We are back online

Hi i would just like to say that futuramacenter.com is back up with a new design, please check it out. Also have a vote.
Matt
Thanks

[Reply #1 on:]

Okay, nice work, Matt.
The design is okay, but it's good to see the site back.

[Reply #2 on:]

[bump]

hey, it is ok if you drop PEEL support in favour of your own thing there, but it would be nice if you tell, so i dont have to carry your button anymore and can give the button exposure to those who support us.
Also, if you use PEEL-avatars as your (sole) design feature, it would be nice to ask the persons who did them and me in advance... Those avatars can take up to several hours to do.

Don't know if Velour is ok with her avatar being used that way or if she was asked about that, but telling me in addition should be a fair thing to request.

Same goes for your message board. If you didn't ask Paul, Plank, me(no you didn't) and others who did those avatars for PEEL, remove them as you didn't ask in advance, thanks.

In other words: If you want to be linked to by other pages (which you desperately need), don't steal their stuff.

Is this the beginning of Avatar Wars II?

[Reply #4 on:]

Matt {FuturamaCenter} is in charge of placing Banners and things like that.

The Avatars was a bad idea but it was only meant for a tempory fix untill i got more. I do apologize.

AHHHHH! Stop with the new designs every 2 days!

How does one go about getting ones site button on PEEL? (testing the water here)

[Reply #7 on:]

supporting peel with a button and a button will do for the lower row 

[Reply #8 on:]

well... i already do have a PEEL button on my site... who do I contact to get the button here? You? or just give the URL of the button?

[Reply #9 on:]

Hmm, probably just posting about your site might get Marc's attention. Support PEEL. If Marc likes it, Marc links it.

If your site is AU, look down at the bottom, i added that yesterday   
It will be shown on most pages, but not all (at random) as we have more supporters than i can place buttons here without pissing off users. So, the first line is reserved for long time supporters and bigger sites, the second shows a random 7 out of the other pages which support us.

You're playing random hearts with my heart marc-y. 
 


Awwwwww how can I stay mad at you!   

[Reply #14 on:]

You have a link to the German FO ripoff, but not the original?

[Reply #15 on:]

well, first of, it's a sanctioned rip off 
and I'm in contact with Robert from TFO. He doesn't want to be linked till there is more to see. Once he wants to be down there, he's sure my guest.

then get rid of the stolen 40 avatars.
people worked hard and many many hours to bring them to peel.

and i want that those who did the avatars matt used for the futuramacenter design are *asked* if they are fine with it. (thats velour, paul and plank in case you don't know from whom you copied them).

Seriously, webmasters should know that ripping off content and hard work of others is nothing that gets them many links or popularity among the other webmasters.

Although you are a helper of Matt's, the real owner, you say you're the owner and now you don't work much there?! Harsh...

[Reply #18 on:]

Hi!  remember me kifley jr?  Nice website.  That picture of fry on your main menu looks kinda... familiar.... hmm, i wonder why.

I guess thats why you guys don't link to peel, because then everyone would know that you ripped us off.  I'm gonna make my own website and just steal all your code from your site, ok?  wait I guess i shouldn't even ask, cause that's not how you guys do things. 

get my artwork off your fucking website ok? right now.

[Reply #19 on:]

I'm not going on it, anything that rips off PEEl should (if you'll excuse my language) piss off...

[Reply #20 on:]

I don't mean to sound terribly ungrateful, but could you link it to the new URL? http://aliens-unlimited.cjb.net
it gets rid of that damn geoguide in the corner

I'd do that, but everyone hates it (including me) when you make unnecessary threads and messages regarding your site. Its really annoying.

[Reply #21 on:]

thought so that velour and the others were not asked beforehands ... I'm pretty sure velour would have said ok to using her avatar *if* she was asked in advance.

chump: changed the address. just didn't want people to have to endure the flash intro :P Flash intros keep people away from pages as they start thinking "ugh .. i would have to look at that again"

[Reply #22 on:]

The Flash intro is scraped in favor of a direct link to the main page.

I am siding with PEEL over FC in this one. I no longer advertise the FC button on my page.

by Kifley Jr n FCMB:
I will not remove them. The best i have to offer is I will pay tribute to the creators of the avatars.

Anything more is asking to much.

That is my final say in this matter

You should rethink. Definitely.
You stole them, you say it was a bad idea, you are sorry, you apologise and now it's too much to remove them?
That gives you a very bad stance with other webmasters who like their content protected from such things.
I never went against your board - not even against advertising it here - until now. Stealing things from the competition is too much though. (Maybe the design bits on FC aren't in the same league as stealing from a message board for a messageboard, but still).
Take the avatars down or I might see what i can do to that effect to protect the work of PEEL dedicated persons.
Seriously.

[Reply #24 on:]

those are fightin' words

How about you pay tribute to my ass... by kissing it!

[Reply #25 on:]

War! HUH! What's it good for? Absolutely nuthin'! (Say it again!)

I have to side with Velour and the rest of us Avatar creators on this one, Please REMOVE my avatars from your site, NOW.

[Reply #27 on:]

I have to side with Paul, 'cause he created my avatar AND my sig block. Delete the damn avatars, and delete 'em now!

[Reply #28 on:]

I agree to agree that everyone is agreeing to being agreed.  Yes, that’s it. 


I liked this site when it had a cool layout and it seemed like some cool content.  But now it has had about 9 crappy layout changes and it seems to not have any content anymore.  I think if you don't want to have a site with original content and pictures.  Then don't make the fucking site.  And stop stealing everyone else’s hard work.

I ALWAYS give credit to who ever gives me info for my site.  And I always either link to their email or website.  I don't want to become a site that has a bunch of stolen articles and pictures.  I want an original site that people will come back to.  Every time I go to FC all I see is nothingness.


But, keep trying, don’t give up.  Just take the stolen content down and start fresh. 

[Reply #29 on:]

here,here!i dont have my own website but i know what i likes and i likes original content and lots of it!

[Reply #30 on:]

ignoring won't help.
I'm busy till thursday. If they aren't taken down gracefully till then, I'll see what i can do on friday.

I have nothing to do with the design anymore.. I stopped working on the site. My life has got much to busy.

[Reply #32 on:]

Notice on FCMB, Issue being resolved. FCMB will take the avatars down on the date assigned.

 

Originally posted at *FCMB Announcements*:August 21, 2001

FCMB Underfire

I have been asked to remove about 30 some odd avatars. For the fact that FCMB was not givin permission to use them.

They will come down Wensday 22. This does Not directly affect anyones avatar at this point.

On behave of FCMB we apologize.

-- MarshallSomers

Now you must understand. FCMB and FC are not the same website. I gave up on FC.com because the, as has benn mentioned, layout never stays the same. and also I have alot happening in my life outside futurama.

If you would like FC.com [Matt] to change anythign they have done, contact Matt at  simpsonsgl@aol.com
