Templates, Layouts and Sounds / Re: My Layout - For Sale?

Yep I concede, your layout is the best thing sence butter & bread got together so carry on with the fine work that you do so well. And may other be amazed with your talent,  So just keep amazing us with your layouts and may the orders start rolling in.

your attempts at sarcasm and humour is embarrassing, i think you should learn a lesson, read over all of your comments and realize how ridiculous your argument started and what it has turned into.

for everyones information I will no longer entertain the subject of selling the layout. I have had an offer offline from a poker room to exclusively purchase it from me so that is the end of that subject. As far as making future layouts go I will be strongly thinking otherwise after the experience I have had on these forums.

The roughness was started by him,  the only  problem i had was the word professional, know where on my post do i clam the word professional. But with about 5 more min, I could finish this,... just saying, and it still wont be a  professional layout

Are you actually serious? What is that?

That attempt to make it is nothing short of pathetic, you have once again made it look like a 5 year old did it in Microsoft publisher, you have no idea in terms of fonts, design, style and color scheme. Seriously that made me laugh. What is that logo??!! loool! Now that is WordArt.

when you install another layout, it doesn't overwrite anything you already have. you can go from one to another as you wish and even in the middle of a tournament.
if you look,TD comes with several layouts already. go ahead and extract the folder into your templates folder and load the layout

i know that, i dont want to install it

Alright.... I've been paying attention to this thread, and now I think I need to make a comment. I understand where Adz was coming from with the initial post. I also see the issue that most people have with charging for it. Personally, I would agree that this wouldn't be the place for it. It does look nice and professional, but by no means is it "in a class of its own" as far as layouts go. I've seen many layouts in my short time here that personally, look better. That's just my opinion. I also agree with GreenTurtle in that this is turning in to a bigger dick contest, which doesn't need to happen. I personally think the best thing to happen is to agree to disagree on this one.

I dont see any issue with charging for your work? The software it runs on costs so what is so wrong about paying for a good quality, well made layout. It happens with all software. Take CubeCart for example, it is a web shopping cart software and there are lots of websites where people create skins for it and sell them. They also have a support forum where people help each other out..

Like I say made it because I wanted something like it and couldn't find it and if I could find it I would have paid for it myself. That is all I base my argument on. If people dont want to pay for it thats fine, they just wont have it and its no big deal?

I'm not saying that you're wrong to charge for your work. What I do question is stating on here that you are selling it. I'm not upset about it, especially since it was cleared through Corey. Perhaps there could be a sticky topic on this board for that? I'm only speaking for myself in saying that I think what many people have the issues with is that at some point we all need help, and at some point, we all provide help, all for free. I'm not intentionally trying to take sides here, and if it seems that way, I apologize. I am trying to see things from both sides of this controversial topic, and attempt to give my two cents worth.

Corey, would it be feasible to put something like that on here? (the layouts for sale topic)

that is fair enough, I will provide as much help as I can for free to people, I can even make some quick free layouts. some things just dont come for free thats what I was trying to say.

As for the xmas layout, no offence but I dont want to install it because I know I wont use it. It took me ages to develop my own layout so theres no chance I would ditch it. I think a screenshot would suffice.

Mr. Adz, try the layout I left for everybody (the xmas one earlier in this post. install all the fonts and sounds and compare with your own. if you feel yours is still more professional looking it is because there isn't any way to judge 'professional'. i find my layout is the most professional. timmer and mahound find their's the most professional. it is why we ise those ones and not others.
I had thought about charging for my layouts and thought about making custom layouts for others for money as well. However, I quickly changed my attitude on that when I saw the help I received in this forum. I could not morally take money from anyone here and expect free help in return.
BTW,
I posted a link to my christmas layout (with fonts and sounds...) here is my halloween layout
www.jodystacey.com/halloween.zip

Kinda late for halloween but install it and use it for next year.
Jody

Please post a screenshot

.......my layout is the most professional looking I have seen, bring me something that looks anywhere near as good and I begin to listen to you.

Is this "a biggest dick" contest?! Anyway, here's what you asked for, http://www.thetournamentdirector.net/forums/index.php?topic=1539.0

No I am just sticking up for myself, perhaps read the comments above before passing judgement. The layout you have posted is good, much better than others, it is still basic however.

Timmer you would agree with him because you need someone on your side. Your layout is really bad, really.

Fact is my layout has been rated highly by everyone that has seen it in action, its not my fault that just because I mention charging for it people get annoyed like I have no right to charge for my work? That is the basis of your argument.

From a 5 year old to a 5 year old, not much to change.      Edit the pic, of Jason's up top is about 3 or 4 years old

your point is what exactly? its inspired from that layout yes, well done. I gaurentee you could never come up with anything as professional looking and then format and align it proper to run at 1080p.

my layout is the most professional looking I have seen, bring me something that looks anywhere near as good and I begin to listen to you.

The beer on me.    I was going too post our's this Friday when I got to that laptop, But Jason sent me a pic of his,   he took out his logo and replace it with the second clock, Now it looks about the same as yours, and there are buttons on his can you find them.... Cheers TIMMER

Mine makes your one look like a 5 year old drew it

Adding onto what I have just said, if it took me 20 minutes to make like all of the layouts I have seen available, then I would put it up for free.

If people want to attempt to create it themselves than I have no problem with that, like I say it took me a very long time to finish it and get it to display correctly in the right resolutions.

I didn't put up a for sale sign and I had this topic cleared with Corey Cooper also so I know I have not done that. I was merely touching on the possibility of selling it. My basis for this was that I was looking for a clean layout before I made this one (unfortunately I have never come across a professionally good looking one) and if someone else had one for sale I would have been willing to pay for it rather than waste many hours doing it.

If it offends you I would rather you not reply.

This took me 8 hours to get right but I finally completed my new layout. I am thinking of selling a un-branded version to people interested for small fee.
