k10k begging for $$$ ...

k10k.net

How ****ing lame!

"We need your help ...
This is rather embarassing, but toke's trusty old computer just died. A massive motherboard failure. We've looked into repairing it, but it is clear to us now that it's not worth it.

We wish we could afford to buy a new one ourselves, but we can't - we're both filthy broke, and with him being computer-less it's extremely hard for us to do any work, on K10k and otherwise...

So ... that's why we're humbly asking for YOUR help. We've been running this site for more than 4 years, and have never asked for anything before - but this is a very special case. So if you feel like donating a couple of dollars towards a new computer, please click the Paypal logo below."

the only reason i go to that site is the check out the links in the little newsfeed box.

I HATE seeing people beg for money on their websites. It is so pathetic. Even more pathetic are the suckers who send money!

I'm with Charm... They're already sponsored by MT(No offence to pank, he pays for PP :D) what else do they need? I mean, a motherboard doesn't cost a bomb, a week's job will sure cough up some dough IMO. Plus, they do have a store running.

Any designer that is worth their salt "should" have enough $$$ to afford a cheap pc. Especially with hardware prices these days.

Does nobody have a job anymore? I guess I need to quit too and ask for handouts.

That is lame.

But, while I'm here, could somebody please send me some money. It's for hookers and blow. j/k :D

but they get soooooooo many hits [even though i think their GIF obssesion is kinda worn out].. that he will fully get it.. i dont think theres any doubt of that.. dude peoples @ newstoday.com .. will take BULLETS for k10k.. and thats only one web site filled with k10k fanatics...

and yes they have a store they sel that mood application..

How can they be broke? They run the most famous design site in the world... I would think that they could get a job just about anywhere they want.

I used to be really into k10k and checked it like 30 times a day, but now it's just boring to me. All the sites look the same after a while... and all those news guys just say the same stuff after a while... gets a little boring.

Damn, I just went to the site and was, well.... lulled to sleep.

Don't get me wrong, it is nicely done, and obviously very advanced. But what is it? a newsletter? I'm still surfing through all of it, but so far, I'm just really, really not getting it.

I don't really like the way they cram 19 tons of "content" onto their homepage. Additionally, IMO, this pixel art thing has um... ummm...... *GOT TO STOP!!!*

Forgive me, I realize k10k has lots of fans here, but will someone clue me in as to why?

im with you.. they get treated like Gods..
and their website is like a place where people post links and discuss design issues and so on..

they do post some interesting links in the newsbox. well, about 1/2 of them are interesting.

i haven't really explored the site ... nothing on the homepage makes much sense to me nor does it spark my interest.

i was turned off a few weeks ago when i saw a post in the newsbox by the person who runs k10k looking for an apartment. but a splash screen beggin for money? that is too much!

if you want to beg for money and housing, get off you computer and beg on the streets with the other bums!
