need any help?

What features do you folks plan on laying out for us in the New ResExcellence?

One more, how soon can we begin to submit new content?

Will you give credit for those who posted content previously, with the same names/usernames? Also, for those who have had user names previous with ResExcellence, will we be able to keep those?

-Tim

Oh yea,

Will we still have access to all the old submitted extras? ie: Icons, bezels, menulette replacements, etc?

-Tim

No Questions here…. just a big hearty thank you!

Thanks alot! I look forward to the reconstruction of this site!! ~many hugs for your efforts~

Ooooooh…..this is fantastic. I can’t wait. I have felt the loss………welcome back ResExcellence!!!!! AND thank you Brian and Phil

like danny said above, need any help?

it’s about freaking time i’ve kept my mouth shut this entire time during all of this stupidness and i’m glad resex is finally in capable hands now! i miss all the traffic i used to get from resex back in the day, so i can’t wait till this gets going again

i’ve been wanting to get into making themes, cursors and whatever else i can, will there be a section for tutorials

thanks guys

oh yea, to submit stuff, will we need to get it approved like before through a moderator or will it be automatic, as in a script?

Also…..I love the look of this intro and it let’s me know we are in good hands for whatever is to come. Can’t wait.

I would realy like to know when it will be done

Great to see ResExcellence making a come back, can’t wait to see it completely back up and running.

I am so glad that Resexcellence is back. This site has been around a long time and it changed the way I saw the Mac. I loved the community and the generous GUI artist that contributed to it. I was pretty sad when it changed hands and almost gave up on it. I know that now it is in good hands. The GUI community thanks you and I know that they will be very supportive in making this the great site it used to be when there was people behind it that care.

yohoho! resex is back!

if you nedd help…

And once again Res Ex becomes a daily stop for me

Any aid needed, just say the word. I am an infrequent visitor to Resex and I have availed myself of its resources so giving back is clearly in order. Best of luck on the redesign and I echo all the users who cannot wait to see what you all have in store.

Just wanted to say that its awesome to see ResEx making a comeback – we’ve missed you.

Need someone to help with PHP, MYSQL, HTML, CSS, or to just bounce ideas or concepts off? Or just an extra head to do some brainstorming? NDA’s fully respected as well.

This is excellent news, I was really bummed with what was happening to one of my favorite mac sites. Thank you.

will the new resex require us to sign up for all new forums or will we continue to have our previous forum accounts, but maybe a new look to the forum? i’m hoping we keep our accounts. it would make it easier, on the users. though it also all depends on what forum software you’re going to be using.

Good to see you folks ironed out some of whatever difficulties you experienced.

It will truly be nice to see this site back on the block and hopefully in the swing of things. I’ll believe it more when it actually happens but I think that is because ResEx has been in a dormant stage for a long, long time.
It was always one of the best!

Thank you very much!! I’ve been returning to the broken connecction hopeing for a return! Thanks again

all your base are belong to us

FANtastic! The legacy of ResExcellence’s glorious past deserves this opportunity to clean off the recent tarnish. Sure, any one of us could have tried to replace it with a site of our own, but us never-say-die Mac folks are a sentimental bunch. Towards the community effort intent, if there’s anyway I can contribute, just ask. And Brian, just out of curiosity, on top of your considerable musical, production and writing talents, are you among us here as another hopeless Mac-Modder and/or graphic artist or will your role here be simply as an underwriter as a friend of the community? Either way, your creative and innovative reputation and pleasant personality will be a welcome plus to this site.

I was stopping by everyday anyway… didn’t realize it was in that bad shape. It’ll be good to have the revamp though.

I’d like to suggest that whoever’s doing the setuo of the site have a look at the e107.org CMS project as a possible backbone for the place. Just a thought.

What happens to those of us who were chosen to be administrators for ResExcellence, during the sale to Phill? Will you be asking for any assistance from us anytime soon?

you are a god. thank you so much! the Res is coming back! MUCH WIN! I think the great Res is in the right hands. and is gooing in the right direction!

i’m willing to beta test things
if you need the help

will the ‘archives’ still be available?

As a GUImaniac, I thank you very much, and I’ll be waiting

I’m still not really sure how this is going to complement MacThemes… will it be a place to post things like DA and then we will link to them in the MTF posts?

