Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. It still is in it's very early stages and I am throwing things up there and experimenting with many different looks.

I do want this site to be "very well designed", but I also want it to have that humor that O&A are well known for. I've only worked on this site for a matter of a few hours, and there are so many things that need to be organized to bring the other pages together nicely.

The people on this board can see the site's potential, and your comments have inspired me to make it better. I'll take the negative words with a grain of salt, and work even harder to make those negative people have to eat their words.

Thanks again, guys, for all the great comments! :cool:

Thanks Ed,

I was originally just going to make it go to "Disney.com" then it brought me to this "Disney map". So I clicked around and found that PB&J story, and thought... how perfect is that... it was pure destiny!!! :bigok

I really want to make this site rock with as much input as I can get. Anyone with any ideas... either email me or click on that chat icon and post them in the chat area. I am working on getting those aggravating pop-up ads removed, but Ed you know how it is when you use FREE geocities (type) websites... if you don't pay the extra money your visitors are hounded with ads.

Slowly but surely, this site is going to very wild... watch how it grows! :biggrinfl

[ResinIII]

Sweet!Great job Paul!Looking foward to see how the site's going to end up.

Thanks for the great feedback, Wackadoo!

Yeah... that chat feature is more like a running guestbook than an actual chat area. It saves what people have written, but it would be extremely rare to find two people actually chatting there at one time.

I also found that you cannot use the (&) symbol for some reason. Even in making the pages, I have to replace "O&A" with the letters "OnA" because everything typed after the "&" symbol is wiped away. It must be an HTML code or something that throws a monkey wrench into the Flash code. Either way, when using that chat area... stay away from using the "&" symbol.

Thanks again for stopping by the site, and if anyone has any cool suggestions, feel free to post them in the chat area. This page is supposed to be a group effort from the entire OnA community. So the more input from everyone... the better... or "more gooder"! :bigok

You can type as much as you want, even a paragraph, but it will end as soon as you type the "&" symbol!

Here is what you typed in chat...

wackadoo :: why would someone who hates O

Obviously you went on to say "O&A" but it ended the sentence at "O" because everything after the "&" was not placed on the page. Stay away from the "&" symbol and you can type as much as you want!

Well designed site?!?! you just used a cookie cutter site. You just used a template and changed the text. Very original...

Is that you again, "Bah"?

I never claimed to be a master at flash... but sometimes those premixed Pillsbury cookie dough cookies taste pretty good when you don't have time to make them from scratch. ;)

I'm not trying to act like this is something that was of my own creation. Everybody understands it is a free geocities type of site that uses templates for easy page design. There seems to be only one person trying to pull this curtain aside and show what the "great and powerful oz" is all about. I'll be the first to admit this was the easiest page I ever came up with.

I actually got this idea of using this "cookie cutter site" from a new fan of the show. She posted something on one of the message boards and included some information about Opie and Anthony on her website. The thing that was so special about this person was that she was from England. Her only exposure to the show was files of the O&A show from the internet after they were cancelled. Her fresh enthusiasm for the show gave me inspiration, and seeing how she added it to her cookie cutter flash page made me want to do the same.

So, yes I looked into this easy flashbuilder site to create something totally dedicated to O&A. Fedexed has worked the free geocities pages for sometime, and was able to upload shows using multiple geocities account so it would not cost him anything. I commend ingenuity like that... but some seem to want to criticize it... not fast enough... the site becomes overwhelmed to easily and not accessable during key hours... and so on.

We all don't have unlimited funds we can spend on expensive flash software, or create special domains with unlimited space to put these creations on. We do what we can with what we have available. We work the free system the best way we can. The more this one person tries to flag me for this, the more foolish that person is looking to the entire O&A community.

If you take shots at this page... your taking shots at the spirit of the entire O&A community. Your shots are being stopped in mid-air, my friend! :cool:

You need to calm your nuts gamedev...

It takes a great deal of time to create and maintain a website.

Some people learn from books, others from teachers, I learn by looking at other people's code, modifing it and seeing what it does. Then I take what I learn and create my own program.

Good job BPaul... keep spreading the virus!

I think the site is very cool, and I commend Paul for his hard work. He did the best he could with the resources he had available. The whole community should support his efforts, instead of knocking the site. btw can I steal the Neo Pic for a sig? ;)

[Gamedev]

I just feel you should give credit where credit is due. You get all these comments about how great your site "looks" when in fact you had nothing to do with the design. Maybe tell people how to create their own site using the flashbuilder.

[MACE]

Sounds like somebody is jealous...

