I'm getting discouraged by everyone who thinks that you need stellar design abilities to 'deserve' a domain. While I bear no malice to this group or its members, it makes me pretty depressed, because it says essentially that your page is worthless if it doesn't have a huge, intricate design. It does briefly acknowledge content, but then goes on to say that webmasters should still have 'experience.' According this website, I don't have any business with kurai because most of my layouts do consist of tables and text (though not BOLD text... =P). Of course, let's not mind the fact that most members of the elite design cliques I've seen have sites whose designs look AWFUL in ANYTHING but the broswer they're designed for, and by AWFUL I mean you can't even READ them. People, the internet WAS NOT CREATED FOR DESIGN. It was CREATED for INFORMATION. I have no problem with people who use design as a means of expression; I like looking at pretty pictures as much as the next person. But I'm sick of people acting like only websites with dazzling designs are worthy of consideration. Kurai is full of beautiful images (not by me, of course), and sometimes I can harrass my friends into making me designs with them. But that is not the purpose of its existence, and I wish these people would stop acting like it ought to be.