I’m excited to see the new ResEx though!

when do you estimate the new site will be up and running properly??

I agree w/ an above comment and would be willing to help test your site. Whatever it takes. I am excited about all the goodies and past goodies that I just always thought would be accessible.

its great that ResX is finally coming back, and from what i’ve seen at MacThemes i expect good things.

p.s. you have the prettiest CSS i have ever seen.

Brian, you’re back! Now I can find the stuff I want. Best of luck guys, and you’ve got my support…

All thumbs up! ResExcellence not dying is one of the greatest news I could have dream of. Many thanks to you, Phil and Brian. I’m not sure I can do much but if any need any kind of help…

Oh, and Brian, you may consider that “out of the way” but your songs are still in my playlist, as for many other friends around

Again, this is great news! I welcome a simple (non wikipedia car-wreck style), usable site that concentrates on what we all want: cool mac goodies!

Good Luck!

Wish I could help, but I don’t have time. Are you going to have the same categories as on the old ResExcellence, e.g. Sony Ericcson themes and iTunes themes and the like? or are you going to have different ones.

Thank you guys so much. I’m a long time Resex fan and I am so excited!

Deo gratias!

Brian, this is welcome news! Can’t wait to see the site back up and running! – mh

Hey folks,

Just focus on bringing the site back up and ensuring that all of the content & resources from times gone by are brought back online.

I wouldn’t worry about previous usernames / accounts. I think your time would be better spent working on your vision of the site and providing us the content & resources we all desire.

All of us are clamoring to seeing the resurrection of ResEx, but take your time and do it right. We all benefit when your time & efforts are directed to the benefit of the entire community.

Thanks for stepping up to the plate. Good Luck!

Please change the white text on black background. It’s a strain on the eyes.

I’m glad Resexcellence is coming back! Can’t wait to see what it’s going to be like

Can’t wait to see the site come back, and to see you again on Imus!

WhoA! This is great! Please don’t botch it up like the last guys. Long live ResExcellence!!!

What white text? All I see is some washed out gray that’s barely discernible.

When is the website going to be viewable for public (people like myself)? I really can’t wait.

I agree with with OzarkMtn, please don’t waste time worrying about former user names & passwords. It takes all of 5 seconds for us to re-register, but the time you would have to spend bringing them all back from the grave just cuts into the time you could be spending bringing back the old content!

Take as much time as you need-not as long as the last guys, but don’t rush because of the impatience of some people. Glad to see ResEx back. BTW, love Pet Sounds

ALL HAIL THE KING!

Yeah, I don’t think we need to worry about how many posts we made in the past and registering again. It’s not like we’re getting a trophy for that, are we?

Hello,

I hope you’ll soon put all the old RealBasic material online again. Some of those demo’s and custom controls are really really popular and sadly only available through you guys.

And of course all the best and good luck.

I hope we get some of the stuff back before the server crash back in ’04 or whenever it was. Is that possible?

[...] A couple weeks ago, we asked you guys if you had questions about the new Resexcellence. Many questions were asked, and I’ve tried to answer as many as I can. Hopefully these answers will provide a clearer idea of what we’re trying to accomplish. [...]

I remember when you posted the percentage complete bar on the website. I really liked that feature. My question is, what is that percentage now? And, is there anyway I can make a donation to help get resexcellence.com back on its feet?

Will the new site be free like the old one? Will you have iTunes skins?

Please change the site’s color scheme. Black backgrounds and washed out text are killing my eyes. Dark text on light pastel background is best.

So what is the story…….when will the site be back up so we can get access to the desktop pics, apple apps, and such?

This mssg. is only to give you encouragement. I’ve always from the day I 1st saw your site, have loved your site. I trashed the bookmark as I thought better to committ it to memory.
Can’t remember what originally led me to you, but just wanted to say that I can imagine there are difficult many of you have had to endure. Probably times you all wanted to say,
F|_|¢|

Several questions.
When showing screen shots, will you be listing the applications shown?
Will non Apple applictions in the dock also be listed?
I don’t recall a way for donations to be made with the old site, will this be changed? People need to be reminded, alittle goes a long way for all the work being done.

Thank you big time resex! I was getting worried there but I am sooooooooooo relieved now.

Is Resexcellence still going to offere REALBasic related material as before?

