greatest web site we had ever seen

After filling in an hour reading the Billyboy / Flash Website saga, the last post by John Cline had the above subject line in it.

It got me thinking. What better way than to wile away a few quiet hours at work than surfing the recommended best sites from members of this forum?

So: What's the best web site you've ever seen?

URLs please, not descriptions!

Cheers,

Andy

That would be the "Klipsch Speaker Forum Site".

eBay. It is fast, and functional and completely avoids all the ridiculous animations and graphics that burden so many sites. I use a T1 line that I have all to myself, so I have the ultimate in bandwidth, and I still don't like the time it takes for all this junk to load. Plus it makes it difficult to find what I need and get on with life.

I will note that eBay made money from day one, and from an economic point of view is the most successful web site ever. Second place isn't even close.

What do they charge you for the T1 line?

I love ign.com. Their designers have come a long long way in the last couple of years and everything they do these days is slick and nice. :)

We're flattered. Jason Abbot deserves the credit for that one.... He designed the resource site with our input. For a small, non revenue driven site, it is indeed a pretty sweet, but simple site. Groveling cheerfully accepted. Suggestions also gratefully accepted.

I think Ebay, Amazon, and Auralex.com are all part of my favorite site indexes. Mixes of Flash, HTML, great cookie management, intelligent content and access.
I like the Sony site too, believe it or not. Fast access to subjects I want to find from one of the monolithic companies out there.

I get it free. One of the perks of having been in the computer business for so long.

Grazie,

Reminds me of my favorite bumper sticker from the early 70s (when that book was popular): "I'm OK, you're so-so."

HAH -JM . .. Never saw that one . . very good! ! ! . . LOL!

. . .and yes, there is a place for that response too ! !

"Look what I do to help people and then this happens! "

Once ON the Drama Triangle we all visit all parts of it . .. The option is not to get ON in the first place . . .

. .. hmmm...

Grazie, can you do the human race a favor and sent your book to BB. You can cross out the first couple of words if you like.

Best regards,

Was she trying to tell you something?? :)

That's not so bad.
My psychologist gave me a book called "You're not OK, and you never will be!"
I keep thinking he's trying to tell me something. Guess I'll ask him at our next session.

That was a line from "Dodgeball" with Ben Stiller, wasn't it? "I'm OK, and you never will be?"

Jason: Maybe mum was trying to tell me something.

Then again, my mother in law gave me a poster once: Diplomacy is the art of telling people to go to Hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.

My wife had it laminated!

I think there's a message in that for all of us! :)

Spot... don't know, never saw the movie. I just made that up. Didn't think I was stealing someone else's thunder.

Andy, I LOVE that definition. Zoink! I'll steal THAT and use it!

I seem to recall a question WAAYYY up there about one of the better sites you've seen. I must say I really like the mood and design of this one....

I love this kind of moody visuals and music.....but that's me.
