Smashing Magazine - we smash you with the information that will make your life easier. really.

oooh. i like you :)

Guys keep doing what you’re doing best and forget about ‘em. Your stuff is so useful I personally bookmark pretty much every smashing article you publish.

Rock on!

Yeah, I think you have to keep doing these posts that help us too much!

I love this site and I think you’re not stealing anything.

Thank you for this site :)

Every success creates obviously jealousy.
Keep the intelligent critics, and don’t listen to the others. Smashing magazine is a huge and useful service for us, webdeveloppers.

Do not change nothing. You are the best website / blog in my Bookmarks !

Your post remembers me the young times of Ruby on Rails. Lots of envy of people who cannot afford they cannot imagine, develop the same.

It also remembers me when I developed a succesful site back in 2000 and got that sort of comments. The bad conclusion I took and now regret to have taken is to abandon the project and dedicate myself to other ones. Do not commit the same error. That’s a fact of life: you get people who like very much your work and people who do not know anything else than critizice and do not produce anything useful. Listen to first group and ignore the last. That’s my advice.

Of course, I belong to the first group. I really love your work. Any times I receive a post through RSS, the first thing I do is click and read all your articles long. Go on. You’ve got a mark you have success.

I also thought there was something strange going on, but just the other way round: I thought drweb.de was “taking content” from smashing magazine.

I think these misunderstandings were produced by you yourselves: because you did not inform about that at drweb.de (you pretended that smashingmagazine.com is just another goog website, but you did not made clear that it is your website!)

and what is the effect? I just ignore drweb.de now, because the content here is more actual and the layout is much more fluffy… where drweb.de is really awful old layout….

so Leute, jetzt hab ich’s Euch aber gegeben ;=)

First comment from me.

It’s difficult to forget about ugly comments or criticism, but as you can see from the comments so far there are many more lovers than haters for this site.

Keep doing what you do.

I LOVE your site, it’s def one of my new favorites, and that’s saying a lot as I’ve been bored with design blogs lately. Keep up the awesome work.

I absolutely LOVE this site, I’ve referred this site to many friends and co-workers that do web design and graphics on the side, and they agree w/ me that your site is amazing and VERY informative…so for people to ‘bury’ you guys is a shame.

I am also glad I stumbled onto this site (found via digg.com), and I even have it on my bookmarks toolbar!

So keep up the good work!!

Always precise and up to the point. Real nice job you are doing. I usually read your rss line and don’t leave comments. Many thanks for your work. Keep it up!

You could probably avoid a lot of the confusion if you added a note/disclaimer along the lines of:
“The article is an English translation of the article that appears on our other site DrWeb.de.”

i really like your site,its my favorite, keep going, thank you all.

Keep going!!
You’re the great!

;)

I don’t know why people become so jealous seeing someone else going ahead.

In my opinion, you guys are doing a great job. Each and every Smashing Magazine article boost my knowledge like a rocket!

Thanks a lot for whatever you are doing!

Thank you for spending your time to share this valuable
info.

Web 2.0 is all about sharing, right?

Kopf hoch, und vielen Dank nochmal :)

O.G

You guys are doing a fantastic job. You publish awesome material in far more volume than I could possibly hope to keep track of, ensuring that there is never an end to inspiration, examples, and tutorials. Thanks!

Keep up the good work! You are a great source of quality information presented in a clear and unclettered way.
Thanks.

you’re so great! i’m looking forward to get new usefull information!

You do more research and more investigation than almost anybody else and then package your reports in a clear, clean, concise format. No wonder people are jealous!

Thanks for all the great work guys, Ignore them, we all love you !!!

awww…come on, please don’t be like that. Envious and jealous and sometimes a little deranged(these are the kind you get on the net nowadays) people do that kind of things.
You see, smashing magazine is one of my fav sites for design and information and i check it out regularly every hour.And i believe there are many who are like me, please carry on the good work. Everything good follows.

I read english, and Drweb.de is not in english! I love this magazine!

Keep up the good work! Go tell them they’re wrong!

Hey, keep up the excellent work you are doing with smashingmagazine. it is one of the best ressources of webdevelopers i know so far. some people are just always jealous.

Good luck and keep them coming up. Very good web resources, lots of information here.

Hi, in the coutry there is a saying,

“a galinha do viziho é sempre melhor que a minha” (this is portuguese).

Congratulations SM, you are great.

Lot’s of fresh, helpful and inspiring posts. I’ve never seen such large collections of design work that is of such a high standard. It’s no doubt you spend a good deal of time collecting this material.
Your efforts are as inspirational as the designs in your posts.

Have you thought of providing some comments on the work you select and why you selected it over others? What about ranking the designs, themes, fonts, etc. It would be interesting to hear what you had to say about a few of the many items in your posts.

Regardless, it’s great to have the smashers around. A fabulous resource of designs I would have otherwise missed.

Ever since your first few posts I have not been able to look away!

You know, I must’ve found you guys a while back, but didn’t really start plugging in until a few months ago. This site is super useful and you guys are doing a fantastic job. Keep it up and screw the dirtbag comments who criticize out of envy.

Remember this. A statue/monument, has only been built for those that have been criticized, never for the ones who do the criticizing.

Cheers!

You guys are doing a terrific job. SmashimgMagazine is now a must read blog for all Web Design enthusiasts. Stop worrying about the losers taking mud shots at you.

These people will continue their complaining since this is the only thing they are able to do and find real pleasure in it. So stop paying attention to them, and continue your job.

And remember one thing Digg runs because of sites and articles like yours, so actually its Digg who need more of your articles rather than you needing Digg traffic/mob.

good!
I like it!

Wuaw! Im amazed.
Its the first time ive seen this type of explanation and what a great publication.
I always enjoy reading all of your post and the “magazine” always gives me great inspiration when im working.
I personally think youre doing a great job.
Greetings!
