Is AMPUTATE YOUR HEAD ever gonna come back to GFY?
 

????

I think yes, but it will take some time :2 cents:

maybe

I miss how he made his 'reputation' online by bashing newbie designers who he felt were competition to his design skills.

Hell, if anyone can get away with charging $1100 for a site design when current prices are a fraction of that... they get my fucking respect any day. Pulling that off requires either serious talent or bullshit skills or both. :2 cents:

He never left gfy.

Both his nicks got banned. One apparently after he threw an infantile rage by posting a banned word over and over again.

I find the guy hilarious. I mean, he once posted that he has kids he's paying child support to, etc but he acts extremely immature online. Funny shit.

No.

Do you miss him ??

Yeah, I miss the unintentional comedy and occasional wisdom.

I think he is going to come back.

Do you miss the word "OWNED" being repeated mantra-like for 3 months straight?

Yeah he has had some classic moments.. but really this place isn't good for him. :2 cents:

I'm pretty sure that he's keeping an eye on the board.. That doesn't mean he's posting messages.

Actually I do miss the Comedy of AMP... like him getting OWNED repeatedly by Brad-shaw and Drew Kole. Sometimes they do get a bit overboard.... kinda like kicking the town drunk in the teeth after you've knocked him down repeatedly.

Juicy vs. AMP was fun :)

who cares

$1100 for a site design? What was it a multi page paysite? Don't tell me he charged that much for a TGP page :helpme

Agreed 100%

Wrong.

I hope not.

Exactly. :thumbsup

This place is pretty much a ghost in his past at this point.

I thought he used to say he could charge $5K for a paysite.

He used to say it was something like $3k or $5k.

I miss Amputate Your Head. :(

And for those of you bashing his design skills, might want to think about all those nice sites of Lensman's that he designed.

I think that says a lot about Amp's skills in itself. I doubt Lensman feels ripped off. :1orglaugh

:thumbsup

You get what you pay for. Prices for a good site are higher than $1100.

One my constant complains about this place in particular are the cheap fucks who won't pay
a good price for a good design.

Prices for a GOOD site can be well over 200k, depending on what all goes into it. Those tend to highly dynamic, custom sites, but the point still stands(they also tend to be mainstream sites
for places like BMW).

IMHO, designers are screwing themselves by going super cheap. Especially if your competition lives in a '3rd world' country, where the US dollar goes MUCH much further.

I don't think so....

Amp has been back for a couple of months with his new nick kak_azn. He's been acting like a total noob so no one suspects its him.

Just because you can't afford a site design by a true professional with the amount of money you make from your fucking sig, does not mean they are over priced. You morons think that $1100.00 is alot for a site design? Obviously, you have no concept of the amount of time and effort it takes to develop a REAL site worth putting up, and are used to paying for half-ass, 3rd world designers would couldn't design a site to sell a dollar for a penny.

Recess is over.
:glugglug

At that price it better convert 1:100 like fucking clockwork :helpme

You raise a good point. However, your point is limited to very big mainstream corporate sites who's design is part of a larger ad/brand management campaign. This incorporates a wide interdisciplinary approach (focus groups, targetted psychological profiling, consumer behavior indexing, etc etc) aggregated into one comprehensive marketing campaign. This involves a huge amount of statistically verified testing. Taken as a whole, these campaigns cost hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions.

This situation is light years removed from charging an arm and a leg for a site who's conversion potential, branding capabilities, and campaign scalability are anyone's guess.:2 cents:

Sometimes being cheap at first is a good policy to take considering that you will be investing more later IF the test pans out.

Isn't GFY set up now that you have to be logged in to even view the board?

No one can leave gfy. Its just not possible.

Voodoo what is the highest profile site you have designed and the one that makes the most money per month?

Anyone know if Mike Wylde is available for some work?

Everyone has a 2nd nick

he's very good :2 cents:

I guess he'll be back but he needs to controll himself a little.
