’d like to see it redone in a better way so that those who use it can actually learn as opposed to… well I’m not really sure what to call the opposite. Either that or have the place closed down, after all there have been promises of revamping before and nothing has come of it.

Of course I had to spaz and mess up the URL to this place, I put .org instead of .com. In the interest of not being anonymous and admitting to my mistake I posted another comment explaining it and hopefully it won’t be jumped upon in order to forget, and not address, my original comment.

Now the biggest question of all: Will it be deleted or will it be replied to? Until she sees it no one knows. I’m leaning towards the former instead of the latter though. She seems like the kind of person who would delete a comment just because it wasn’t what she wanted.
