Renovated JoS homepage

samyazalovatt2 min to read

I understand that the HPs are working very hard to revise old and obsolete information posted on the JoS website. This is not the only thing that needs updating. I say this with the greatest respect for HPS Pythia and her work, but the homepage of the JoS website looks well outdated and badly needs an aesthetic overhaul. Do not underestimate the importance of this. We are trying to reach as many people as possible and direct them to the website and the homepage is the first thing that people see. If the homepage looks outdated, it presents an unfavourable image of any organization. The last thing I want to do by saying this is to cause offense. I'm not questioning Pythia's skills - the exposing christianity and 666 black sun websites both look perfectly decent and as a student of computing I can tell you, for a non-technician to write that level of code is quite impressive. But, unfortunately, the fact remains that the appearance of the homepage seriously needs to be brought into the year 2014 (or at least pretty close). I know how busy the priesthood is all the time and the appearance of the site probably just got neglected due to a lack of time, which is why I thought I'd stand up and do what I can to help.

To access my redesigned version of the JoS homepage visit: http://newjoshomepage.co.uk/

If there is anything that the priesthood thinks should be changed, just tell me and I'll do it - that's fine. What I don't want is for this post to simply go unnoticed because this is very important and the redesign took a fair amount of time and effort - please don't let that all be for nothing.

The newly redesigned homepage is also a template; it would be easy for me to aesthetically renovate the entire site if I'm asked.

Another thing: when we promote the JoS online, besides saying that the site looks like it's from the 1990s, people often say that the site looks it was designed in Yahoo Geocities, which if you don't know, was a free 1990s era website builder. Some truly dreadful looking websites were built using that. You DON'T want your website to be compared to anything designed in fucking Yahoo Geocities. Seriously.

People making derogatory remarks like that is not acceptable. We need to shut those people up.

There must be more of you who agree with me, surely?

I've said this before: I'm not talking about the layout. The layout is fine. I'm talking about the overall graphical design.

Actually, I love the design! Main thing that got my attention in the first place!

Aquaprince is right. Like him, I have spent time promoting the JoS online and am frequently told that the site looks like it was designed in the 1990s and I always want to tell these people to fuck off and that their eyes aren't working properly, but I never could. Because they were right. And I'm sick of those remarks. That is what really motivated me to redesign the homepage.

Please understand that a renovated homepage (at least) would be, as Aquaprince said, a huge plus.

I'm not against the fact that your re-designing the homepage. But right now I agree that it is unnecessary as in we have more important things to be dealing with simply than an outdated homepage. I don't think we need to be shutting anyone up really. People like that, like light yagami said, are too skin deep. It doesn't seem very wise that we should be reacting to them because they won't "shut up". To me that seems more of another of the enemy's method of distracting us from our real purpose. They will use any means necessary to slow us down even, if need be, even if it is something portraying our religion in a positive light but is nevertheless irrelevant to the now. There will be a time in the future where I am sure HPS Pythia, will probably want to redecorate the website, and I'm sure considering that your so enthusiastic that she'll put you in charge of that operation. Hail Satan!!

@Zevios

I appreciate your reply, only I feel you're over thinking this issue. I got tired of people (mainly on the /x/ or paranormal board on 4chan) making shitty remarks about the appearance of the JoS site and was driven to redesign the homepage. That's it. And I doubt any of those people were affiliated with the enemy.

Perhaps you're right though. Maybe my time would have been better invested in spamming links online. Maybe there is some nostalgia in the current design of the JoS website. And yes, anyone who rebukes the JoS simply because of the graphical design of the website should just fuck off anyway.

But you said my redesign was beautiful (and I thank you for that). In that case, should it not be implemented? I understand that HPS Pythia is extremely busy, but it would only take one minute (quite literally one minute) to load the folder into web hosting software.

One more thing, I'm the last person on this planet that you would have to justify swearing to. Swearing is an important of one's life and objecting to it is just dumb; I could go on at some length about but this isn't a thread about swearing.

1)That was close to being rude

2) I understood everything he said

3) I didn't insist. I tried to convince Zevios Metathronos that implementing my design was a good idea, as I still did not see a strong reason to not do so. If you had spent hours working on something, you would want something to become of it too.

4) "Anyway the response is 'no', the website will not change."

Not your decision to make, buddy. But yes, that's quite clear to me now.

I know this is off topic to your thread so I apologize in advance but would ant of you know how to go about building a closer relationship with Father Enki? I'd also like to build a friendship with Azazel, Amon, and Anubis. Would you point me in the right direction to go about doing this please? Thank you

First, do you have clairvoyance/clairaudience? By that I mean are you able to see and/or hear astral entities?
