I was having a play arround with a flash editor and have come up with a spash screen for AMD Users before entering main site :D you can have a look at it here. (http://amdusers.yourprivatespace.com) It dose have sound as well. Post any commits below please :D

Well, I think it looks great. A little slow at first though. I know nothing about flash. You might want to make the delay between "Welcome" and "to" a bit shorter. Really liked the look of it. Couldn't hear the sound on this machine though. :-(

Nice work nickth.
I agree with KeithW, a little slow at first. Sound is great. I'd change the text to say Welcome ... to ... AMD Users.com ... Distributed Computing Team instead of just Welcome ... to ... AMD Users.
Can we get rid of the advertising banners?

There is an excelent work, i agree with the above opinions but i voted NO, nowadays at least in my opinion a site that start's with a flash apresentation must have ttwo things:

1st - Be a VERY fast presentation or ppl will leave
2nd - Must have a SKIP button or link, were 99% of the visitors will click to view the site content faster

Moral... A good thing to have but lot's of work not meritorely viwed. Just my opinion.

But once again an EXCELENT WORK ;) . Congrats

thats pretty good but I would have to agree that it's a little too much and flash intros can be annoying but I think a flash banner would be a great idea.

I dont know much about Flash, but we should keep it friendly to dial up users as well. I dont think they'd want to wait any longer than necessary for the page/site to load. We wouldnt want anyone to be discouraged from visiting beacuse of page loading times.

Although I think it is a good idea.

I think it's very good. We should consider using it. We can always have a link underneath to "skip intro".

I have used flash myself and I think it's more than just a play around. I didnt see any delay in loading but perhaps just add a preloader for dial-up users?

:D Good work.
