I almost never visit this site but just went for shits and giggles. I don't know when this happened but SpyMac must be the most horribly designed Mac website on the web. Totally cluttered with tons of useless information and intrusive banner ads.
http://www.spymac.com/
Looks like it was put together but some eurotrash teenager.
Oh and a drunk one at that

I think the design there is an accurate representation of the quality of posts since most seem to be stoned/drunk/retarded eurotrash kiddies anyway.

While I wish MacNN would upgrade this forum a little, I would rather stick to the quasi-outdated current version as compared to the "graphic designer on steroids" theme going on over there.

You can most likely bet your hindquarters that none of the people involved in designing that site are old enough to legally consume alcohol.

I mean those giant buttons on the side are ridiculous. So is the digest of forum topics all over the place.
The site seems more oriented around creating hype. The iWalk for one and than that stupid movie trailer they put out for the launch of their new site.

T'was a reference to the legal drinking age in many European countries - but I don't really feel like explaining/typing tonight.

yeah, spymac sucks as a forum, but the free webhost has revolutionized my forum experience. 100mb max upload, seemingly unlimited storage size.
i have about 700mb of stuff on my spydisk and have never gotten anything about bandwidth usage.
how do they afford themselves?

by clever design meant to insure maximum publicity for their banner ads.

One word: "yuck!"
One impression: "horrible."
One lasting thought: "never, ever use, or even visit that site again."
Yep, web design sure does have results! And it looks like those results are pretty consistent here.

I remember registering to post & make fun of the iWalk, but I think they deleted my posts or restarted the forums from scratch since then.
Anyway, yeah, bunch of crackheads.

And other places in Europe, the legal drinking age is 18 - with quite a lot of car accidents to follow
