You might suggest to them that a site not requiring a plugin just to
enter might make it available to more viewers!

I wonder if this is the same gang thats been stripping turf off fields?

I hope so - they picked on the wrong bloke a short time back and have
since recieved appropriate hospital treatment I hear :)

Quite, I can see nothing but a huge blank pane asking for a plugin... I
wonder how much of the rest of the site uses the plugin? Very poor web
design not to have a) an option to "skip the intro" (they get boring
after the second viewing) b) a way to view the site that is at least half
standards compliant. Form, over content and accessibility yet again.

not sure which it is. but it has active wossname on it, so it's probably
flash or something. It's obviously something I already have.

I was gonna say that it's Macromedia Flash and that is hardly a rarity
on the web these days.

I wouldn't worry, it's not actually the kind of site that has any kind
of practical use other than to provide a bit of a laugh. The posting
coming from Lee adds to its credibility though for those just reading
the usenet message!

Not available for my OS... I don't think I've seen any informational site
that has had any real value added by the use of flash, more often than
not it gets in the way or becomes very tedious. Particulary so if the
whole site is flash based as you have to sit through the same animations
every time you reload a page.

I guess it makes money for web "designers" as on an inital one off
showing to a not particulary web aware client they do look very flash.

I only have an older version - but I'd not have it on anyway, like
you say it gets in the way of the info. I'm on dail-up at home, so
I never get to see such sites - I've better things to do with my life...

Says it all really! Phrases like "Graceful degradation" come to my
mind, but sadly not to a lot of so-called "designers".

I'm pretty sure I've tried it some time in the last 4 years and it didn't
work with OS/2 Warp 3 and the version of Mozzilla I had at that time.
