I hate hate hate hate sites that require flash. I do not have flash. I have no intension of downloading flash. The quickest way to make me close a site is to give me a cover page that has big broken 'you need to download a plugin to display this' with NO way to browse past it.

I'll warn you people who use it, I go browsing for artwork to use in new projects, and you are automatically disqualified from being invited to participate if I can't actually SEE your artwork.

I agree. Flash, Quick Time, this and that. Keep it as simple as possible.

I agree, that is the quickest way to turn me off a site. As soon as I see it needs fancy extras and I don't have the required programs I'm outta there.

The only thing I have fancy on my front page is a small java script and it doesn't stop you from going through the menu on the side... if it does, I appologise now! :D it works with Firefox, so that's fine with me...

Ack..

haha. i use it. i'm guilty, i'm guilty.
i've been in the middle of building a non-flash version for some time now (the only flash i use is the menu anyways) as i realise some folks like you just don't care for flash.
annoyingly, i've had some total bastards messing around with my internet connection of late, so the new non-flash site is taking a very long time.

but it WILL be there soon, TOTALLY devoid of flash, i promise
