Aqua Emulation Returns

Alright you guys, after many server problems we've finally got them fixed. And the website is up and running! The downloads section isn't quite finished yet, but it should be within the next couple days.

We also re-created our forums:

http://www.aqua-emulation.com/phpbb

Any comments would be great!

Thanks.

-Aqua Emulation Team.

No offense to anyone out there, but at chill entertainments site said that they made a state of the art navigation system, and a unique downloads section. I go to the site, and see a rip off of apple's navigation system (with the wrong fonts), and the downloads section looks in some ways like a rip of osx-e's, even some images are stolen.

You wouldnt want apple's lawers knocking on your door for stealing their site design.

I looked at some of their other projects, and even at their own site, and it looks like they are a little overzealous. They use pretty much the same forum style on all their sites, they leave some pages empty and missing.

For those in chill entertainment, build your skills a little more, and have diversity in your projects (the Aqua emulation sig and the chill emulation logo look awful similar.

Apple gave me permission to use the images from the Apple website. They said I can do anything I want; as long as it is pro-Apple.

I didn't steal osx-e's images. Please supply proof.

Thank you for the feedback.

#381122

Your site's quite clean with a nice combination of brushed & aqua elements. If you've indeed received the support of the graphics utilized, more power to you & congratulations on a nice looking site.

edit: d@mn uuuuu puppy lovin' scamp!!!!

Vat is "chill entertainment" xD is that a new euphemism for Aqua wanna-be websites? :P

#381124

That is the company that said they made his site.

Here is proof of the osx-e image steal:

Not too bad, but similar.

@PaintBall:

Man, if I get banned from here to say this, It's ok I dont really care... but... YOUR SITE SUCKS.

#381180

I would say... there is nothing wrong is emulating... but please for apple's sake, use right font and get finesse in that website.

I usually doesn't use Harsh comments.. not my style.. but consider this as a mild version of what Khalua said.

(Thanks Khalua).

... and what Paradox said..

I told you. I don't steal images when I don't have permission.

See, I was looking for something useful. If you even thought about taking the time to post only to insult me, then it is you that has the problem here buddy.

Here's what I'm looking for. Thanks, man.

Thanks, dude!

Sorry but I have to support Khalua on this one...to put it in more sophisticated words: your design is a terrible mix of brushed, aqua, old metal buttons, awful shadows (downloads section), terrible font styling (I was shocked when I saw FlyakiteOSX 3 teaser image), non-aqua icons (RSS), ugly, pixelated fonts on top buttons, typos in forums (site onwer, site adminisrator), jagged color transitions in Finder icon on forums header - I could go on for hours....man...Apple should pull your site down because what you did there insults their style and care for details. Your design looks like something thrown together really quickly without any thinking. I'm sorry but Khaula was right: it sucks big time.

And remember: this critique isn't pointed towards you, it's against what you did. Nothing personal :)

#381384

yay! Pe8er rulz! muahahaahahaha.

#381457

Okay, look. I'm only one guy. It's hard juggling school and this website.

Would anyone like to help?

if you do not have time, don't do it lol.

Nobody asking you to create a website. And, your website is designed by your Web Design company Chill Entertertainment right? So as a web design company, you should't ask people help to design your website. This is constructive criticism, hope you accept it

And one more thing, the forum skin is not created by you or your web design company. You should leave a credit to the original author http://www.realdealstubblefield.com/demo/i...p?s=Macinscott2

#381463

no offence but we dont need another emulation site....the people one the net will release things on one forum and not on another....and aqua emu will get diluted and less concentrated....this i think will eventually kill aqua emulation....(thats if apple doesnt do it first)

#381540

Apple "gave you permission"?

Hahahaahaha

#381583

we have this laugh before unbe, but it is a good joke, so lets laugh again

bwhaaa

#381599

The more the merrier, I say. You have to remember that there's a lot of different aqua-modifying people out there, with different needs and preferences. I honestly don't believe that Aqua-Soft can cater for all these people. But that's just my oppinion.

#381603

most everything has been said in this thread.. the only thing left to do is laugh...

oh btw go to chillentertainment.com

#381760

Ha, you guys crap me up.

chillentertainment.com wasn't maybe by me. It was a project a friend of mine worked on.

But, yea, go there, drive up the Traffic Rank, thanks. :)
