hi guys. i thought this thread would never get comments from you guys.

it's been a month since i first posted it.

anyway, on to your comments:

I love that website! I'm an SCQ Fan! Do you have a picture of Theo? Anyways, how did you register at uni.cc and use it here, trap17? Mine, karlo.uni.cc isn't working yet. DNS resolving issue...5 days ago... still, right now, DNS haven't resolved yet sad.gif Anyways, how did you create that website? Please help me.
glad you love it karlo.

in the service of the filipino... worldwide.

there are pics of
theo in the gallery section. RE:uni.cc - it's my primary (sub)domain, i don't have a
trap17 subdomain. in the pioneering days of trap17, we were all given uni.cc's. you
can have your trap17 changed to a uni.cc, i suppose, if you request an admin for it. i
simply used a content management system for my site. there are several CMS addon
scripts provided in the control panel, you may want to try which one you like best.

Well, I visited your site -wich looks pretty nice- and have some questions; 1) I don't think it's allowed to use the logo of the tv station on a not affiliated website. Although it's obvious it isn't the official site, you can't be to carefull... 2) Why the huge gray 'banner-thing' at the bottom of the page when there's already a orange 'banner-thing' at the right side with adverts? It takes up much space that's useless to the visitor ... and it's not like this website costs you anything, right wink.gif (I could be wrong here smile.gif ). 3) Why does the visitor has to register to view the forum and the gallery. This is something I always get irritated about.
thanks Roahl

to answer your questions:
1) it's a fan site, and by fair use practice, and to identify the rightful producer of the
said show, i included the company logo prominently.

don't worry, it's been a widely
popular site now, and if ever i get into trouble, i should have by now, since the site
includes membership from people within the said company.

and as boycradle
mentioned, a disclaimer is in place in every page.

2) the 3-column strip for the index page is simply to delineate content i want to
appear on the site. content may be useless to some, but it is useful to most visitors i
have. and the site is optimized to be viewed with a 1024x768 resolution (i know MOST
of my visitors use this resolution) so no problem there with respect to space concerns. it would be more bare to see (and a lot of more wasted space), if i used
a 2-column strip. nevertheless, i can change it anytime to a 2-column or 3-column
page whenever i want since i use a CMS template.

the google adsense ad, i placed
there so i can get indexed by googlebot.

as for the bottom gray area, it's where
i am helping trap17 by placing ads there [root admin, do you suppose i can get more
bandwidth than what i currently have now?

]. and so as not to waste space in this
bottom gray area as well, i placed my site counter there, plus a "vote for my site"
graphic (which can be a bragging right when the site gets enough votes).

3) i required membership registration for sections like forum and gallery because i
want it to be a close-knit community. it's primarily a fan site, so fans should have no
problems registering if they want. also, i can manage the site better by requiring
membership since sites like this can go haywire with a lot of bandwidth used if no
membership is in place. i'm limited to a 3GB bandwidth so unless a visitor is really
a fan of the show, then i can save on bandwidth by limiting the sections accessed.

i hope i have answered your questions guys.

and thanks to everyone in this thread.
