Flash intro page?
#1
The Flash intro page was initially done just as a placeholder for the site that is now evolving. Since it was a standalone page, I thought that some animation would add a little bit of interest and fun. And I'd never worked with Flash before, and wanted a test project, so that's how it came to pass.

Some of us apparently detest Flash as a useless waste of time and bandwidth - and when it's overkill, that's been my opinion as well.

Generally, when an intro page is no longer fun, I bypass it by simply bookmarking the pages I really want to get to. In the case of the MystOnline.com site, I long ago bookmarked the forums and just go straight to them.

So is the roughly 5-second intro page on the writers-guild.org site a keeper?
Or should it be ditched?

(This also acts as a test for a polling function within MyBB - this poll is set up with no time limit, and should display the names and votes of all participants.)

Personally, I love pointless flashy things. If it was up to me, the whole site would use flash. Of course, that would be completely impractical and unfair.

I think it looks really good and it does have the option to bypass it if you want.

Well, it's a moot point now!
Flash is DEAD!

And the website - along with its obsolete Flash intro - is closed for the time being, until we get way too much time on our hands (unlikely!) and can become proficient wuth HTML5 animations.... Rolleyes
