I pretty much hate flash. I have it blocked by default. Putting flash on a site gives it a 90% chance that I will never see any of the content.

Well I believe that everything has its pros and cons. If a site had a simple thing to say, basically an online commercial, then flash is perfect. But if it wants people to see what its offering without the sales pitch, then its a drawback. IMHO of course

That is why the best sites are comining php with flash. Flash logos, menus and some animations, and the real content comes in php.

I think use of flash must be limited to animation or online game in a site.
DHTML+ javascript with the use of dynamic request to the server can give a very good sensation to the user, and with low cost. I think flash is too heavy, IHMO.

Really like your new site Gandalf, and always liked your old site as well. As far as Flash goes, I hate it 99% of the time. For example, I used to pop over to the Total War home page to check for news on the series, but they recently upgraded "To The New-Look". I have dsl, but I have to wait for the animations to load before I can see the news. Give me content over Flash any day. (Keep it simple!)

Just my opinion.

Well Nerfix is handling the layout. The domain was just sitting there (like a dozen others I have). I appreciate the kick-in-the-ascii he has given the site. It will give me a place to attach all the insane things I will create for Dom3 that tends to make Johan shake his head and wonder about my stability.

The site is coming along great guys!

One suggestion is maybe an area which contains some screenshots... this can help lure new gamers.
