Hi!
You are the webmaster of Evil-Shmevil / www.evil-shmevil.com
/ www.residentevil.net
aren't you?
I'm the webmaster of Evil Shmevil, yes.
---
Tell me a little bit about yourself:
What's your right name, where are you from and how old are you?
My name is Robin Donaldson, i'm 15 and from Scotland.
---
Ok!
Have you done the site by your own or have you members who helped you?
My last site, www.residentevil.net
, was completely my own work. My new site wouldn't be here without the help of my good friend, Jeremy MacArthur. Right now there are only 2 staff members, sadly Jeremy left.
---
I see.
Have you taken pics from other sites without asking?
Ok, i'll admit that in previous years i have stolen... badly. E-Shmevil is a new project, and i'm not going to ruin a rep. by stealing. The answer is no.
---
What do you think of taking pics, info and other stuff from websites without asking for permission?
I think these people are only cheating themselves. They think they can build a site on lies, but they soon realize that ou can only go so far with stealing - eventually they have to give up or clean up their act.
---
OK.
Some questions about your site:
Why do you call your Site Evil - Shmevil?
I wont go into this one much, but it is a stupid name... Most of the really successful sites have stupid names, Yahoo, Bla Bla and so on.
---
Where are you hosted and why?
I'm hosted with Bla Bla, because i want to be amongst the best sites on the 'net, have good hosting facilities, be on a great team and be appreciated for my potential.
---
When did you started working on your site and why? Can you give me the date of the day you started?
I started working on my new site around March... No precise date. The reason i started my first site was that i was so sick of not having one site for Resident Evil which was half decent. My new site was created to expand out of this one series and into the whole genre.
---
ahhh!
Which programs do you use (and your members of course) to create your site?
I'm using Dreamweaver 3.0 to do the HTML of the site, but i'm actually moving on to hand coding the site for ease of use and faster loading times. For graphics i use Paint Shop Pro 7 and Fireworks 3.0. Two top class programs
---
Are you going to do some new things at Evil - Shmevil?
For sure. It's going to be more reviewing but we're using the first two months to get into business, so to speak. In our first month we've set up a new host, got 500 people per day, got some nice coverage out, nice design but the future holds a lot more. Be sure of that.
---
OK. Now some info about other RE Sites:
What do you think of the popular sites? I mean BIOHAZARDextreme, A new Blood, The Right Game and so on...
BIOHAZARDextreme - R@MMY was quite a cool guy but i feel he has let his site go...
New Blood - Liquid is always 'live and kickin' isn't he? He does a great job and puts many hours into his site. Can't wait for New Blood 7... or 8 or whatever the next one is...
TRG - Ozon is an ass. Simple. He steals, his site sucks, his graphics are a mess and he thinks TRG rules.
---
What's your favourite RE Site?
Em, it would have to be New Blood. Sorry to all the other sites but i think Liquid tries really hard, he isn't an ass, he wants to help, he is so active in the community, he always makes time, he has some great content. Plus NB 7 looks ace.
---
What do you think of Resident Evil Sitez?
Good utility. I use it nearly everyday, if i want to find a Resi' Evil site, i just pop into RES and click the appropiate button/banner/link.
---
What do you think of BIOHAZARD - HardCore?
I actually haven't been to the site in a long time, but i from what i see now it looks a lot nicer. There is a lot more content and better graphics. I like the two languages option.
---
Thx!
A lot of new sites using Flash and other animation programs.
What do you think of it? Will you use it too in the future?
What's the big deal about Flash? No i wont use it. I can actually use the program quite well, and used to make animated gifs and such with it, but bandwidth heavy, long loading facy animations aren't my thing.
---
That's right!
Which do you prefer:
1.Long loading times, cool pics but no good info.
2.Short loading times, no good pics but great info.
3.Long loading times, cool pics and great info.
I'd have to go with # 3 as long as the loading times aren't massive.
---
OK. Thanks for your time!
Keep up the good work on your site!
We'll post it A.S.A.P.
final comment:
I just want to say to anyone out there with a Resident Evil site. Don't steal, work on your graphics and most importantly, get some good info out there. Do this and soon your site will be pulled out of the Geocities hell
hole and put into a good server where you will receive cash. That's the way i did it :)
