I don't mind that it's less graphics intensive as that just means it's easier to load. But the color scheme and their Gawd-awful search engine for past articles bites. That and the fact that Scotsman seems to be the only one posting articles.

Like wrestle on Jakked! I mean, if I were still in WCW, would I have been able to wrestle on Jakked, a WWF show?! I think NOT! Thank you for the opportunity, Vince! (tool)"- "The Shooter" Dean Malenko

Eh, there's a million opinions on the color scheme. You either like it or you don't - it's been very polarized. I personally like blue and yellow together, and NO, I'm not a Michigan fan.
The search engine -- it hasn't functioned as well as I'd hoped, so we're revamping it AND adding a browsable listing of shows much like the old site had. It just takes a little time because I can't really devote all my time to it and Scott doesn't know anything about SQL.

BOTTER SAID: "Eh, there's a million opinions on the color scheme. You either like it or you don't"
That's two opinions. PS I think it sucks really horrendously bad in an Emzee way especially compared to the former, (vastly) superior design done by Sean mothertrucking Shannon.
Helen Keller was largely useless, and look how we remember her.

I don't think I'd mind the yellow and blue if the field where all the articles are was inverted (black background with white text) I know black backgrounds are a web cliche but it's easier on the eyes and would make the colors show up brighter.
And thumbs up for putting the listings back up. Most of the time I've been on Smarks is to read Scott's reviews. I usually don't look for anything in particular, I just go "Hmmm, what happened in WCW in '92" and go from there. So thanks for doing that.
And on an unrelated note: Fazzle, I am a huge Jhonen Vasquez mark so your icon of GIR officially makes you the second coolest guy on the board (after Mr. Malenko of course). In your honor, I'm gonna sing the doom song.

Um. Well. I'm in Netscape at the moment, just for fun, and Netscape can't load the site at the moment...
[edit] Works in MSIE, interestingly enough...

The only things I like on the Smarks are: 1)Kieths rants-I may not always agree with his opinion, and he's damn full of himself, but I still respect his opinion as a person who has seen it all in the wrestling world (relatively).
2)The Scotsman-a quote from a recent update of his:
"In an interview with Slam Wrestling, Sid admitted he'd like to get back in the ring, and if he had it his way he'd come back as one of the "worst heels" we've ever seen. Well, he's already proved he can be one of the "worst wrestlers", so it's safe to say that he's got a leg to stand on in that argument....or does he?"
Hilarious!
"A lot of guys on this team have a lot of bark, but no bite. Guys have to just shut up and play." -- WR Keyshawn Johnson, following the playoff loss to Philadelphia
Oh, I agree on both accounts. I would just prefer if the site loaded from time to time

I think you have too high expectations from a person who has "Boob-O-Meter" as a regular feature for his recap. Actually, you should have high expectations. It's Meltzer for christ sake. Shame on you, Dave. SHAME ON YOU....
