I don't know why you needed to negrep my last post. I was just trying to give you honest advice; autoplaying is a bad idea for the following reasons:
  • People don't expect it when it blasts out of their speakers.
  • It increases the time and bandwidth needed to download the page.
  • If people don't share your tastes in music, it can really turn them off your page.
  • It doesn't add anything to the user experience in accessing your website.
  • Perhaps I'm blind, but I can't see any way to turn it off; thus you're forcing people to actually turn off their computer speakers. The average person would find it easier to close the page than manually turn off their speakers.

A low volume theme of the natural oddworld music wouldn't be too bad.

mate really, remove that music, it scared the sh*t out of me, auto play music is the worst thing anyone could put on a website

Myself, I can't take seriously a site that is made with Freewebs. At least you could choose a bit more comfortable layout for eyes.

same here, and yerh, layout and colours need rethinking

You got insider info or is it other made up info?

Nate 05-31-2009 04:39 AM

I think that perhaps by 'leak' he means 'provide'. Note that he never said it was new CS info.

Scrabtapman,OI made Oddworld Adventures for The Gameboy too. It made 5 Games.

moxco 06-11-2009 10:11 PM

Dammit, there's no good criticisms left!

STM 06-16-2009 08:33 AM

ahhh no noe said nything good but lol i see what you mean and its really taxing to update it all, what music do i need to remove the rock one?

Nate 06-16-2009 06:23 PM

Yes. Remove it and don't replace it with anything.

joshkrz 06-16-2009 06:32 PM

I definatly agree. Autoplay is the worst thing for a website. Also, why don't you try getting a proper host, hosting is pretty cheap nowadays and sometimes all you have to do is buy a domain name and you get free (but usually not that good) hosting.
