Re: Captain Kwok\'s Space Empires Depot!
And much, much, much better looking than mine, I should add.

Re: Captain Kwok\'s Space Empires Depot!
Coffee shop talk?
KISS is highly overrated.

I believe that would be an inside joke.

I would host the mod, but I have a low transfer limit since it's webspace from my ISP. Perhaps in the future, I'll secure my own domain...

Re: Captain Kwok\'s Space Empires Depot!
Why is KISS overated? Especially for web pages; it can speed download and loading time.
I hit Kwok's website, it loads frigging near instantly. I hit Fyron's web site and have to watch as it loads..then notice the actual content is squished into a much smaller square by the border, which has no links or anything funtional in it.

Re: Captain Kwok\'s Space Empires Depot!
The border is an insignificant portion of the screen unless you are loading the site in a small window or very low resolution (such as 640x480). KISS is actually not taking over for web sites, as they are already generally designed really simplistically (and have been for ever). There is nothing to take over.
Also, with the broadband resolution, more and more people are getting on fast internet connections and the extra load time is not that significant for them.
Also, the border only loads once when you first go to the site. If you stick around and spend more than ten seconds looking at it, that extra load time in the beginning is quite insignificant. Do you complain about the extra time you have to wait when starting up a computer game? I would certainly hope not.

Re: Captain Kwok\'s Space Empires Depot!
No, because the extra wait gennerally does something.  I'm on cable Fyron. And we have different definitions of insignificant, apparently.
