Here are some fake FAQ that was made just to avoid
as many e-mail reading as possible.
- General questions
- Ad Generator
- How We Do It
General questions:
Q: Can I join your staff?
A: How do I say this without being rude?... Don't call us,
we'll call you.
Q: Can I get hosted?
A: (See previous response)
Q: Can I submit stuff to your site and get
recognition as well as a plug to my site when it gets posted?
A: NOW YOU'RE TALKIN'.
Q: I'd like to request some content without
resorting to email.
A: That's what the forum
is for, silly.
Q: What's with the crossed out sections?
A: They're not done.
Q: How long as NES City been around?
A: NESCity.com has been around since late December 2003, but
the two sites who formed it have a lot more history than that.
The Ad Generator:
The ad generator, in case you don't know, is the box in the menu
on the left that displays a random ad with each reload. That said,
here are some made-up FAQ about it because I was bored when I
wrote this page and decided to kill time by writing this out.
Q: How does the ad generator work?
A: The ad generator works with JavaScript, although in the
future I'd like to change this since some browsers don't support
JavaScript or have it turned off. I've placed all of the ads in a
folder and have the JavaScript fetch out a random ad on each
reload.
Q: I don't know any JavaScript, any chance you
could give me the code?
A: Certainly, it's a rather simple code that can be found on
JavaScript websites everywhere. But since most of them request you
put a line of credit on there (which is bull, the programmers
think it's their child and just want to see their name on the
web), I won't link you to them. Instead I'll just post it right
here and now and you don't have to put a thing on the code and
just claim you knew Java all along. You sly boots:
-------------------------------------------
<script LANGUAGE="Javascript"><!--
function banner() {
};
banner = new banner();
number = 0;
// bannerArray
banner[number++] = "<a href='PUT LINK HERE'
target='_blank'><img src='PUT PICTURE SOURCE HERE'
border='0'></a>"
increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number);
document.write(banner[increment]);
//--></SCRIPT>
--------------------------------------------
If you're using a WYSIWYG editor, be sure not to
copy and paste that code directly into the HTML. Instead, I
recommend you open the file with NotePad and paste it in there. If
you don't know what you're doing or what the hell I'm talking
about, I guess I should just say to make sure the yellow text on
this page looks exactly like it does in your HTML.
Q: Can...Can I use your ads?
A: Yes, but I must request you don't link directly to them so
I can keep my bandwidth; instead, right click the ad and select
"Save picture as..." and save it to your computer. And
by the way, if I catch you linking directly to my pictures I will
move them to a new address and your site will look totally
retarded (Unless it's a site all about the magnificent red 'x'!)
Q: I'd like to advertise my site in your ad
generator, how do I go about this?
A: If your site's been up for more than three months, is all
about the NES, and totally rocks your socks (my socks do not have
to be rocked, mind you), click
here to learn more about how to request to be advertised.
Q: My site isn't NES related, but I noticed you
have ads for non-NES sites on your site; is there any chance you
might be able to place my 88 x 31 ad on your site?
A: Nope. You're lucky I put this FAQ up too. Just asking me to
do so would totally ruin your chances.
How It's Done
Q: What programs do you use?
A: NES Monster uses Photoshop 6, ImageReady, Flash 5.0, Bryce,
and FrontPage. Weird-Edsel uses PaintShop Pro and notepad.
Q: Any chance I can get a tutorial?
A: Sure, just contact NES Monster.
