He isn't. Ice is overreacting and jumping to false conclusions and assumptions in a split second here. Nickolai didn't say anywhere he was an expert nor trying to impress us. He also did not say he could make something better. All he was doing was giving a friendly suggestion about the font, not knowing how fonts work web-based. That doesn't make it forbidden to give the suggestion at all.
You don't need qualifications or a masters of science degree to be allowed to give a suggestion on any subject. Only because you have the qualifications you immediately have to show off with it and burn others to the ground who don't have the qualifications and/or knowledge?
As far as I can see there is only one person that needs to come off his high horse here.

So shake hands virtually and leave eachother alone if this is your way of replying to each other and everybody will be happy and this topic can be used again for what it intended to be for.

I salute you,
TS

I would "like" this if I could like Facebook. Glad to see some common sense has prevailed here.

Back on topic I do like this concept of Bon Jovi archives. But I don't know how you're gonna make it 100% accurate without making the website editable by over users (like Wikipedia). And I doubt very much Seb would want to do that.

That said I do like all the album and single covers that I didn't know existed. Seb is it just you working on this site or is it a few people?

I don't know how to interpret this in any other way than as an insult (towards Seb, not me):

But I don't really care. Nickolai's post, to me at least, was an arrogant one, where he dismissed the work done on the site. He tried to act as if he knew something about web sites, which he clearly doesn't. I just pointed that out, gave HIM a little friendly advice and he started the name calling.

Yes, I'm sure Seb is deeply insulted.

Aloha !

I appreciate all the nice words, I knew many people "missed" the site but I like that you enjoy it this much.

Most stuff currently on wikipedia is from my website. All tourdates on wikipedia from previous tours come from my site, and the reason why I'm sure of this is because errors on wikipedia were similar to the ones on my previous site.

I'm the only one who's worked on the bonjovi-archives. Some people have submitted setlist information or some additional information but 99% of it is my work based upon my personal research and personal collection.

I was. I put my heart and soul into this website and all Nickolai could do was give useless advice with a tone that says "It's awful".

I appreciate what Iceman did, but because of what Nickolai did you will now have to wait a little bit longer for the next update, because, you know, I gotta change the fonts to something like Calibri. NOT CALIBRI THOUGH.

So I hereby virtually will shake hands with Iceman.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan
