Themes.org Reborn at Freshmeat

Posted by timothy on from the stick-candy-in-your-eye dept.

GSpot writes: "While doing my weekly surf to see if there has been any change in one of my favorite websites, themes.org is being redirected to themes.freshmeat.net and seemingly has been reborn yet again. The previous incarnation had a dreadful interface that was difficult to navigate and when it worked it was painfully sssssllllllooooowwwww. The current version is upon a first impression a much more pleasant experience. I plan on visiting often." Mirotrem points out this brief history of themes.org running on the site (written by Chris D.), detailing the moves the site has made to this point.

    What, didn't like "Fetching Rover", or voting with marbles? How about The Scooter? Scooter? WTF?

    To think this was a site to make "X Purty" - MS Bob is laughing at us from the grave.

  3. Bah, bring back the old themes.org by G00F · · Score: 3, Funny

    What was wrong with the old themes.org? sure, do a rewrite, but keep it basicaly the same. Right now, I don't liek the freshmeat one for several reasons, 1, opening windows and taking away broswer compoments, like url bar?? grrr

    Ya ya, I can easily enough get arround that. But still, what was wrong with the old site? It was painfully obvious no one liked the new, why couldn't they just reverted and used some brains on how to make that one better.

    ...but the logo looks like a scrotum (my girlfriend remarked on this as well). Actually, the core reason was that there was such slim pickings on the site but visiting it from this link I see they've actually started fleshing out the offerings.

    Gotta do something about that logo, though, before those image recognition filters block the site from my companies proxy ;)

    Dude, I am not sure what language you're using, but I think if horse=="alive" you're gonna core. You might want to rethink your logic.
