Hi

Okay this is the WORST website i have seen in ages. http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbsite/
although i think this maybe a student website

JacobHaug · Jun 24th, 2007, 06:43

Wow, that is a little weird. I am kinda scared.

cyclone2876 · Jun 24th, 2007, 06:44

I mean: lets go all over the web looking for animated gifs for our websites!
that is a really cool idea!

I think it is too. I'm not the best webdesigner, but I'm sure I can't even do that bad

Visit the index of that domain. I think it's definitely a joke. The actual site is pretty swanky and very funny. The character work is awesome. I wonder who is responsible for all this.

er.. what happens if you dont have flash?

pa007 · Jun 30th, 2007, 20:25

Then you don't see how spiffy it is I guess. Shame, cos it is quite spiffy.

i have flash - just making an example of the bad design

cyclone2876 · Jun 30th, 2007, 23:51

hmmm... maybe http://www.homestarrunner.com/main2.html hosted the website so they have got like a sub domain so thats why the joke websites domain is http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbsite/

The use of frames is very bad on that site. Someone already mentioned but it doesn't have any alternative if you don't have flash, although the flash is quite good in itself

Please enlighten me. How do you make flash games playable to those without flash installed and the animations too? You could probably work around the animations but you would still require a plugin to play them. If you're building a site that requires a plugin then you pick a one that something like 90% of web users have installed. I never thought I'd become 'Defender of Flash' but you're just being inreasonable. In my eyes his decision to go with flash is an excellent one.

I've got flash - I'm just saying that since the entire site (or certainly the entrance to it) only uses flash, then he/she could at the very least have a download flash link. The owner should really make it clear that flash is required for the site. The web needs to be accessible to all

The point of home star's website is to be flash. If you don't have it, don't go. Although I do agree with you as far as the display an alternate page if flash is not installed. Like download flash now.
