...I guess I should think of it as an opportunity to contribute to the group but it just seems like a giant warning sign. =/

my problem is that when i'm job hunting, and i come across a website that looks godawful, i immediately write off the group as scallywags and can't take anything they say seriously. speaking in general terms, i always think: "this is the public face of your organization, and you can't even make it load properly or look decent?? then why should i join your group??"

homodachi: What society do you represent?

SWE PN chapter: What? What? Wh - ?

homodachi: "What" ain't no society I've ever heard of. They code proper HTML in What?

SWE PN chapter: What?

SWE PN chapter: Yes! Yes!

homodachi: Then you know what I'm sayin'!

SWE PN chapter: Yes!

homodachi: Describe what proper HTML looks like!

SWE PN chapter: No!

homodachi: Then why you try to make it look godawful, SWE PN chapter?

SWE PN chapter: I didn't.

homodachi: Yes you did. Yes you did, SWE PN chapter. You tried to make it look godawful. And web visitors don't like to see godawful sites, except for MySpace.
