I was goofing around on Themeforest today and found this:

That made my day. I had a big smile when I saw that and I guess we all have to thank Lance for this! :smitten:

You just started a loonnnggg thread I guess. And we all know AD losing a lot of rates lately. You can see AD is now like a small “button” under TF menu. TF tries to get AD’s rate back but.. Its not like that. Bad policy and lots of mistakes brought AD here.

I just see it as negative advertisement. Sounds something like “Never ever go into activeden, because we say flash is dead, if you didn’t thought like that already ”.

Wow, how difficult it is to write a decent / straightforward ad slogan :(

Will anyone introduce themself as “I am who just didn’t fell down on the floor today” ?

Anyway, too many absurd things to point which can lead to think our self criticizing everything. Better to close my eyes :D

I’m aware of that. I’m not hoping to see AD shine like the good old times, that’s not possible even if Envato would invest millions. I wanted just to let everybody know that this place is not forgotten and there is still something going on. TF is bringing some more traffic, at least it’s what I see in my analytics.

Hmmm, let’s see—in the menu, they have Flash Templates below PSD Templates. So, basically, they feel that a picture of a site is more relevant than a fully functional Flash site.

AD dont need to spend millions. But need to change a lot of things. I was keep saying that for more than one year. Flash wont lose againts to iSeries. So don’t tell me its because of iSomewhat. If flash is HiTech 3d TV iSomething is a cave without electric. Old old technology.

It’s all about popularity. When you made a lot of people upset they stop visiting you. and you lost popularity. And when people see something else is shining (such as HTML 5 which is simply “nothing”) they change their view and say “long live new king”.. You need to focus on workers and customers NOT the work itself. To focus only to “work” idea as marketting was crashed at 70’s.
