How Not To Update a website - Golden Spiders

| | Comments (5)
Pete spotted an interesting issue with the Golden Spiders site this morning

It looks like whoever designed the site uploaded the site's template and replaced the content ....

Their frontpage looks a bit odd at the moment, as does the claim:

Due to huge demand, nominations have been extended until 5th October at 4.30pm.

So they're playing shift the goalposts again this year?

Let's look at the logic behind that statement.

If your awards are getting lots of nominations why would you need to extend the deadline? Wouldn't you extend the deadline if you weren't getting enough entries?

So they've been spamming?

They've been spamming me too. I've received about 10 mails from them the last week... some duplicates.

It's a good point - if they were getting loads of entries, why extend the deadline? Oh right... 150 Euro per entry! CHA-CHING!

A couple of times over the last few years they've been looking for sponsors a week or two before the event!

Ha

I must be on their email blacklist - I'm 100% free from GS spam :)

So not so many takers this year then...
