nice to see something on the page rather than just the old logo. hope this finishes coming together soon.

Hallelujah! I’m so psyched that you’re taking up the torch. I’ve so missed Resxcellence and can’t wait to see what you guys come up with. Have you thought about setting up an eNewsletter to which folks can freely subscribe and keep updated with the latest and greatest GUI stuff? That might be one way to avoid the “out of sight out of mind” problem that Resexcellence had. I was just as guilty of neglecting the site…until I need a specific GUI that I knew was posted there. There’s got to be some circular interaction between the site and its users. Best wishes to y’all in your endeavors!

Hey guys, I am very much looking forward to the return of ResExcellence. I have been a loyal visitor of this site for many years, and was very sad to see it go so far downhill. I look forward to all you will do with it, and welcome it back.

Every day I would go to ResExcellence to get my share of eye candy when one day I went to it and it said UNDER CONSTRUCTION I ws mad for the first fe days but then I statred hoping they would come back in a week. so every day I would go the the site but it was not up again. Ever since then I was going to the site 3 times a day. I am so happy that it is back up.
-Emilio

godspeed, resexcellence

looking forward to the future

Indeed – welcome back! I’ve been checking this URL just about every day since it’s grisly demise a few months back and have been eagerly awaiting the rebirth.

I look forward to seeing how things play out, and taking a gander at what ya’ll have to offer.

YEAH BABY!!!!! I didn’t know Unsanity was in on this – now the site will return to its greatness, I have no doubt. Awesome job guys, and it’s only the first day….

Yeah! news on one of my favorite sites! I just hope this isn’t another in a long series of “We’ll be back and better than ever!” that never happens.

very good place

It is most WONDERFUL to see things are comin along. I am one of the ‘long time’ users who was not happy with the direction the site was going with the last owners.

I have been checking just about everyday for news on the site, and i see it has paid off!

Please, keep up the hard work (but take your time to make it great!!)

All i would like to see is the site back with updates!! Its a free service you guys provide to the mac community, so whatever you guys do, im sure will be great!!

-Chris

i hope the site comes back, its always great to see what cool stuff people have created

Used to be a daily stop for me as well — I used to spend free time tinkering with my old Power Mac 8600 doing all sorts of mods and things to OS 8 and 9, it was a lot of fun. Resexcellence was the best resource to find anything. It wasn’t exactly the prettiest web site in the world, but it had a lot of content, and nothing was terribly hard to find.

I’m glad to hear that resexcellence is finally being resurrected after all this time, by someone who knows what they are doing. (Already, I’ve got an idea. I suggest a domain name change of some kind — on occasion the web site is blocked due to ‘sex’ being part of the name. Or perhaps it should stay the way it is. *shrugs*)

I would like to join in and add my own well wishes to you guys! Like you, I was a daily visitor of this site for years. I also contributed a few graphical creations, as well. The site had a clean, usable interface, and concentrated on fun goodies rather than news, etc. Simple? sure. But that’s the point.

Then, as we all remember, several so-called “experts” took it upon themselves to change the site into some clunky, unusable wikipedia mutation. Soon afterwards, they made matters worse by taking a billion years to complete even the smallest steps of progress–punctuated by an asanine and poorly run “contest” to pick a logo. The final straw was a deliberate lack of any effort to update the site at all, accompanied by defensive whining and childish rants.

Since the time they took over, I, like you Philip, abandoned the site and moved on to places such as pixelgirl, etc… I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time and effort to bring our little beloved Mac site back to it’s former glory!

Again, good luck!

PS: I’m sure you have all the help you need, but, as a graphic designer myself, I’d be more than happy to contribute if i can!

As a member of the board macthemes,
I would like to say. Phillip Ryu I also feel what you’ve felt when the site was dying. I also wanted to help. But as student is this hard. So I find it awesome job that you (and more) are taking over to keep this site alive. It’s great, I can finally come over here and see updates (like Res. usually has).

My request is, keep it simple. And I want those new updates like res. had.

thanks and great job.