Whah happened?

I would very much like to see ResExcellence back in business

Hey, how much longer do we have to wait?

Hey, they’re working on it, and I’m sure they’re doing a great job!! Everybody just relax, and give them some more time. I’m sure the outcome will be fantastic

So sad. User and fan for a long time.

RIPinexcellence.com

I don’t know. I’ve visited the main page every day since Jan. 8 and haven’t seen a single update message. I’m not encouraged.

Five + months and still crappy light gray on black (???) background. IMHO, they’ve taken a dirt nap. Don’t expect to see it this year.

This used to be one of my favorite sites. I got tired of my iTunes skin today and thought that i would stop by here and take a look what a surprise i got when i saw this black and grey site and not the familiar one. Well best luck to you guys that have taken over this site I hope it will back soon.

Honestly… thi site hasn’t been usable OR fun since people like Michael Coyle, Jeremy Hoesely, etc., were in charge. Good to know Coyle has a new site at MichaelsMac.com !

I agree. Why couldn’t they have simply uploaded the original site instead of going for this “whole new look” thing? At least the original site was workable. They should at least sell their rights to ResExcellence to someone who will actually get the site running. This is bull.

Welcom!

Okay, if you get tired of the system voices that came with your Macbook Pro 2.4GHZer, is there a place where I can install new and better voices… maybe like Hal 9000′s voice or something? Isn’t that possible? I also wouldn’t mind maybe Heidi Klum’s voice and then I can rename my hard drive Heidi. At least I can dream, eh? Oh, but back to the system voices. Can I get more? I’d love that! Could have more to choose from, you know? Thanks!

Hello,

I have been trying to find all the downloadables as on the old website, nothing has happened by using the old link (www.resexcellence.com) so far, is this site dead, or not been worked on since the closing of the old site? It certainly was one of my favorites to visit, I still have it bookmarked, but I’m ready to give on it. Info on RECENT links to the good stuff would be priority interest to myself and of course, to the world.

Thank you,

-Stan Arguello

Hi! I have a question that you guys just might be able to help me with. Here’s the story: I installed Parallels 3.0 on my Macbook Pro 2.4GHZ notebook. The install went fine… not that hard. Ahemmm.. I’m certified, but no one knows everything. Here it goes: I was told that the drivers for the SoundBlaster 16/32 that would allow me to hear sound was in the c:/program files/Parallels/Parallel Tools/Sound. Well, I went there, and I went into Device Manager, and I installed the drivers, but I still have a yellow exclamation mark in device manager even after rebooting. I hear nothing. The Windows I installed was Windows 98 SE, because all I want to use w/ this OS is: chat on this Livve.com with cam. I have a LIFETIME membership – have had it for years and years. Anyway, why won’t the drivers work, and why is there an exclamation point in Device manager? And, what about using my internal microphone in my Macbook Pro in the virtual setting? Can you help me? I’m desperate. Thank you!

Moof!

lol… No matter how many times I visit, I still manage to laugh. *sigh*

You guys ruined the best Mac customization website on the Internet.

You know, before you know it, it’ll be a year since their last posting or update. They can’t even tell us that things are stalled, or in progress? Thanks for getting everyone’s hopes up and then dashing them. You should have (and still should) simply reinstall the original site setup. At least it worked. No one cares that much about how the site looks. The point is to get access to the content. There was never anything bad about the original site or its layout.

goddamn I miss this site. The best.

Boy, have I got questions…

Here’s my question: How do you guys live with yourselves? lol

Comeon! Honestly, if you cant, won’t, or do not desire to do re-create this site than go of and sulk AFTER reinstating some kind of a site. You pulled off a site that was better than this in a savior-esque move, but now you have just killed the site. If you have some sort of a vendetta against resexcellence then got sulk like some emo kid, but please pass on thissite, or at least reinstate it. If you wont, then please aknowledge your visitors. They deserve more that you are giving them. Please at least respond to their posts.