Thank you Mace,

Coming from you, that is quite the compliment. I have always loved your site, and it is one of the reason I took an interest in flash to begin with. I repect the words from someone who actually created a great flash website, and not someone who just takes shots at other peoples work. You truly are a class act, Mace!

Your words are all I need! :cool:

( Thanks, also, to you SpotcheckBilly for the kind words... and yes you can use that Neo pic for your signature file, but you better scale it down first ;) )

[SpotcheckBilly]

"Bop now it's mine!" Pay no attention to the negative nabobs..and thanks for you're efforts. They are appreciated. ;)

[Joe Orthex]

I had a geocities site, and after O&A where taken away I used that geocities site. Put up stuff. Kept it going for a good while. I used it cause it gave me free space and a chance to share. (It's mostly still up by the way (http://www.geocities.com/madmaxxy13/index.html), and here (http://www.geocities.com/fansofopieandanthony01/archive.html) )
I used basic HTML on the site cause it was what I knew. If I had known about them cookie cutters, I would have used them too. what's wrong with using a cookie cutter program? Hell, I am trying to figure out how to use one now.

Bottem line, before you can bitch about an O&A fan, or anyone make sure you can do better yourself. Can we see your site?

Or as Mike Tyson would say "Let ye who is with out sin take the first stone and smash it on that pussies head"

nuff said

PS---Paul, if that's a geocities cookie cutter you got to point me in that direction.

Ed,

Like I said, when I saw a post from a girl from England, and she said she included it on her "simple" flash builder page it made me want to go to the main site and look into it.

What I found was something very similar to geocities. You just have to click a "sign up" button and they have you fill in your "First Name", "Last Name", and "Email address". The email address must be a valid one because they send your logon info there. Then hit the "Register" button, and they should ask you for a "Logon name" and "password". The logon name will become part of the web address, so choose it wisely. My logon name was "Onatrix" which determined the name of the page.

So, there you go Ed, or anyone else that wants to take a crack at it. Just go to this main website and click on the proper sign up pages to cook yourself up some fresh "cookie cutter" flash pages that will surely piss off at least one person in our O&A community...

There you go "Gamedev",

I didn't realize it was my job to tell people how to create their own site using flashbuilder, but there you go, anyway. What other reasons will you come up in the future to slam my site or me, personally?

It's funny, I have a good friend who is a graphic artist, and he runs his own home theater specialty business. He checked out the site, and it gave him some inspiration to start working with flash, himself. He creates special productions and he is working on a very special opening for me and the Onatrix site.

There are people who will look at something, and draw ideas from it and want to help make it better. Then there are others, for some reason, become offended by anyone else coming up with an idea. They want to tear it apart with every negative remark they can come up with.

I am going to continue making this site better, and with the help from my friends who don't have a problem sharing their knowlege and material, this is truly going to be an amazing site to visit.

Ed has already sent me some great new material, and as soon as I get my DSL connection up and running again, I will add it to the Onatrix. Thanks again, Ed, for taking part in this, and not letting your ego get in the way... (like some people). :bigok

For me Ego dose play a part in it, I will not lie. But the overall goal, the thing that got me started, and has kept me going, and pushes me forward has been, is and shall be sharing what I can.
In the past others have helped me. To repay the help I received I will help others as best as I can.
Buffalo Paul is doing what he can with what he has. So I am not gonna knock him, or anyone.

And if anyone can make me a cookie cutter main page with some flash….would be nice.
;)

[gasbuddah]

Paul,

I think the site is clean, especially when you consider how cluttered some flash sites tend to be. As for the "cookie cutter" crack....WHO CARES!!! In case nobody has noticed the internet is the world's largest pile of shit with a few diamonds hidden in it. I know "webmasters" and "web design proffesionals" who can whip up a beautiful site that doesn't say anything. It's about the content, not how big your HTML hard on is. I think you've got a great start. My only suggestion is watch the clutter. Alot of sites, hell 80% of sites, become cluttered to such a point that you have no frigging clue what the point of the site is. Keep it clean and concise and you'll 'spread the virus' quicker than a gay hatian hosting a gangbang. Keep it up..

Thank you gasbuddah...

I know what you mean about content, so many sites are out there are nothing but cluttered flash with no content. I actually have people emailing me and thanking me because they said they learned something about the boys they didn't know. That's when I know I hit a home run with this site. I am continually trying to streamline the information and place things in the proper category. Reduce the clutter and put more focus on a direction I want the site to go.

I am working converting the video files I have to flash so people will only have to click on a link and be able to view a flash movie clip without having to download a zipped (mpg) file.

