Getting over Flash
Zeldman and Nielsen helped make the internet safe for banking and commercial sites, but all I ever wanted to make was animation. Flash was great for that purpose.
- Fullscreen Flash sites are where it’s atprophetone
- Their role in turning the internet into a template based visually poor environment is unquestionable.sted
- where discovery lasts as long as research data allows.sted
- Pick any site from https://www.awwwards… and it's evolved Flash 110%.
Envelope still being pushed.ideaist - very slowlysted
- it's interesting, by the way, I think the Asian internets was not so suffocated by thissted
- I doubt Jakob Nielsen actually had that much influence, he was just good at marketing himself.yuekit
- His influence is more on UX education, in a direct and indirect way.sted

funny, I've never once gotten into an argument on QBN. when someone posts something I don't like, I just downvote it and move on. I just don't follow the notes on my posts too closely.
i think the people who are fighting simply like to fight. they don't bother me too much. more than 11 notes? just don't read 'em

QBN Suggestion Box
As you see i_monk and Nairn, it's not just me that grafician goes after, it's other users, cities, barrios, countries, music, user's work, the way they look, and so on.
Credit where it’s due: grafician has posted solid design and industry content. He clearly has the capacity to contribute meaningfully here.
But lately, that’s been eclipsed by something far more troubling, a growing pattern of obsession, hostility, and psychological unraveling that this community is, frankly, enabling.
What kicked it off this time? A basic, factual mention of Romanian ghettos. Not an insult, not a smear, just a post. And from there, grafician spun out into a full-blown tantrum that spilled across multiple threads, ranting about U.S. crime, Trump, MAGA, Michigan, speech laws, anything to shift the spotlight away from his bruised pride and onto someone else’s flaws.
This isn’t debate. It’s emotional displacement in real-time. It’s compulsive and escalating. And as long as we let it slide, under the excuse that he sometimes posts worthwhile things, we are helping him go further off the rails.
QBN isn’t just a community; it’s also a mirror. And for someone as fragile and reactive as grafician, that mirror is feeding a loop of outrage and instability. He’s not processing ideas here, he’s performing breakdowns.
If grafician wants to stay, he should be focusing on what he’s capable of: creative work, constructive thought, meaningful discussion. But if he continues using this space to vent his personal insecurities through antagonism and nationalism, then it's not just bad for us, it’s clearly bad for him too.
This isn’t about silencing someone. It’s about recognizing when someone is using a public platform to deteriorate, and drawing a line for their sake as much as ours.
- Man handle yourself better and stop with the bickering.
So it's not okay when I post, but when you do, all goes?
I am just posting facts.
Accept, move ongrafician - There's plenty of users here having nice discussions, contributing creative stuff, learning and growing - it's only you monospaced and palimpsest lately...grafician
- ...that just antagonize and barely contribute anything useful
Do you see me bickering with other users?grafician - 1. Get over it, this is teh interwebs. Your attempt to police it is futile.curiouscat
- So stfu and contribute something useful, instead of complaining all the time
Good luck!grafician - 2. There have been many grafician's before grafician on QBN. There will be many more.curiouscat
- 3. You have provided grafician with exactly the reaction and response he's looking for. Golf clapcuriouscat
- Ah damn, you fucked up my flow grafician. Now it's personal!curiouscat
- Someone posted about ghettos and you went nuts. End of story.canoe
- My bad curiouscat we posted at the same time :)))
I was talking to canoe not you lolgrafician - I was kidding grafician, insert sarcasm here...curiouscat
- He doesn't really get... itcanoe
- Bitch please. I don’t antagonize you, I posted some news articles and you got insanely butt hurt over it and started throwing a fucking tantrum. Drama queen.monospaced
- If you haven’t noticed, you’re by far the most shit kicking knowitall twerp here by a long shot, you’re condescending af, and your work is junior. Fuck off.monospaced
- Just looks at yourselves...whois the drama, queen?grafician
- another meandering screed from canoe. you can almost imagine the tears dropping onto the page, dissolving the ink as its written.face_melter

I think you meant verbose?canoe - And the crying, and the ink dissolving... hehehehe... totally. All of that... even the wretched coffee breath and blood shot eyes; with a sobbing whimpercanoe
