I have to give hats off to a good website. I think they should simply stick in a little PHP script to filter out users by their user-agent.
if (eregi("lynx", $HTTP_USER_AGENT)) {
exit("Get a better browser.");
} else {
header("Location: http://ikka.us/index.html");
}
The design is meant to get you to look at the entire site, and to keep you engaged, instead of simply disseminate information. And anyone who insists on using a text-based browser in X when you've got plenty of other options available, such as Mozilla is crazy. 80% of the pages available on the Internet is not intended for the audience who still uses lynx. Want text-based information? Stick to logging into telnet systems.
As for the huge image problem, it's easily fixed by installing a copy of Gallery to maintain a dynamic, searchable image database online, and I've already made that suggestion.
Again, hats off. I applaud those who actually pave the way for new and advanced web design, instead of freezing the current state of creativity and hampering further experimentation by trying to please the crowd that's still stuck in a console-based stoneage.
Rock on.
