Welcome, Jeff!

Goodbye, Jeff!

I'm still waiting for the post where you make it display our name in the title, so we see something like "We've got a surprise for citricsquid, you're hired!". The hilarity would know no bounds. I've ruined it now though.

Geoff Peterson would like to say `HELLO, CRAIG!`

In case you didn't know (and why would you? Unless you're also a Farker) - when Fark updated its page design (relatively minor changes IMHO), there was an outpouring of drama (reminiscent of recent issues here). A moderator, who amusingly enough was named Jeff, got irritated, and said the infamous words: "You'll get over it". That caused the previously-building drama to explode out of hand. Thus the reference. :)

Is Jeff the intern you were soliciting? Is he a new full time hire? Or just a contractor? Does he qualify as the "+1 Engineer" achievement? How were you were able to hire him when Conde Nast previously would not let you hire more engineers? Will you be allowed to hire a sixth and so on right away or is it contingent upon something else, and if so, what?

Some say Van Gogh cited Jeff for inspiration

All we know is..he's called Jeff

I'm thinking more along the lines of a bloated Java applet

Lets fast track this one.

That's pretty... no! NO! GET AWAY!

Something about super aids and a c***. Paradox is a real classy guy.

Why gif when you can just flash the entire site?

FLASHING and SCROLLING text is a must too. Think about the WOW factor and how the site will POP!

It's not 2.0 enough. Can you add some lensflare?

one of the sites i could still use with a 56kbps without banging my head too much.

Maybe I'm just afraid of change and the Listnook layout is my lawn, but I think it's great. Anything too over the top and I couldn't get away with using Listnook at work.

Simple, yes. But what exactly is elegant about it? The phrase "simple and elegant" seems to be used these days to refer to a design that's simple, but the user has grown used to it. So I'm curious what about the design you find to be elegant.

the design concept is good, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be improved. design doesn't just have to be about adding shiny shit. listnook's design is very inconsistent, the submit pages and whatnot don't really look like the front page except for the colour scheme. the comments/related/other discussion tabs up top are pretty ugly. just little things like that could definitely use a real designer's touch.

Close your parentheses, young man!

I'm not much of a fan of that at all, to be honest. I used to be a web designer, though many years ago, so my opinion is neither intentionally mean nor of any value to (other)Jeff. :) That said, if I got a vote, I would strike the *nein* box.

Listnook user writing a response under a jedberg hoping he'll get some residual upvotes.

A rather crude overreaction that you wouldn't even know if search is fixed because you're too busy f****** whining about it.

Don't judge a book by its cover Remorsefully thinkking: God, I think this was the best comment I made today and no one will see it down here :(

No chance that offloading design work could allow the current admins to spend more time on engineering, and less time on designing? Or that a decent portion of marketing involves artistic elements?

Something about how you guys are a bunch of whiners, that will probably be downvoted at first, even though everybody comes to the same conclusion the very next day.

Why does not she get involved with the community?

Since the donation I don't remember any crash, they fixed the search, bought some new servers, new functions for gold members (and non-gold members also, since you can sort the goldmembers comments/submissions too), etc. They already have a salesperson, who is trying to sell ads. And I don't think that they hired Jeff as a full time employee, since there isn't too much designable element on listnook (without some fundamental changes in functionality). But there are people who always cry, no matter what. I don't get it. Things change, just get over it.

When are people going to wake up to this "we're so hip and not like the rest of the corporate world" bollocks. They asked for donations. They got donations. They're spending money on the absolute last thing the site needs right now. It doesn't matter how "nice" someone is, whether they use circle-jerk pleasing Portal references in the press releases, or even tattoo their announcements across the ass of Zooey f****** Deschanel. There are two fundamental problems with listnook: * It fucks up royally, and increasingly regularly when under heavy load **(engineering)** * They can't generate enough revenue through advertising to pay its way **(sales)** So what do they do? Hire a **designer** and think it's going to fly because they make some lame joke about him designing his own avatar. Design is about the only thing that the "community" is generally happy with right now and doesn't need changing. People like the simple, minimalist look and don't want another javascript abomination like Digg. It would be fine if they were killing their own business, but now that they've suckered 9,000 people into donating money (or whatever the current figure is) I'd expect a bit more recognition of where that money needs to be spent. We've been told they can't hire anyone new and need donations, and suddenly after donations flood in, here's a new hire. So one can only conclude that it's the donation money they're using for this. It's this kind of nonsense that would make me never donate to this company.

I'm curious. Tell me more.

I 100% agree, this guys an a******.

From pédéraste/Pederasty in english (greek origin related) then pédé, then pd. I read in wikipedia that pederasty is an older with a teenager or a young boy. But in France we say pd for gay not for gay+pedophile.

We need to make it pop!