Carlos

Nice to see this site making progress! I got nice warm feelings about the outcome. Keep up the work guys!

Thanks for the resurrection and good luck. This was a daily stop for a long, long time. I’m very glad to see it’s coming back.

Thank you and good luck.

Great to see it taken over…here’s to the New!!

Fantastic!
I’m so EXCITED, I could not sleep!(like the commercial)
Good to see something here.. finally, after months of waiting!
I have been directing folks from my Site to: “http://rampant-mac.com/wp/”, so they would not het too bored
with ” We’ll be Back!”.. Good Job!
LL

I have the warm toasties as well. I’m looking forward to the bright new future that this site deserves! Thanks for saving it from utter destruction!

…by the way…
is it joust coincidence or is it because Unsanity folk are at the helm, that this new front page matches the latest cool Shapeshifter Theme called AmonRaa Recording Studios? I mean I’m running it as I write this and it matches perfectly. Pretty nifty either way!

Kudos to a new era for ResExcellence! You boys have the right mix of talent, time and desire to make it happen, — along with the latest and greatest hardware/software to move forward in a meaningful way. As both a fan and former editor, I wish you the best.

This is great news, I hope. I’m confident the site will look fantastic. But as you and others noticed the last few months of ResEx by reading through the comments, nobody really cares what it looks like… we just want easy to find content, and we want it often. This is where ResEx failed at the end.

What a wonderful day! I’ve been a daily visitor even while ResExcellence has been down.
Can’t tell you how great it is to see the Welcome page. Best wishes and Good Luck.

I’m happy to see that resexellence seems to ressurect!
I’ll come back soon to check out.
Thanks.

As a contributor or Desktops and Icons on the ol’ ResExcellence site, I’m very please to see that it’s going to get a chance at rebirth and resurrection. Like many, ResExcellence had long been one of my daily “must visit” sites and one that when it declined into inactivity was quite disappointing. I know that I submitted a few things that never were posted, and I sure would like to see it get back to its former glory and even get some improvements. Custom icons and quailty desktops were readily available and links to contibutors web sites allowed the site’s visitors to explore a favorite contributors efforts off site. The old formula really worked well – I hope much of that ‘user community’ can be re-established and made to thrive again. I just never found another site that offered the quality and community that ResExcellence had be default because of the nature of the contributions and contributors.

While I never contributed screen shots, I visited those every time they were posted and learned about great little sets of utilities, screen toys, image sites and icon collections that were available elsewhere. That kind of unselfish promotion of other sites and materials also spoke volumes.

Tim

Woo Hoo, This is the first site that loads in my browser everyday. Very excited to see more than a logo on the page.

Good luck with the Takeover

It’s awesome to see all the enthusiasm about this. We’re very excited about our gameplan for the new ResEx and hope you will all be as excited as we are as we reveal more in the coming days! The new ResEx will look great AND offer great features.

I recently went back to this site and was surprised to see it shut down. I’m glad It’s in the right hands. I used the extentive archive of custom screen shots for ideas for my system. I spent countless hours on the site in the past, but like many for some reason I stopped going to it. But I will be looking for the new site!

Great news. I’m especially looking forward to the part where I can read what’s on the page.

Good.

Nice to see resexcellence will be making a triumphant return, it didn’t look great of late…

I am Jor EL! Master of Scheduling!

I have been clicking on my ResEx bookmark everyday for the past er years and years, even when it was down, even when it was just a forum. There are days when I was looking for a specific type of icon set, or wanted a quirky new app, and rather the trudge through the minutia of MacUpdate or Interfacelift I wanted my ResEx, I cannot wait until it is back…
Is there going to be a mailing list or info for former contributors, such as myself, if we could/should upload our ‘jazz’ again?

It’s funny how so many of us would return to the old neighborhood on a daily basis to see if our old friend had come back around.

This is a site of nostalgia for many of us. We grew up here, made friends here, and we learned here. Like a school. ResEX I hope will kinda remain “old school”, we don’t need a lot of bells & whistles, we desire the content & resources and with that were happy.

Looking forward to the reunion!

