… thanks, guys.

I saw nothing pornographic on there but I can't say I looked at every one of the crappy, unfunny, juvenile tshirts that were for sale.

No, too difficult to use.  Everything runs together.  It is like one continuous mass of unrelated content that has no way to decipher where one part of the page begins and another begins.  It is hard to read and navigate.

Yeah but I make $5 off of each shirt referral sale I get.  Who am I to tell someone else what he can and cannot wear, especially if I make a buck in the process? :)

Most likely because your filter did not like some of the key words etc.  It is merely an affiliate site that resells t-shirts and makes me $5 off of each shirt sold.

huh, interesting.  one thing that is most notable about the design is the use of colors and patterns to create distinct sections.  

obviously you see what you see and your experience is what it is, but of all the comments one could make i would have thought that "Everything runs together", "continuous mass of unrelated content" and "no way to decipher where one part of the page begins ends and another begins" would be at the bottom of the list.

allow, me to go get something, to drink, to go with the fascinating, conversation.

making money, off the fact that some people are losers?  I, can, support that.

Ugh I can't help myself, but I totally read your posts with pauses where the commas are. WHY.

effect.  everything, I do . . . is for effect.

To me that style actually looks like a massive pile of yellow post it notes randomly stuck on the screen with no concern for readability at all.  The flatness of it makes it horrid.  A little bit of texture (for lack of better term) would go a long way towards making it better.  The whole flat web design is really a poor design and highly unprofessional.

as a web design professional who works with both in-house developers and big-dollar vendors, i'm going to have to disagree with you. 

any chance this whole "flat design" thing is more about your personal preference, and what is easy for you to read?

I do not think so.  The flat design is very much unreadable, wastes terrible amounts of web space, uses extremely limited real content, .  It could be that most flat designers just do not do a very good job of it.  We both know how some designers think that their job is to impress the web user community with all of the cool coding tricks they know rather than build a site that is easy to navigate and intuitive.

Many of the flat pages fall to a number of faults.  One is that they are often coded a single huge run-on page rather than logically segregated into pages of unique content so to speak.  I have seen some flat sites that are one continuous pages that scrolls on and on and just randomly changes from topic to topic.  Other waste so much screen space that content which (properly designed) would fit onto one or at the most two screens, scrolls on forever and ever (see http://www.cpanel.com a TERRIBLE design).  On that page everything is so big and bulky with so little real content (not a lot of useless self advertising) that I would never even consider using their products.  An even worse page is http://www.sprint.com, I would fire any web designer who even suggested a page a poorly designed as that one.  Not only does that page fall to much of the typical shortcomings of flat design, but the use of those horrid squares/tiles and the clashing colors make it difficult to look at let alone use.

these kind of sites are all the rage now and it goes with the way people have changed from browsing sites on a computer to browsing sites on a tablet or phone.

some times it's well done, but I'm a little in the RB camp and these type of sites annoy me
hard to get find the content and it's mostly just showboating
I'm sure the pitch meeting they served Veen water
