Looks alot like TechCrunch! Good on ya for pissing off Michael Arrington because noone likes him 🙂
its the same theme… though Im not sure it was intended for other sites.
The same theme? Not really, similar, but not the same.
And FYI, I emailed Michael. 🙂
check the CSS for the mainmenu bits.
odd how those bits got moved around. I saw them in one nice big clump when I first looked – now theyre alllllll spread out. Funny how that happens.
I guess since you asked for a critique, Ill go ahead and say this: while you admitted to the sponsers thing being being “inspired” off another site, you left off the menu. And to me, atleast its pretty obvious you ripped/borrowed/lifted the CSS.
I dont like thieves, no matter what it is, or who it is, they happen to steal from.
Are you a thief, in the purest sense? I dont know. There is a fine line between inspiration and theft, after all.
Frankly, I would rather see a crappy original site, rather than one that someone regurgitated off the net. So I guess I dont like your site since so much of it appears to be just that — regurgitated.

I will look forward to seeing what it looks like after youve made the changes you mentioned in your e-mail, of course 🙂
Thanks for the honest comments.
Still have more to do on the design, but to be honest, I have “lifted” layout structure, meaning, where things go e.g the sponsers..
Additionally, parts of the css are from all over the place as I am no good at coding css.
Finally, I emailed Mike in the process too.
As far as I am concerned, this is inspiration, and will develop over the next few days as thus far I have only spent a few hours on the site.
I do however thank you for your comments, it’s people like you that will help me craft my skills and make better designs in the future.
No I am not being sarcastic, I actually am thanking you. 🙂
I have to say, I looked at some other things you’ve done and was vastly more impressed. And no, im not being sarcastic. 😛
yeah that’s my point, I needed a base to start from as always then I develop it over time. Like GuinchoGuy, TextBritain, TextAnonymous, YourMyCrush etc etc
Thanks for being honest 🙂
