Nothing can make a designer a better designer. Either you have it, or you don't.
On the other hand, QBN helped me become a better man.
Honesty, moral values, bravery, humane.
Thank you QBN.
Thank you.- id disagree wholeheartedly. There may be natural designers, but any designer can learn more and improve.Hombre_Lobo_2

I got a lot of quick and in depth help from a lot of people, especially unfittoprint about 5 years ago. There are better Actionscript forums out there, but here you have the numbers and someone will answer you within minutes most of the time. I think most people just waste time here. Most threads are off topic or just plain nonsense, but when they're on topic, they can be great and there have been times where I felt like I've saved my job here.
Also, NT was no better for designers than QBN. It was the same thing with a different layout and no comment fields.

Lost my nt id. Vena could be a brat. I miss magicpatch's, transfatty's and CL's tunes. Also bagging on jazx before he got stuck in the dark void of the political thread.
Can become a better designer by reading you lot hate & love on stuff. Trends get old here FAST. Certainly ahead of the zeitgeist.

for me, QBN is more of a personal community with people who like things i like. in regards to becoming a better designer, QBN has informed me of industry practices that i would have never heard of.

Yeah - got a link to an agency that was hiring.
Got the job. Got me out of inhouse and back in agencies.
Great.
Actually it might have been the old tDR forum come to think of it.

I've definitely learn a lot, and often reminds me that there are plenty of talented peeps out there who inspire me to be better. I love how people are so brutally honest when you have the balls to post your work here, and give you credit when it is actually deserved.
Also made some good friends through qbn, in real life :)
Plenty of laughs to be had too, a good distraction on bad days...

Pro: I've gotten a lot of inspiration, advice and help from QBNers
Con: It wastes a lot of time i'd otherwise have spent doing something mildly constructive

Not sure if became a better designer, but undeniably a better informed one. You can ask for a link to the most trivial thing and somebody will know about it. This kind of collective memory (if you don't know the font somebody will) is what makes this place great.
It can be crude from time to time, but is much better that way.

i made a lot of friends on here then alienated them all (except moth “mad love homes till da end”).
I decided I wanted to be hard as fuck and get laid like a pimp rather than be all creative and artistic and shit. Consequently I mostly abandoned this forum and now spend most of my time on combat sports/sports training/strength and conditioning forums and a forum on picking up and fucking girls where pics of my dick inside the vagina of girls are APPRECIATED and not frowned upon, and stories of my latest conquests and sexual adventures are looked upon in awe. (www.rsdnation.com/forum)
I found this forum to be mainly populated by well meaning but generally mediocre people who talk big but do nothing but bitch about clients, bitch about other people’s work (without having fuck all to show themselves) and bitch about their general disillusionment with life. It’s a spirit-sucking place with an utter-lack of creative thinking – although it DID/Does keep me abreast of the latest technological developments and web-trends (because, as well as being generally mediocre, the people here are also vain trend-whore faggot hipsters obsessed with consumerism).
Thanks!