You all want an update?? Well, here it is.. This site is dead and will remain dead.. All of the thank you for this and thank you for that is ludicrous… Thanks for WHAT!!! They (who ever they are ) are just dangling a carrot in frot of you and laughing as they watch you chase your tails.. Have’nt you figured out that if they won’t even answer ONE question in over a year that they have NO intentions of EVER doing ANYTHING… Working on it MY B*TT!!! have you ACTUALLY seen anything at all from these guys other than this crappy Black screen with grey lettering which I would say is a slap in the face not something to thank them for… Plying ANY questions to these guys is a TOTAL waste of time.. Have any of you even got one answer to ANY personally ask question or is it the same old info that says nothing.. We’re doing this and These guys are working on that and we are implementing this so we can that.. WHAT A LOAD!!!… More than likely some PC b8ttheads that have got great delight in killing one more thing that we fouond to be precious and usefull for the MAC…If they are really going to do anything then what you must do is to QUIT WRITING ANYTHING AT ALL in this site so they can see that we a re tired of chasing our tails.. IF BY SOME SMALL CHANCE they are going to actually do something it will be then that they finally see JUST HOW TIRED this same old song and dance has gotten for us all.. If they are for real they will realise that they must SH*T or get off the pot as they have lost their fan base.. As long as you keep giving them this whimpering thank you’s for absolutely NOTHING at all, they will continue to give you JUST THAT.. NOTHING AT ALL!!! I am not a ccoffe drinker nor am I a hot head!! I am a realist.. get a clue guys.. Put the pressure on them and you just might get something out of it.. Keep playing thisa game and that aand this is all they will ever do… ARE YOU TIRED OF THIS GAME YET????!!!! If you are then just QUIT PLAYING it and MAKE them do something.. If at that point they do NOT then you will have your answer and see that saying thanks for taking it over is just a fantasy…SMOKE AND MIRRORS is all we have goten so far.. The stuff they write here is like what the government does.. They pass out a pre written set of things they want you to think and then don’t answer anything for fear you will actually see the LIES for what they are.. At this time I am asking for an embargo on any comments to this site… it doesn’t mean that you can’t check it out to see if there has been any progress!! It DOES mean that we are not going to feed into a lie just to boost their egos anymore.. Why pump them up with how wonderful they are when they have given you NO REAL evidence that what they say is just a lie.. They COULD put the OLD SITE back up and JUST REPLACE it with the new one, but hey, that would be giving you something and I don’t think that is their goal.. They could post the archives to at least access the old stuff but hey why do ANYTHING for you.. Your going to tell them how great they are without them actually having to do anything to warrant praise.. Do you get the picture guys.. NO MORE STROKES FOR LIES !!!

Um, respectfully, I don’t remember “chasing my own tail.” I got “tired of the game” a long time ago and I am certainly not complimenting them… but I’ll continue to post comments just for fun.

I moved on to bigger and better sites long ago–Like Michael Coyle’s site (MichaelsMac dot com).

We’re gettin’ close to one year of nontent!

It’s Jan. 8!!

Happy birthday to you . . .

*Insert cricket noise*

answers?

Hey, just check my homepage out. You guys can post in my blog. It’s probably more interesting than this site. LOL

“Work is in progress. 12gig of content is being organized into a new structure. A design is being worked on. (I suck at that however)”

If this is true, could they not, after a year-and-a-half of nothing, at least offer an explanation as to why there was total silence on their end? I don’t believe them. Besides, the computing world has moved on. My Intel Mac won’t run Shapeshifter, and MacTheme has already posted a few examples of the future of theming. ResEx is too late for my needs at this point.

“resex is too late for my needs at this point.” – Understatement of the year.

How long is it going to be for this site to be back up and running. I desperately need a tutorial on Interface builder & how to change LoginWindowUI.nib file. I remember seeing one here before on the old site.
I wish I had printed it off know as it is taking ages for you guys to get back up & running.

I see strikethrus here… hmmmm

Wow!! ol’ admin missed a page! Just cause your such a great entity, Doug — I’ll turn off the strike —- Just for you

100!!!!!

Yup, this one needs it, too…

Thank you.

(And why are you even visiting THIS thread?)

ATTENTION: To whomever posted those 3 fake blog entries about “Just checking”, “work work” and “snapshots”. Please do so again sometime soon! We are getting bored and need some new excitement. Please post something new for us.
Thank you.

ywa

Ha. If this site ever does come back, I’m sure the explanation for the past three years will be good, or at least, it had better be!

“Well, you see, 3 years ago, it happened like this….”