Cheers

Wow! This is great news, ResEX was my favorite site for years, and like most things you don’t realize how much you use something till its gone (I’ve been checking the link for months now hoping to see something here!). I wish you goodluck, and please take your time, its better for the site to be delayed a little longer than it to die again.

Finally! I’ve checked it continuously even when it’s been out of commission.

Do yourself a favor and enlist a few people who can make weekly updates on different days for different areas. I have to admit I never dove into the RealBasic column, but it was good to have and I always knew there were other things to get my attention and keep me a regular visitor.

It would be great if you could get into the inner mechanics of the GUI in OS X in a similar way to how ResEx pried open OS 9 with ResEdit. Even “basic” tutorials. That aspect never seemed to materialize (at least for me). Could be the info was already considered found “elsewhere,” but shouldn’t ResEx have the best of the best?

And best of luck to restoring the site to its former glory!

ResEx is back! Party time

Ahhhh the SCREENSHOTS section! That was the best part, in my opinion. I found more cool applications just by looking at the screenies!

urgggggghhhhhh. the best site on the earth has died only to be rebron. can not wait!!!!

ResExcellence will never die…
For as long as there is an Apple in use, there will be a happy little user wanting to modify it.
ResExcellence is synonymous with modifying Macs.
(I’m sure it says so in my thesaurus)
I am glad to see my old familiar friend breathing again.
Good luck to all those working on reviving the site.
Dragon Tongue

Just wanted to add my wishes of good luck to you guys! I do think ResEx is now safe and will be well taken care of. Wonder if Bryan and Chris are gonna wish you good luck too?… Nah, guess not.

ResExcellence was one of my favorite and most visited sites on the net. I owe the members and community much thanks for all their help and knowledge. I am extreamly happy to see that this site is not dead. It was very sad that ResExcellence had to shut down, but it appears that it is comming back and by the looks of it, stronger then ever.

I do have a question, I was wondering if some of the old content is going to be saved? Or will we have to resubmit it.

-Tim

I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE FINAL LAYOUT!!!

What a wonderful surprise!
I hope that ResEx comes back to life and allows all of the wonderful contributors to add their flair.

every day, i’ve been coming to resex, in hopes to see an update. i’m very happy to see that resex is on it’s way back and will hopefully start having content/forums within a month. i know how busy people’s lives can get, but after months of waiting, i really hope something more is put up soon.

The RSS links in the footer are empty. Those included in for auto discovery are just fine. If something changes or when the site goes live, please be sure to send out a notice to the current feeds beforehand.

Can’t wait to see ResEx up and running again!

I’m very excited to see what you guys at Unsanity will build from this site. I visit the site daily, always hoping to see it reborn and alive. A lot of thanks to everyone who’s been making this come true.

Alex

Well, I am really glad to see that something is coming back here…

Resexcellence.com was a daily stop for me in my morning routine. I can’t wait to see what comes next for you and the resexcellence users.

I really hope that the additions section is made more fluid. Maybe something like Deviantart, but for mac peeps only?

R

w00t! Thank you so much for the continued effort to bring ResExcellence back. Its been a boring internet without it. Thanks for the update.

What’s with faint, barely discernible, gray text on black background. Please change to something that’s readable.

BTW, glad to see someone’s doing something constructive to resurrect the site.

Cheers

ResEX 4 OsX !! Bravo!! Viva XX!!

dis some good sheet

It’s about time tbh. I’m one of those people that came to the site daily, hoping for something different than the crappy white screen + old logo. I really must say thank you for getting this site to go back to its former glory.

Je consulte votre site tous les jours. Il prouve votre attachement à l’esprit “resedit”, celui de modifier et de s’approprier le monde “mac” tout en le respectant. Il est aussi une réelle plus-value de “l’esprit” de nos machines préférées.
Je vous souhaite un avenir radieux et plein succès dans vos projets.

No, no, no, I don’t think you understand. You STOLE ResEx. You RUINED it. You DESTROYED a great community. I have been going to ResEx since the first week it was online, you’re a shame to what used to be my favorite stop on the web I’d check twice a day.

