    2A consists of a bloke in an office who just digs out the 2A template, changes the colours and the words, and charges a lot of money for it.

    Think of something new guys, it's just boring.

    just for the sake of argument and because I'm working on friday night and bored I thought I'd take screenshots of the last 5 sites they put out and see whether they just change the words and colours or not

    well, they definitely change the words and colours... and some other odd things by the looks of it.

    Point made aversion, although...

    http://www.2advanced.net/

    Anybody remember my rant at 2A a good few months back?

    aversion: You didn't respond to my email about the Holga about 3 weeks back, how is it? Too much effort for the photos you get?

    I just thought you were being a tad harsh, this one is donated, they're not going to break out the heavies. Though it's a weird company to 'donate' to, maybe they know someone.

    I didn't see your email about the holga, but it's definitely worth getting one, the only drag is processing, but that's the same for any film camera. I can't find anywhere around here that processing medium format film so I'll wait until I get back to toronto, I hate sending them off.

    I didn't release it was a donation; the attitude some people have about 2A just annoys me sometimes and it shows

    £40 ain't bad, I think I'll get one. There was this great Lomo shop in London that's closed now, real shame - have to wait and get it from Austria.

    Lets not also forget that a lot of times people will say "Make it look like *insert website client likes*"

    I think some of the 2A guys have said here before or in interviews that clients ask them to duplicate their site often.

    They look almost IDENTICAL to me! Notice the skilful use of 45 degree angles and the color blue!

    Well, I wasn't asking about the design ... I just want to know ...

    WHAT IS THIS SITE ABOUT????

    It seems that it's leading to something more ... it's about Aliens and Bigfoot and stuff like that (which I like those mythos kinda things) but ...

    What's the direction? Is it a joke or is it serious?

    Why would 2A donate their time to a joke? I assume it's serious, or at least serious to the conspiracy nut jobs that run it.

    conspiracy, hehe.
