Unless the link you posted was for a different site than the one you're talking about, it's pharsical.

First off, it consists soley of a popup window with a shockwave flash animation. Why the hell do they use a popup window for that?
There's nothing in the main one!!!

Which also means that if you use a browser or app which blocks pop-up windows ... there is no site.

It *also* means that if you don't have shockwave flash installed it doesn't work. I don't get any alternative text when I test in a browser
without.

I could really do without the loud, poor quality 'noise' it plays. I'm trying to listen to Jazz FM via wavefinder .... I don't want irritating fuzz to
blast through my speakers!!

Why do they need a shockwave flash animation to say "No site here at the mo, try later. Click here to join the mailing list" ?

That is definitely not the definition of a good site under any definition I know. On the other hand, let me know when there is actually
something there [with any luck it will include a skip intro button]. :-)