We need ResExcellence GUI Goodness. A part of my life has been missing since it went away Godspeed ResExcellence!

Benji… please lay off the coffee. This is not the doods who made res ex a wiki. These guys are taking it back.

…and for that I am grateful.

This Canadian can’t wait till you’re back up! Kudos to Scott Chitwood and thank goodness those other two butchers are gone!

Just thought I’d take a second to let you know that I’m pumped about Unsanity’s acquisition (I’ve loved Unsanity a long time and feel super confident that this will become an equally well maintained and organized site).

Also, in terms of “word-spreading” I wanted to tip you all off to a post I wrote up over at MacShadows.com:

Clicky

Thought a little cross-site interaction might do us all some good

I have to say that I am really excited about Unsanity and you have taken over and believe we are in good hands!! Glad to finally see a heartbeat.

Great move!! I’m excited to see that resexcellence will be back!! i checked the site everyday and was pleasnatly surprised 2day when something other than just the logo came up!!

WTF. I was never really in favor of the last owner of ResExcellence, but at least he kept some things up, and especially the forums were still there. But then people have to go and shoo him away and get someone else. But you guys took down everything. Even the forums, one of my most favored and most treasured mac communities. And all this “We’ll be back” crap pissed me off. Show us what you have done, give us some news for us to gauge where you are. You kept us way too much into the dark. And this being run by Unisanity actually isn’t that great. Sometime down the road is going to do something that isn’t wrong, but Unisanity isn’t going to like it, so they won’t allow it on the site. In the end, you have just lost a longtime ResEx reader.

Dissapointed – Some clarification is in order…. we didn’t “take down” anything. We acquired the site in a completely dead/dormant state. So us putting anything online is more than what was there when we acquired it.

As for the Unsanity involvement, you might want to read the post after this one to clear up your confusion there. But your point does stand, the new owners might not like something… but how is that different from *any* owners? Hopefully when we open the doors, what we do with the site will speak for itself.

I had not checked this site in quite awhile and it was like a sucker punch when I noticed it was gone. I hope you resurect the resexcellence!

It’s good to see ResExcellence back out on the playing field! Let’s make this time be the sucessful re-launch of the mighty ResEx!!

I ran the GUI mod website Aquamakeover when ResEx was still around. ResEx was the perfect community for people who wanted to customize every aspect of their OS.

While I would like to see a new design hitherto it’s been nothing but empty promises.

So please, if you’re taking over ResEx, again, do it fully, not just but up a pretty face and let it sit there while a huge archive of Desktop Pictures, mods and the whole forum rots away!

Bring back Coyle!

I hope you change the stylesheet. This grey text on black background is somewhat painful to read on my monitor.

i dont know who did it but who ever did they f***ed up a good site what a shame and excuse my cuss i felt it was due, you needn to get this site back to where it was there was no other site that could compare to reexcellence

[...] Now go to it and read the post. [...]

Hello, I’m Brian Jones that wrote and played all of those songs “Back in the DAY>> BullCrap.. Look at the picture on the first page that shows these guys.. Unless he was given a facelift and put into a time machine to look 25 years old this guy is full of crap.. NONE of those guys is “THE” Bryan Wilson.. Just another lie…The way these guys talk about apple and Steve Jobs you can see there is NO LOVE LOST there.. “Fruit Purveyor” and “Like Apple we are going to say it will be done when it’s done”.. I don’t know whewre you’ve been but Steve actually gives everyone a date that they “THINK” it will be done.. You guys don’t give anyone anything but UNCHECKABLE promises that you are doing “SOMETHING” Oh it’s going to be this and it’s going to be that.. ANYONE can SAY stuff like that and just because you can wrap your mouth around the words don’t make it so.. What proof have you given ANYONE that you are doing ANYTHING… NO ONE that’s who…so unless you can show us ssomething then you’re wasting our time..

Wow… lol…
Anyhow. I actually laughed that someone 2 posts up actually is “looking forward” to something these guys might produce. lol. Did they get the memo? *sigh*
