Does the Web Give DBZ a Bad Name?

I've been using computers since I was five, and I've been interested in Dragonball/Z/GT since I was about 11, and I'm 15 now. When I first saw an episode of Dragonball Z on Cartoon Network (the first episode to be exact) I thought it was the greatest thing ever. I jumped up off my couch and ran straight to my laptop sitting in the corner of my room. I got on the net as quickly as possible with a 56k modem and began searching for Dragonball/Z/GT sites, hoping that I could learn more and more about this wonderful anime.

What I found was basically a bunch of trash. I saw a bunch of sites with no potential at all. A bunch of crap that couldn't make it big even if the opportunity bit them in the ass. A bunch of sites with horrible layouts, hard to read, and no originality. I searched the web for days looking for something that even came close to the greatness of Dragonball, yet only found a few. I will not name these sites for I do not advertise sites in my editorials, just like the Real World does not advertise any type of product or business on their show. ^_^

The point of this editorial? To trash Dragonball/Z/GT sites? No. I'm just here to say I think all these people who have no idea what they are doing, who have no experience whatsoever, and basically can't make a site worth shit, shouldn't even try. Your giving Dragonball/Z/GT a bad name. Sure people will get on and say "Wow, 100,000,000 sites found for a search on Dragonball!" but when they look at all these sites they'll be thinking "Damn, Dragonball must be one sucky anime to have crappy fans like this." Like I said before, there are some great sites out there, and I commend you guys for actually making something worth looking at..

I guess all I'm trying ot say in this editorial is that people, get a grip here. You all aren't going to be great Dragonball webmasters, so give up now when you have the chance. Don't humiliate yourself, and don't make someone else have to write an editorial like this. Im sorry if I've offended you in any way by saying any of this, but it's the truth. If you find yourself with a site with just a bunch of jumbled text, gifs, and pictures that aren't even thumbnailed, delete the site right away and put a link on it to a good site...
