Gsw's worked fine for me in IE.... Though the bottom scroll bar annoyed the heck out of me :x lol, not being able to fully scroll to the right is evil....ya...eeevil.....anyway, I'm a fan of flash, no matter what complications it may cause...Its visually stimulating and...fun...Flash games themselves are cool at times :wink:

// Oh, and you mentioned that you are forced to load an entire flash movie, even if you don't want to... I wouldn't have normally addressed this but since you say it's such a huge design flaw I had to. There are very simply ways (and most people effectively use them) to externally load movie clips so that only what is being viewed, or about to be viewed is loaded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A lot of people new to Flash don't do this though. They like to cut corners (You really should've seen some of the assignments last semester.. shocking).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can see your point about AS though, but I take it as it stands. Untill it is officiall decalred a web language by the W3C, it won't be much more than a multimedia plugin. Not exactly elitist or unfair, IMO, just presenting the language as it is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Granted you can do some fairly impressive stuff with it but in the end the user comes first IMO (See Hannibals post for reference).

 

 

 

Your point is taken and acknowledged with fair game. Design the site the suit the need (as I like to stick by) and don't really do anything you don't have to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think we could both agree there are too many people like that who go overkill with any design sometimes :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

@Kane: I like that site. Has a good balance to it. Nice and clean aswell.

 

 

 

The news frame maks it look a bit cluttered though... ah well, still nicely made.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

@unknownmasterofnothing: dontclick.it is quite nice. Interface could've been a bit less sensative though... other than that. One of the few flash websites I'll probably remember for good reasons :P

Definatedly not Runescape? :lol:

well the graphics of the skeleton is good, i don't like the design though. The hi score stuff is beyond me though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I agree most flash sites are mostly designed to amaze the viewer, like advertisements or someones portfolio. Most information based websites use html/css/etc.. to design their sites because its easier to update their site and might not want ppl to wait so long to load a page.

wow, im amazed to see how people can be so biased, even spiteful. flash websites are among some of the best sites i have seen. id much rather see a good design with an animated interface, than a static site. and to say using flash is taking the easy way out is just plain ignorant. personally, i think many of you dont have a clue on what good design is made of.

Or perhaps you're just more into eyecandy than actual good design?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good design isn't just about making things flashy, it's about presenting content in a way that's both good-looking, and user-friendly. Flash sites do look cool, I won't deny that. But they just aren't very condusive to browsing lots of content..

I challenge everyone here to find the perfect balance between the two, form and function meets fun and flowery :D

Btw, do you guys (GSW mainly, and others that arent as much into flash) believe that there is a possibility of a good mixture?

Or perhaps you're just more into eyecandy than actual good design?

 

 

 

A design can be defined as "a decorative or artistic work".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Furthermore, the subject of this topic is "Best looking websites".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yes, I want to look at a website with an impressive design, even if it was made in one program opposed to another.

very innovative design as well as a very clean and simple to use information delivering technique

True, but he was arguing that flash was "good design", so..

Looks like a ripoff of phpbb.com to me.. phpbb.com is a good site, though.
