what I love to hate
 

:rant:adult flash sites (pay or affiliate areas)
and not just sites that have flash but i mean an entire interface built around flash with all the fancy-schmancy swish sounds and beeps and boops like its all hi-tech and shit....
ya know what?
seriously
that shit died a well deserved death like in 1999
so when i go to a site that has all flash... thats exactly what I think... its all flash and no guts... and when it launches new windows or takes over my browsers i am disinclined to do ANYTHING with that company EVER in the future....... so FUCK OFF!:rant:

I agree.

My favorite words ever since flash came to be have been "skip intro".

Flash is the web equivalent of putting a spoiler and hood scoop on a hyundai.

nothing wrong with making a Hyundai go faster. LOL

My pet peeve is sound on adult sites. Imagine, some guy holed up in the corner or his office enjoying a little stimulation and all of a sudden some chick is yelling "Fuck me". He is so busted. Bad for business.

"You have reached the super secret website of......" that fucking talking add cost some one i KNOW their job. I didn't understand why it was popular back then I never met a single person either webmaster or surfer who liked those adds

ok,? So if Im understanding this correctly, it's a "no-no" to embed flashy Hyundai's with thumbing sounds on adult websites?

Gotcha :okthumb:
Damn, always learnin' something new around here, "U go oprano"

Re: what I love to hate
 

I agree on skipping those stupid flash website intros... it's all just about the designer jerking off to their own work. "Ooohh, look at my design... isn't it just so bad ass?" Completely unnecessary and a waste of time.

Re: what I love to hate
 

oh here is whats worse... the site i was referring to was an affiliate program and there was NO Skip Intro option... the entire site is built on flash!!

my reaction to it was 'neato... geewhiz... cool.... don't you just impress yourself?..."

Agreed! In the adult biz, it's simply fluff and a waste of time (for the most part)....it certainly has it's place in the mainstream world where when launching a new product (automobiles come to mind of course ;-) works beautifully IMO. Oh, they better have the famous "skip intro" placed in plain site tho.