I am always open for suggestions, and always look for input from anyone who has time to give some. I need to change the opening page and the mission statement page to focus the entire website better.

Thanks again, gasbuddah, you truly sound like someone who know his way around websites, and to get a thumbs up from you means alot! :bigok

[PyThomas]

Awesome site, dude! Keep it up!

[gasbuddah]

Hey team!

WTF is your problem? Anything that spreads the word, or the virus, is better than nothing. Speaking of nothing: what have you done? Leave Paul alone. He's giving it a try, which is more than can be said about most of you... and you know what I mean!;)

[Joe Orthex]

As time creeps foward, and the count gose down it would be better that more site pop up then sites disappear. Anyone that starts a site is keeping the spirit alive, keeping us all going. Anyone that has anything to offer and decides a site is the best way to get the stuff out there is hardcore. There are many folks out there that are taking files, downloading bits looking for shows and all that such, but how many of you that are leaching these files are giving back?
Can't count those folks that do take files and burn them to CDs and pass them out, i know that there are a few that are out there. Won't count them folks that find a worth while site and give the addy out so maybe others can check it out. in the past 2 weeks I have passed out CDs and given out certian addies to at least 10 folks. That's 10 more people that are dragged back into the O&A army.
The more sites out there the better. So if you don't have a site, if you are not sharing what you have, if you are doing nothing but trying to put down someone that is doing all this maybe you should go to OpieandAnthony.com. (Oh wait, they were shut down for some reason).
When you (being general here) have shown that you are spreading the Virus that is O&A in a way that reaches any and everyone then please feel free to come back and talk negitivly about someone. But until then "Stay out the Bushes"!!!

[BuffaloPaul]

Thanks Gas and Ed...

I really wasn't even going to respond to this because it was such a new member making those comments. It doesn't take much to make up a logon name and take shots (weak shots at that). When you put your stuff out there on the internet, you have to expect critism. Everyone will be able to judge if it is a worthy point or not. The Onatrix theme is supposed to be just that... a Matrix style theme using the O&A news. If I had to explain that obviously "agents in suits did not come in and grab O&A"... it was done to add a creative touch to it. People are analyzing this site waaaaay too much. It is also supposed to be a bit humorous... but people want to take all the fun out of it.

Hell... I should get some kind of commission for all the new "members" I am bringing to Wackbag... I don't know if you guys keep track of that stuff, but you could be bragging about the "5,000" member in no time! ;)

[TeamUN]

hey thats just how i feel about it. being a new member shouldn't have anything to do with it, you are currently a whole 56 posts ahead of me. i like the o&a news part but it just seems a little outlandish to me, thats all bro.

[Joe Orthex]

In the spirit of O&A they were as outlandish as they could be. I loved when they took a news bit and made it as outlandish as they could, but you knew that what they were saying was not what was in the "AP". If you want facts, go to CNN.com, otherwise enjoy the outlandish news reports that folks have to offer.

[BuffaloPaul]

I know this is a VERY OLD thread, but a new XM listener recently emailed me this question...

Paul,
I'm not sure what thread I was looking at on Wackbag but I was looking at one of them and ended up on your site. I found the story of O&A's broadcast on 9/11 and since I am a new XM listener, I really wanted to hear their broadcast for the day. The link for the broadcast is not working, could you tell me where I can find and listen to that broadcast? It could very well be that I'm a complete tool and the link is not working because of my error. I'm very interested in downloading it as well so I can listen to the show again and share it with friends. Thank you for your time.


I haven't updated this site for a very long time, but am now realizing that the new listeners may be interested in this old stuff.

After that whole springtime and early summer "geocities Onatrix" audio was released, I stayed away from updating it. Even Sexbagel noticed I hadn't updated it when he finally came clean about producing those Onatrix audio files. Since the new show had started and I was doing more work on the 3D (OW) stuff, and didn't really have time to update this site.

Is it worth updating... or should I leave it as a past memory?

[Hal]

I never got to hear the 9/11 show either...

You need to download the free "Real Player" to listen to it.

Here is the link...

http://www.buffnet.net/~paulk/onatrix/OandA_09-11-01.rm (http://www.buffnet.net/%7Epaulk/onatrix/OandA_09-11-01.rm)

You can right clink on the above link and "Save Link Target As..." to download the file to your computer or just click on it if you have the "Real Player" and just want to listen to it as it streams.

[Smoke]

The 9/11 show is also up at http://oavirus.com/911/index.html if you prefer it in MP3 instead of RM.
