Flash intro quite good. 70% correct? Is that supposed to be good? What do they do, guess? Use a pin? Read the Sun? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flash intro quite good. 70% correct? Is that supposed to be good? What do they do, guess? Use a pin? Read the Sun? It's advertised as more than 70% accurate. Clearly this allows for an actual accuracy of between 70% and 100% Some of the celebrity descriptions (and pictures) are, regretfully, amusingly inaccurate. The "proud to be more than 70% accurate" tagline kind of reflects this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Strangelove 14 Posted October 27, 2005 We've just come across your poll and comments on didtheydie.com whilst doing a Google search, and though you have closed off the topic would like to respond to your comments. Sorry you didn't all like it. Sorry, in fact, that none of you seem to like it To answer some direct points: .... Despite the fact you generally don't like DTD your comments are extremely useful, so thank you. Perhaps it's not clear to users exactly how it works, and we need to make it clearer. Regardless, if you have any suggestions for improvement (over and above "it's crud, close it down!!") we'd genuinely like to hear them, and will probably act on them. Best regards and utmost respect to the "deathlist" XT. With your mature & tolerant reply you've made me feel all guilty now! It probably was a rather mean poll that I now regret a bit. I think the main problem was that on Deathlist we're always searching for new tools & websites to help answer the dead/alive question, and your website got my hopes up; but didn't turn out to be what I was looking for. I hope you carry on and improve your website, and are not put off by insensitive clods like me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saint Peter 14 Posted October 27, 2005 Recently the website didtheydie.com has been mentioned several time on the DeathList, personally I think it's a complete waste of time.But what do the rest of you think? Not to put too fine a point on it, but it's sh*te. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to put too fine a point on it, but it's sh*te. Saying it's sh*te isn't very nice, I read above that sensible comments were wanted but I see some people are puttin on "crap" etc etc,. Even if you do think it is sh*te you should say why not just that it is S**t. Personally I agree with the guy who wasd saying that there's too much scrolling. There is too much scrolling!! I thought the site was funny (I love the pictures!!) but the controls are all over the place and none of the pictures at the top really needed to be there. my favourites: Paris Hilton Napoleon Osama Bin Laden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted October 27, 2005 Could be this: (apologies to absent friend Yoda) Even if you do, think. It is. Sh*te you should. Say, why not? Just that. It is S**t. or even this: Even if you do, think it. Is sh*te you? Should say "why", not "just that". It is. S**t! None of which makes the slightest bit of sense, of course.

Even if you do think it is sh*te you should say why not just that it is S**t. Well, call me an insensitive shithead, but I still think it's crap. It may be amusing crap, I don't know, but it's crap nonetheless. The layout s*cks, some text-editors suffer from severe dyslexia and the movies are getting on my nerves. But well, the internet is full of crap, so that's okay with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomb raider 9 Posted October 27, 2005 I detest the use of smilies (they're childish, annoying and they deteriorate the language), but your post certainly deserved it!

Not exactly sure what you're getting at regarding the sh*te thing, but I for one don't really care if people are dismissive of the site... "It's S**t", "it's crap" etc. What's far more useful to me are the suggestions for improvements, specific problems/gripes etc, and some of you have been good enough to provide these. --- One of the earlier posts mentioned that you guys were always looking for new tools to help you answer death queries.... We already have a "random stiff" webservice, and are making available a "stiff query" webservice which returns whether dead, alive, not known.. and if dead the cause and date of death.

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted October 30, 2005 I thought the site was funny (I love the pictures!!) but the controls are all over the place and none of the pictures at the top really needed to be there. Aye, that cheesy banner at the top looks like an ad. The silly bint sitting at the computer might look better with some blood or glowing eyes or something. There is also an ad at the top of the page, which is pretty contemptible really, given the low price of a pint of web hosting these days. I wonder if every time one of us visits your site, you and your drunk-in-the-pub mate get a couple of pee for the beer kitty? That would disqualify you both somewhat from the HLEGA*, wouldn't it?

(*Honourable League of Enthusiastic Gentleman Amateurs) I quite like the manic look in her face - and the fact that she's happy because they're dead When you're kicking out a load of bandwidth, hosting isn't free. Advertising is a commercial reality. You'll find it on most internet sites. Most people who spend any amount of time on the net these days (which I reckon is most of you guys, given the amount of posts you make on here ;-) have some ad blocking add-in on Firefox, so why not use it? If advertising offends you to such an extent, you obviously have the choice not to go to the site, but we'd really rather you did because your feedback is most helpful to us.
