6 Categories

I'm a bit on the moody side and I respect peoples opinions. This editorial was not intended to offend anyone but to open their eyes. The 70's were the years when sex, drugs were the fad. Now, it's business, money and love. I've read some editorials and read one that indicated that most websites forgot the meaning of "for the love of DBZ". Although sites may seem to be webpages that dedicate their work to DBZ, most of them gain profit of their website or look only to be popular because rejection in life seems to be the main theme of their life. Many of you may or may not agree with me about certain things but these are MY opinions and if you have anything to add to what I'm about to say then please reply with dignity and intelligence. Everything could be categorized into categories. I figured I'd attempt to categorize the different type of Dragon Ball sites out there. There are 6 of them, The Normal, Pure Shit , Wanna be site , Wanna be site stage 2 , Close to perfect , Close to perfect 2.

The Normal

These websites are potentially good. The layout may be great or plain but it's simple and pose no problem to the surfer. The website is slick, organized and nice. The webmaster is friendly and replies to all e-mails unless he/she receives 200 + mail in one day, which is completely understandable. The webmaster/webmistress is most likely not to care too much about his/her hits but check it from time to time. A pretty average site if you ask me.

The Pure Shit

The title speaks for itself. People want to start a website. Their first one most likely won't be a success although there are exceptions. The layout makes you want to vomit, unoriginal content is flashing everywhere and you see the " please vote for me if you want more multimedia. More votes = more work ". Some of these site have some bit of intelligence and don't add background music. These type of websites have room for improvement and it's how most people start out.

The Wanna be site

These DBZ sites look great at first but once you get to know the webmaster(s) and the site better , you will want to run away. These are the type of websites that wants to have it all. DBZ information, multimedia, humor and anything that's everything. If they see a certain thing is becoming popular on a website, they will try to do something of the same nature but better. I did say TRY. The webmaster usually says he'll have THIS up by then but makes up an excuse when the due date arrives. Why didn't I say webmistresses ? I honestly find that girls aren't greedy, they are fun loving and some of them, bitchy. They don't rip off anyone unless they are younger then 10 years old.

The Wanna be site Stage 2

These type of sites are exactly like the original "wanna be site" with the exception of a couple of things. They actually do have a lot of stuff but are mostly unorganized. For example, they have an information section. Under that section you see a long long list of information. They try to make as much pages as they can. Some of them are repetitive but the more the better. Why ? If you examine carefully, 99% of these type of sites have joined top sites that count each visitor and hits. By having a lot of sections, people want to check what it is and most probably will be disappointed. By visiting 10 pages, the visitor gave the site 10 more hits on the top site. These people care about the popularity of their site and themselves. They crave for more hits and they want to be everyone's number one. They will most probably copy something from other sites and claim it as their own. They would copy another sites work and edit it a little bit to make it look like theirs. These are the type of webmasters that I literally want to destroy.

Close to perfect

These websites are original and have lots to offer. No copied content and the webmaster/webmistress MIGHT be obsessed about the popularity and hits but it is not likely. The only cons about these type of sites is one simple thing. The webmaster. The webmaster is full of himself and although he may not think it, he ranks himself in another level, a superior level. These people are the Vegeta's of websites. They don't like much people and they usually want to ban with people who own popular sites and share their same point of view. They don't want anything to do with small sites and they enjoy the spotlight. They are hard working people but their personality could prove a problem.

Close to perfect 2

These websites are a mixture of " Normal " and " Close to perfect 1 " websites. These websites are almost perfect but have one problem. Too much people love them. It's quite difficult to get in contact with them unless you meet these people in real life. They are packed with e-mails and they try to answer as much as they can. They love DBZ and their site is truly for the fans enjoyment. It is just hard to communicate with them but it isn't their fault. Respected, adored but hard to get a hold of.

These are the general type of DBZ sites I've grown to love and hate. If you don't find yourselves in one of these categories, please by all means e-mail me right away. It's not okay if you copy someone's work, edit it and take it as your own without the permission of the author. The popularity can get into someone's head sometimes and make them an evil person. Being popular can change your outlook on certain things and make you seem like a bad person. I leave you with a quote from Final Fantasy 9.
