- mfearby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Bubbelwrap? Pixel Gasoline? Should I waste my time exploring the rest of this ill-conceived list? Both of these pages are nothing more than silly, Flash-bloated, annoyances that belong in both the internet and usability halls shame!

Mirrored for Phil Renaud http://www.philrenaud.com - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1...and please people....STOP using the word sexy for design. It's sooooo tired.
- philrenaud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1oh wow. I've been dugg to death!
Sorry about the site being down... Really wasn't expecting this kind of volume, but it's appreciated. I will see what I can do about getting things up and running again soon (At the university currently, will do it when I get home).
Otherwise, it IS loading... just very slowly. And check the madewith.com mirror of the list here: http://www.madewith.com/35-sexiest-designed-websites-youve-forgotten/
Thanks for the support, the diggs, the comments, and the criticism. It's all very fantastic. - BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Pixel Gasoline is amazing. I'd definately choose them if I were designing a website.
- onelinestudio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hey Phil.. Welcome to digg .. hope your ready this could get few diggs!..
BTW .. where's www.mixtaping.com at? - SilverRocket, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Flash websites suck. SUCK!
The CSS sites are nice. - ThePhilomath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Some very good designs there,...but too much flash!
- Blacklaser, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have to agree with mfearby. Most of these sites look cool at first, but really from a usuability point of view the vast majority sucks. Also if you look closer, say if you actually navigate through the sites a lot of them expose very basic design flaws... at first glance eyecatching but that's about it.
- tarun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Site down!
- HyperX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0what about www.2advanced.com that looks heaps cool :P
- kungfustickman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.fullasagoog.com/mxdu/mxdu2005_02.htm
Some funny stuff... - onelinestudio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cool Phil.. thats kinda like a Digg.com exclusive.. can't wait to see/use the site when it is finished.. I am sure that will be another big Digg if you know what I mean.
- mr804, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0He must still be "rebooting" cause I get connection refused.
- decades, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I haven't been able to get onto this site all day, and I doubt that I'm the only one...
- philrenaud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0psssst: if you REALLY wanna know what mixtaping.com's going to be all about, visit the (Generally Nonfunctional) Mixtaping Test Site: http://contrakarma.com/mixtesting/
Just to see the design and get a glimpse of it, though. It'll be up and ready in due time (Nov. 1) :) - onelinestudio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I told you to be ready!
- ifonly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0diggeffect, wont load for me!
- pigsbladder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0holy crap I know the dude from avalonstar
- SirThom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The site has been dugg.
- UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I had a dream about CSS last night and I was told by my old design professor that an upcoming economic slump will make CSS obsolete. ???
- bloodwings, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dugg to death, site down.
- Billistic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man, notice how all the sites almost look exactly the same? Most of them use flowers on their site. They're all basically ripping off Joshua Davis of praystation.com.
There I said it. - renegade334, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hmm, digg effect
- onelinestudio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0now i feel bad for Phil .... here is a mirror ..
http://www.madewith.com/35-sexiest-designed-websites-youve-forgotten/ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+099% wackness
- marbant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+090% of these sites are to be found at http://screenspire.com
- burrhead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0good to hear about usability.
For those that don't like a certain site can you explain why? - ThePharaoh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, some excellent sites. I really wish my skills with CSS were this good. I gotta redesign my sites !

http://www.freneticphoto.com - PissedGodzilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0can't get it to load... hrm....
- Blacklaser, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hehe thx moondew

- Massif, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I know a lot of these sites go for form over function. Most of them are absolutely horrible to navigate. However, I am absolutely amazed by Enjoy Green Grass. It's flash (yeah flash sucks for websites, boo hoo) but it is just a beautiful experience.

http://www.newstoday.com/ - joeyjojo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0a good way to get gratuitous use of Flash out of your system. ;o)
Nice stuff. - Muta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 Very few of those are actually anywhere NEAR sexy. Most are just crap.
- moondew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I agree completely with Blacklaser. To quote..."Most of these sites look cool at first, but really from a usuability point of view the vast majority suck. Also, if you look closer, say if you actually navigate through the sites a lot of them expose very basic design flaws... at first glance eyecatching but that's about it."
- Syni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks like I'm getting the 2nd-level-digg effects. o_o;
Thanks Phil! - mortal-god, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's hot!
it had to be said - McZiggz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1all this stuff is gay
- philrenaud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0well, i'm home now. Site's back up and running fine. Altogther I think we dished out something like 4gb in bandwidth today. It's all very crazy to think about.
Thanks to everybody for both criticisms and nice comments, all are appreciated! - onelinestudio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0well you will notice that that is one of the problems here on digg.. people can tag a post as spam, duped, lame ,or a bad link (which i guess could of been the problem) I think some people just tag post for the hell of it or way to soon.. imo.
Not sure if this is related to this post or not but my server burned a HD today! Required a complete restore our hosting service is still working on it. - philrenaud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0aaaaaaand this seems to have mysteriously disappeared from everything Digg. What gives?
- philrenaud, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0heh
mixtaping.com is coming for the CSS reboot. It will be my Magum Opus if all goes well.
