What are your thoughts on premade user lookups?

Coding is such a chore, so I empaphise with those who cannot be bothered. I like receiving new neomail about how nice my lookup is though, it makes my day sometimes.

Making your own has perks, but if it's pretty, I can live with that

Yeah, I guess it's nice, but, I sort of feel guilty sometimes when someone asks me to make them one, or help with the coding, and I'm too lazy. 0:)

I don't like them just because I'd rather people be original. I realize not everyone is good with HTML so I don't hate it.. I want to start working on my own soon, and even if my HTML skills aren't up too speed like some of the more gorgeous userlookerups I've seen lately, I'm going to try and learn ^_^

Eh, I think they're pretty spiffy. I'm terrible with HTML, so my look-up is really boring. (Except for the text, yeah, I changed the font and that's all.) So pre-made look-ups can come in handy.

I'm not really annoyed by them. (maybe that's because I don't really check people's look-ups often) I just care about whether it looks nice or not. =D

I always make my own, but I make premades for others as well. (askyre's page, check them out, hinthint) I'm always glad to help people. As long as the premade is well made, I think it's better than plain.

eRr... I don't really hate premade lookups cuz they're good for people to spice up their plain old Neopet lookups and many people don't have HTML skillz.

I wish I wasn't lazy to learn to code/design a userlookup though so I could be original. But ah well. =3

I don't really visit people's lookups anywho. :\

I'm using a premade right now and I was really picky with choosing premades.

They have to be good-looking premades to me and not cover up too much or things like that.

I don't understand why people hate 'em.... I used premade look up coding in order to figure out how to do my own. What I hate is the fact that people claim that yours is premade if you didn't make EVERYTHING yourself... Finding a background in ones files or via a websearch is just as hard/easy as making a background yourself. Yes, you shouldn't claim that you made the background but the lookup isn't premade if YOU put effort in to finding the right images and such. Yes mine uses that blasted halloween sidebar neopets made but that's the only thing that was premade and took ZERO effort to find/do. I plan to make my own when I'm not so swamped with other matters.

I've seena a lot of people have premade lookups that are the same and it's annoying. your lookup should be original telling something about you. and that doesn't ahppen when you just get it off a site. my lookup isn't that pretty, but i made it myself and i like it

I'm using one, making your own is overrated

They are alright I guess.

I remember when those Aeman (sp?) lookups were very popular. I would see everyone with one. ( I even used one for a few weeks)

After I saw practically everyone with them I changed mine.

Infact I haven't seen one of those lookups in months!

As long as it's pretty.

But, yes...mine's premade. If it's the Dark Magician Girl...I use it. ^^

Michelle: Aemaen is actually a PPTer.

I haven't seen a Aemaen in a while, either. I think everyone's using stuff from sepiroth.org/petcare.

I like 'em. I usually use 'em.

I enjoy premade lookups. I haven't been able to sit down and make myself one but if I can find one that relates to something I like, I might use it. I had a premade BloodRayne made for me a while ago but the codes don't work anymore and I have yet to try to change them around to get them to work.
