why do people hate flash so much?

I don't like it because I like simple, clean pages. It's fine for stuff like online cartoons or whatever, but I like sleek, small web sites.

Huh? You slept with a blank face? :Q 😱 😱 😱 😱 That's freaky. Please don't make me scarier of nerds. 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 You mean you had a secret crush on me? :Q 😱 😱 😱 😱

Oh, by the way, I wouldn't filter it 'cuz I learned my lesson the hard way once. I used the pixelise option once and someone tried to trace it back! It also became the person's comic. I would rather no clues of any kind were left.

You can also use the mosaic, or stained glass or other filters. Show some creativity...

Anywyas. I think the 007 site is better than the German one. The 007 one is newer. I am working on a new one, but its for a friend. Its a portfolio and I think it looks amazing. Unfortunately I can't share it with the rest of you, because of her privacy. When I get a chance, I want to design a new site for myself. I also need to update the old and current ones.
 
"SHUT THE FVCK UP! ALL YOU POST IS GARBAGE!"

Hey, I should remind you of your contract, hon'. I know you're so desperate for my attention, since you have a crush on me. But cool it down and stick with your agreement. You don't want people thinking of you as a flaker/deal breaker. Here's a reminder of the contract: Love Monkeypox. Memory should be refreshed now.

Hey! Maybe you should read that thread! Ms. Threadhijacker! Stop changing the subject here. I asked a question about flash and am also curious what people think of my site. Not what you and Millenium want to argue about. So stop provoking him and trying to hijack my thread.

*Smacks Luvly on the ass*
 
I don't like the whole flash thing, but I think the pictures are wonderful.

Cool, but that's if I could trust your judgment. 😉 Maybe you could fool my mum and do a flash site for her, so she wouldn't pressure me to design a site for her. 😱 😛 You imagine I'm assumed to know everything about the 'net.

Well I hope your web designs are better than your photoshop skills 😛 Then again, you hate flash sites, so you wouldn't ever visit your mothers? You sure visited mine in a hurry though 😛

Hey, I'm not provoking him! I didn't even say anything to him earlier. He started the attention begging phrase. I just wanted to remind him of the contract. I have no intent to further the discussion with him.

I guarantee you, my skills are better than yours. When I set my mind to do something, I do pretty well. 😛 You can call me something close to a perfectionist. It isn't always a good thing, though.

LMAO thanks for the bedtime humor Luvly. From what ive seen from your "skills" I dont have much to worry about. Maybe you should stick to the traditional/proper places for a female such as the kitchen or laundry room. 😉

A contract? God you are a dense idiot. All I did is say I wouldn't respond to anymore posts of yours. Little did I know that your stupidity would continue and you assail one of my friends. There is no "contract" and I still think you are a freakin lunatic that needs severe help.

P.S. Sorry Gobadgrs, but I can't stand that she attacks you and everyone else and then acts like she is doing us a favor.

Or in her case: over the toilet puking her guts out.
 
"Little did I know that your stupidity would continue and you assail one of my friends."

LMAO! Obviously you don't know the definition of contract. Look at your mirror, hon', 'cuz you look and sound crazier and crazier everyday. Hope others in real life can help you. Even your supposed friend has said you should chill, didn't perceive my post as an attack and actually indicated that he didn't appreciate you changing the subject of his thread. Now, kiss off, baby Millennium. Your mental state of mind is premature and your tantrum is unbearable. I'm through with you until one day, perhaps when you're old, you grow up.

Gobadgrs, I guarantee you that I will no longer respond to Millennium or anyone with identical characteristics within your thread. Sorry that your thread was the chosen spot for Millennium's tirade.

Actually, he only asked me to stop posting because it was destroying his thread. It didn't have anything to do with his perception of you. You are as much of a stuck up twat to him as you are to me. Anyways, I won't derail his thread anymore, but I know you will have to get in the last word. You always do.

Actually, I warned you not to try and hijack the thread. I told Millennium to go easy, or hed easily provoke you into hijacking it. Mill, thanks for your concern, but I knew Luvly was joking around. The sweet sweet irony is me getting a lecture on photos from someone who puts a big black box on all of hers 😛 Couldnt even make it interesting, just a big black box... then she has the nerve to tell me her skills are better than mine 😛 Just no reasoning with some people. *shaking head* Well I'm off to bed now. Maybe the power will go out in Cali tomorrow if I'm lucky. Then I can post in peace 😉

Well, what do you guys and gals think of my site?

It looks good, but it does hit a bunch of my personal pet peeves. (Though not too hard.) The flash intro is cute, but it is pretty long and it wasn't obvious at first that the little arrow was a "skip intro" function. I'm not fond of having new windows pop up with each mouse click (four windows to get to a picture), I don't generally care for nonstandard navigation functions that are left out like a puzzle for the visitor to decipher, and not having the standard navigation and informational window functions bugs me (which is another complaint I have about flash in general).

All that being said, it's pretty clean and it works and I can certainly see it being a portfolio/demo piece.

I didn't understand the links page, though; the only function that seemed to have any effect was the button on the phone that cleared the screen. That didn't seem like a very useful function. Also, the second picture in the second German album came up as a broken graphic.
 
The same reason people hate frames.
Because too many sites are designed with it and happen to be sh!tty. Nothing to do with flash, but rather people getting paid to produce crap w/ it.
 
Well, I like flash when it doesnt suck 😀

I like your page - btw, the population of Frankfurt a.M. is only like 750000

oh and your Germany time is off by one hour (too low) - the time posted is GMT....

Yea, I never got around to changing it. It had to do with daylight savings time and things getting all goofed up, becaue it bases the Germany time off the clock in your computer.

Bump for the morning crowd.
