thats my old flash intro when i was still learning(2002). Sound and idea jacked from 2advanced but i created the whole content myself.

i'll have a TA intro up after i finish finals....and then see what you guys think. And don't worry, i won't jack anyone's idea, I have a BUNCH of animation ideas to make you have goosebumps.

I hope its not put as an intro movie to TA then, but as an "about movie"
or whatever. No offense to anyone but if i want to see a movie i
visit the cinema, if i want to hear a tune i listen to the vinyl.

if i want to discuss with people i head for the forum, i dont wanna
watch some slowloading flashmovie that will prolly require a new component
to download everytime i "want" to watch it.

can't u guys wait til i make some of it and then judge it from there?

Well, why wait?
Several have expressed that we feel that the site gets slower, that
flash is unnecessary, requires more plugins and is just a unnecessary
distraction. Im sure you can make a good flashmovie, but it doesnt
matter if the purpose of it doesnt fill a function vital to the site.

as a 56k modem user i have sites which use flash with a vengence, what creates a good website is content, not pretty animations with lil whistles and flashing lights

if swampz sayz no, its no. also as a 56k abuser flash is crap. i agree totally with mr.mystery

When I go to a webpage I want to go straight into it. I don't want to watch a fucking mini-movie if I want to go to a messageboard.

Intros are only designed to distract people from a poorly made site.

Not trying to be rude or mean here but....

Erm, TA has a splash page...ur still not going straight into it...and besides, just put a skip intro link at the bottom, it would be basically the same.

And, intros aren't only for poorly made sites...intros are for setting the mood of the site....

besides, 100k intro isnt that bad...is it?

it is for 56k users and also it will create additional strain on the server which the flash files are located, and the trafic generated from the downloads and the forums is all ready stressing the servers now, so a extra 100k per visiter (there are 1000's of visiters a day) will result in more server costs

i think a nice intro wud be a good advert for new people to the site.
