what the hell are u talking about carbon boy????
I think if YOU are not interested in Africa it’s YOUR problem!! If some other people want to have a look at how Africa is looking like and if there’s somebody living there who want to show his hometown i accept it!
And there are sure many who will visit the page and say, hey the site is looking good and so on!
First think, then write...
Nice done egmond!

Darling, who said Im not interested in Africa? I fuckin LIVE in Africa! My only complaint was that this is the 2nd time he’s put links onto this forum for THE CRAPPIEST sites EVER.....i.e. www.roxette.co.za - it makes me ashamed of being a South African Roxette fan!
Anyways, apparently you have a thing for Africa, well, why dont you go check out the site my colleague and I designed: www.ectourism.co.za - its where I am from.....hopefully you will THEN understand my point of criticism.
;o)

Sorry you don’t like it Hanro. Checked out your site! Very good indeed. Just so you know, I’m not working for a COMPANY like you do, and I do this for the fun of it, and it makes me happy! And by the way, I can say what I want on this forum. If you are so south african, then you’re supposed to know there’s freedom of speech, and I can say whatever I like, where I want to, and I don’t get anything by “advertising” on this website. I’m sharing my point of view, just as you, and if you feel ashamed because of my roxette site, that’s your problem. (Oh, by the way, more than a thousand fans who saw my link, took the time out and checked it out! And if you have any fears that I have given anybody a misconseption of south africa, that’s your problem!)

@carbon boy:
Ok, tastes differ, but why should every person do a perfect site, since he/she does it only for fun?
It’s everyone’s self problem, and everyone can decide, whether to visit a site or not. and i think it’s not a bad way to promote his site. And the Roxette-site of Egmond IS very nice done with so cool videopictures and very good texts. And every background is designed to each song...and so on.
By the way why should we have a misconception to Africa??
@Egmond: Well done site with good pics! Thankx!
And here’s the URL to my site: http://www.music-centre.de. Any protests?!?

Well, “Small Talk” is not a web-designer’s forum... We must remember that.

They changed my hometown’s name from Pretoria to Tswane while i was overseas :’( It has me very confused now :S Was i born in Pretoria or in Tswane????
purplemedusa said on February 19, 2005 11:22:
Oi!!! Pretoria ain’t a town, my love!!! It’s a hole... urm I meant a City!! LOL... I didn’t even know about the name-change... such a bad South African I am...
purplemedusa said on February 19, 2005 11:24:
It’s actually rather stooooooooooooooooooopid come to think of it.... imagine the Yanks decide to remane NYC to Bushy City or sumfing like that??

Argh! What a terrible way to promote your hometown - I mean, the site - hope u didnt design it! Im sorry if I sound like a total bitch, but I dont think you should’ve put the URL on this forum - everyone already has a misconception about Africa, and now u made it worse on so many levels - that is IF they actually took the time to look at the site. Terrible.Terrible....
