I recently made a post in outbound connections about the layout of thehuq.com and how impressed I am with it. There are a host other sites such as the305.com, hiphopdx, even concreteloop.com that I highly appreciate due to their modern layouts.
My problem is the site that I love to frequent because of its frequent updates.. and the possibility of getting unreleased DR tracks etc, has not changed since 2002. This is 2009, and the layout on dubcnn.com looks like it was created by the old dpgrecordz.com webmaster. Come on, nina, do something. We need something contemporary. It hurts me to have to visit this site and be presented with such backward designs.
As a avid fan of the dubcnn.com "heritage", who has been here since I think from 2000, I felt obligated to make this suggestion. Please, I beg you guys, adopt a similar, more modern, look to either thehuq.com or the305.com.
Pitch your thoughts viewers.
BTW: This is all things westcoast so it belongs in this section!!!

Site looks fine to me.
-
I looked at the huq.com and laughed.. that site looks unorganized and like a blog site.
I have no problem with the way it is now.. Dubcnn does a good job.
-
you know i see this alot (the complain bout the looks of a site)
so im jus wonderin and im not defendin anyone here but,
why does it matter what color/design a site is, when the sites here regardless?
i mean they do this for free, so it is what it is
again im not hatin jus wonderin why designs/colors etc.. matter so much?

it doesn't really. in today's age gratefulness & gratuity have greatly expired from the extent of common courtesy. motherfuckers got it backwards now-a-days!

Exactly!!!

its actually good the way its set up cuz nothin gets overlooked

There is a revamp in the works, which will add a lot of new features to the site, but the simple layout and easy navigation will stay, that's what makes dubcnn what it is. We appreciate any feedback though, good or bad. By the way, it's NiMa, not NiNa. All good though :D
-
lol he called my dude nina...
just dont do what wcrydaz did and were straight.
-
No complaints here.
-
dubcnn.com is fine: dubcc needs a new owner though
-
that thehuq site looks shitty as fuck... ducnn layout can stay or not, i dont give a fuck as long as it delivers good news 8)
-
I like the simple layout and easy navigation. It's fast and easy. I don't like websites that look like blogs. The only thing that they could change in my opinion is the color.
-
that's what makes dubcnn what it is
Agreed.
I think that this site's longevity is a reflection of how straight forward and easy to use it is.
Adding features here and there, that is of course a plus, but a total design overhaul would definitely throw the users off.

The reason they LOOK like blogs is because they ARE blogs.
All these websites popping up are just blog software with a different template. It's pretty lame and played out if you ask me. Not to mention, this "305" site or whatever it is. That's another design that you'll see more and more of, those are just CMS (Content Management Systems). There was no design or thought put into those. They simply drag and dropped what they wanted and the site creates itself. That's why there has been such a boom in Hip Hop sites this year. EVERYONE owns a site now.
Keep doing what your doing DubCNN, the originality of your design and content is what keeps people coming back. If I opened this site to see it look like a some of these gossip blogs I'd lose my mind.
-
Only improvement I can see is if they added that Hot Model of the month thing. Saw it on a west coast site (Can't remember, think it might of be WCR). Other then that I guess i can sum it up into htis "More titz plox" lol
-
Dubcnn looks fine, just needs RSS now and could use a color change. I think making the site blue and grey kind of shows bias on a west coast site.
Dubcc on the other hand could use a lot of work. I think you guys should switch over to vbulletin, all the other sites use it. This forum seems so dated to me, and stuff like the search doesn't work properly. I know you can convert other forum types into vbulletin so you guys should look into it. Hopefully whatever changes you guys have planned get put into place before Detox drops ;)
Other than that keep up the good work.

^Yep the search function should be neater.

Layout is fine and adding new features will be a cool touch, can we get an example of exactly what though?
-
Dubcc.com looks fine. Nothing I hate more than getting used to an already well laid out designed forum, to have it alter in to one of those modern dis-organized pieces of shyt known as thehuq and the rest
Only thing that would need done to modernize the forum is additional smileys, the added feature of youtube code in threads and that's about it. Maybe little bits here and there but the design is fine
-
There should be a youtube click-button and many more smileys.
-
It could be made to look a lot more West Coast style, rather then the simplistic blue. but thats vanity, it could use some more Features that most forums have.
-
Hahahha. thehuq looks wack as fuck. I shake my head that you use that site as a good example and the fact that you're impressed with the site.
I think dubcc is fine (I don't check dubcnn much though), but please don't change to vBulletin.. Please don't..
-
if it aint broke dont fix it
what matters is the content here..

Ummm, it is broke though is the problem.
-
but why is a design and a entrance of a site so important?
as if the blue carpet treatment needs to be laid before people enter the site
its a chill spot....right?
-

LOL
-
I was hoping someone would point out this Old Design problem, i guess they're informed now!
