The Qhimm parody site is at http://www.qhimm.cjb.net/ . Go check it out. And Qhimm, please don't yell at me. Lol. I just love your site so much, I needed to parody it.
Another weird parody is at http://www.yankovic.org/ . It is a parody of Yahoo! :)

I don't mind parody, as long as you keep a very clear distinction of what is parody and what is real. That site has mixed material and even links back to my own site on several places. We wouldn't want visitors to associate your site as Qhimm's own, would we?
Which brings me to the next topic. You seem to have reversed the names at the bottom, you cannot claim general copyright since you based it off my original site without explicit permission from me. A more extensive copyright notice is in order, as it looks now you are the creator and I just made a little parody page.
I'm not terribly bothered by it, but it's best done right.

oh.. its by itanium.... my bad.misread that one.

Sorry about that. I am changing it now...
-
yankovic.org doesnt look like a parody of yahoo to me..... go to yourmom.com thats a parody of yahoo
-
But Yankovic.org looks almost exactly like yahoo. Yourmom.com looks like yahoo but smaller and kinda butchered. I like to keep the layout pretty much the same when making a parody.
My bad. I had the wrong address. Click on the link again.

Now...what didi they call sites like this who respect the originals? Ah~ yes. They are called mirror sites.
But this is very funny.... :laugh:
-
Glad you think so Joey.
-
Itanium: Please don't be angry, but I don't see any sense in that site ... I mean, the outfit is 'stolen' - you have just added a blinking 'PARODY' symbol and edited some text - am I wrong or is that all? If you would have changed the source code, so there were some funny apps ...
But what you have done is a simple 'up-dated' Qhimm-Site. So if the links and the Source are the same, we also could visit Qhimm's site for what we can get on your site ...
Just think 'bout that...

It may be pointless at the moment but I have just added more savegame editors like FF7ce and FF8che as well as the compiled garden. I am going to add more later. So, uhh, yeah.
-
Mmmm. :-? :z -_- :isee: :-?
I have to be honest, I did not see any parody on the site. It is just the same as qhimm's site. You should add funny stuff to it.

Add something about joey :-) .........

Sigh... not exactly what I meant with "a more extensive copyright notice". And there's far too much confusion as to who made the site, what it's based on, is this the real Qhimm or what?
From the direction this site is taking, I feel I have to object to a few things. First of all, it's not a parody site. There's nothing remotely funny about it. Visitors are more likely to think "whoa, I've somehow entered a parallell universe". They can easily go through the entire site thinking that it's real. And now you've added other programs to the main list, which is intolerable. People would think I made them!
If you just want to make a useful site, please make your own instead of "experimenting" with my design.
-
Okay, so I have to:
#1. List the creator of each program.
#2. Make it clear that it is a parody site and not the original.
Just keep posting and telling me what you want changed until you are satisfied. I don't mean to be any harm Qhimm.
-
hehe i was gonna say.... thats not funny.....
my advice is similar to qhimms.
make your own layout, trash the 'parody' concept, or make it funny.

lol. i like that landoverbaptist site.
-
What is something funny that I should add? I don't know enough about Joey to make something funny about him. :wink:
-
thats what parodies are.... funny.
criticize something, or write fake news.... anything.
-
Wait, wait. I got it. Go look at the site now. :naughty:
-
i dont see anything at all.
-
Well, at least it lookss proper in the eyes of the Copyright God. Now I'm beginning to question what the site is, though ^_^
Final note: have you tested the features of FF World Editor, or are you just quoting what's on his site? You might want to.
-
This is great. Just great! CJB went down 10 minutes ago! NOOOOOO! MY SITE HAS A LONG URL. CRAP!

hmm.... its still not much of a parody....
btw: what would you guys think of me releasing my site on my server, even if it is on a 56k. do you think it will be too slow?
-
darkness if you give me the files i can run it off a server i detup at school. hehe since they never turn the cpus off i'l just do a "little" regediting and make it so the cpu can be turned off except physicly. then it'll be on a cabel server with little or no downtime
-
Oh, I've tested it. That description is in MY words. Not theirs.
Unless my version is screwed and it CAN edit FF7.
WHAT THE HECK!? I AM LOGGED IN AND IT SAYS ANONYMOS! AH!

ive made several adjustments to the page so it would load more quickly. Its only about 30 KB, which would take very little time to load if the connection was running optimally.
I meant that only as a temporary solution, and it could work on a small scale (the people of the forum, for now)

parody (pr-d)
n. pl. parodies
1. a) A literary or artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of an author or a work for comic effect or ridicule. See Synonyms at caricature.
b)The genre of literature comprising such works.
2. Something so bad as to be equivalent to intentional mockery; a travesty: "The trial was a parody of justice."
3. Music. The practice of reworking an already established composition, especially the incorporation into the Mass of material borrowed from other works, such as motets or madrigals.
-
wierd....
-
It was meant as an explanation to Intel. Using definition 2 there, I must really say Intel, your page is a parody of a parody.
-
Well, at least it's a parody at all....
-
Ehmm, no! Read the definition again. Saying that your page is a parody of a parody means that it's not a parody at all (it was badly put but I wanted to play on the wordlist definition).

The Lord of The Rings Exposed!
J.R.R. Tolkein's sexually depraved world of midgets and cock rings finally reaches the big screen.
It's stuff like this that makes a parody work. If you really want to make a parody of Qhimm's site, you need to sit down, look at his site, and figure out ways to contort it into something that's almost the pure opposite of what it actually is. It's like the differences between "Robin Hood: Prince of Theives" and "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" or "Scream" and "Scary Movie".
Another example would be "Star Wars" and "Thumb Wars". Yet another example would be "Star Trek: The Next Generation", and the "Saturday Night Live" skit "The Love Boat: The Next Generation" with their special guest star, Patrick Stewart.
Those are all examples of legitiamite movies/shows and their parodies. I hope this helps you figure out what you need to do with your site.

Speaking of this things, 2001:A space traversity(Lesile Nielson) Is an exteremely funny parody of 2001: A space odessy. The film also features a parody of Bill Clinton and Britney spears.
Am I saying that right.

Histroy will repeat itself. I'm in a very bad mood and I will blurt out alot of stuff.
-
I see. And the difference from any other day being...?

Qhimm, you usually don't join a joey bash, he's finally got to us all!!! :wink:
-
"I'm mad so I will spam your forums so much that your anger level will rise and we will all be equal."
-
Yeah Qhimm... That's a good bash.
Darkness: Eh? What's that from? Hmmm... I'll assume it's an old post of Joey's or something...

Ok, this is what happened.....
I just got my PMR results, a big test which will decide which stream I will go. My results were: 4As, 2Bs and 1E. My dad was really and he said a lot of things that made me worry. I want to enter the IT stream but my parents want me to go to the hard science stream. There is a big chance that I won't go to sciece or IT because I got a B in my malay and I have a E :cry: :cry: :cry:
Well, to tell you again, that day when I posted all these, I had a fever+flu, which is why I became like that. So, I'm sorry if it made you mad or anything because I'm like, not knowing what I'm doing.
So, please try to understand, and forgive and forget.

im assuming an E is equivalent to an F as in Failure, as opposed to the elementary school term E as in Excellent
-
maybe the mayla school system had that elusive "E" grade they we're missing here in the states. maybe :-? ?
-
E is the worst before F
-
i suppose that makes the most sense.....
-
Makes you wonder why we got rid of an E grade, huh?

to allow for the failure of more people?
-
seems fair enough. and besides "e" is the most used vowel in the english language. seem sensible to have it as a grade as well.
