What if that's what Basket Mouth wanted
Wale Abba is good web designer. U can check his site for more of his works.
www.gobbleabba.com

concept of having tabs running away from me is not good at all.
Some people just wan to breeze in and out to come back later but the
the running tabs won't make u come back.

Baba Fela dey give us better music for that site.

@yawa ti de, i have just one problem with the website, which is also a very basic one, USABILITY which i can say is very poor.

I am not an IT person nor a web designer but i have visit lots and lots of site and this turns out as one of the poorest in that aspect that i have seen.

Comedy - 90%
Website - 25%,

Too slow to load. Finally opened!
I can't be chasing tabs around.
The site was not designed with the user in mind.

Nice site wiv a lot of flash 'efizis'. But too many clicks spoil the job (anyway i've always have an idea
that the flashier the site, the slower it gotta get, kinda like u sac this to get that).

Well, colourful _{but what is the essence of parrot if it cant sing/talk}

@Topic

Like the saying goes "a prophet is never appreciated in his hometown" .This is exactly what we are witnessing here.If this was Jay-Z or Beyounce's website, everybody would be saying "wow, what a cool looking site! ! ! " but because it's their own person's property, you are seeing all kinds of odd comments e.g

(1) Too much flash : This is the first time I've heard of flash software being "too much" on a website.So long as it looks good and loads well, wetin be too much flash?I guess it all boils down to the fact that people must say something shaaaaa. . . no matter how ridiculous! ! !

(2)It doesn't navigate well :  That sounds odd.The web developer did a good job of being unique and different from most.This website speaks of quality and countless hours behind a computer.Abeg give kudos to who it's due.Not all websites look like face book or Google.I'm sure if it was one of those "simple" and "common" sites, the same people would say it was garbage.Na wa for we people.

(3)It takes long to load : Abeg upgrade or sell your computer.Also, get a better internet connection e.g broadband.

you took the words outta my mouth 

methinks the website is a reflection of basket mouth's personality which is 'clowning'
the tabs jumping gave me some funny ish, yeah, i think basket mouth is as funny as hell
do  you expect a comedian's website to look so much business like? na real wah for people sef.

overall IMO, i think its cool.
perhaps the mentality of bashing anything up for discussion on nairaland has taken over sense of good reasoning
guess most posters are assuming the OP put up this discussion for the usual bashing

and for those complaining of time to load, take mcclouds no.3 point. 

This is Eminem's website :

http://www.eminemworld.com/
http://www.eminem.com/

And this is Jay-Z's website :

http://www.islanddefjam.com/default.aspx?labelID=75

Compare these with basket mouth's website and tell me you don't see the difference in quality/hard work. I don't know why we love to "downgrade" ourselves.I don't know if it's an African thing or a "Nigerian thing". Na wa for una. If the website is too flashy for you, design a "flashless" website to counter it let us see.

Nuff said.

The Guy (Basketmouth) must have been carried away seeing this jargon! His associates should encourage him to see this thread. _{So that he ll make that guy do a good jobor refund his dough!}

@gongo aso

I concur with you.A website is supposed to represent the personality of the owner(s).CNN's website reflects news.Nairaland's website reflects an enormous community of Nigerians who get on the forums to air their views.African booties website reflects the "attributes" of our women .Basket mouth's website reflects humor and wit.And so on and so forth.

Maybe the posters expected the website to look like Google or Nairaland

not bad at all
i am laffing my ass off

Most ppl pointed out the flaws in the site which even my 7 yr old nephew will agree to.
- Navigating was not easy - a designer should make a site as user friendly as possible
- Loading was no problem for me but some ppl found out it was slow for them and i believe most ppl checking this site will be from nigeria and we all know how slow the internet is - so if its very slow to the average user, how many ppl do you think will close this page before it loads   not to talk of ppl tryin' to access the site from their phones . . . u go wait tire

Thank you jare.Speak the truth brother.E dey good make people talk true.Na the way wey dem dey take downgrade people in everyday life dem carry enter nairaland.By their fruits, u go sabi who dem be (down graders)

@say-d-fact

It opens well on my computer.Maybe you need to upgrade your internet connection to something faster.Perhaps you should use Google chrome or Mozilla.It could also be that you have viruses embedded in your HDD which is slowing down your system.The website opened on my computer in seconds.

where is the humor on that site because i didnt see any  
u mean trying to access the page by chasing the panel flying around is humor

Humor and wit i said.Basket mouth comes off as "odd".He's website was made to reflect that.What more do you want?A website that makes you laugh as soon as you access it? Brother please. . .

If you feel that website doesn't cut it, please show me any site of any comedian either from the US,UK or 9ja that is "so humorous" to the extent you laugh immediately you access it (Nna na wa for we people ooo!)

Why do our people love downgrading?Ehh?Why can't we appreciate good things when we see them?Why must we put down everything our people try to do?

It beats me.

are you trying to say a web developer now needs to bear in mind the likely viewer location when developing a website
i might know one or two things about web-developing, definitely not a pro. but this reasoning beats me.

Sorry O!
my jargon=when people get discouraged and cant wait for the page to open and walk away. No hurt intended

The developer of the site ought to have done an heuristic evaluation of the site before publishing

@dgreatrock

No problems.All they need do is understand that not "all" websites are like nairaland.If they are complaining about basket mouth's website, what would they say of www.sony.com or www.lge.com.

No matter how hard to try for our people, they will still look for one senseless thing to ridicule your hard work.I pity una.Dis na why we no dey progress.

No one is downgrading anything . . we're discussing the site and not basketmouth as a person
I neva wrote anywhere that this site was not good, i noticed the navigating issue and i pointed it out

The developer of the site ought to have done an heuristic evaluation of the site before publishing

@how far

Really?How many "heuristic evaluations" did face book,my space,bebo,twitter or tagged do before they became recognized?Did 50-cent,Maria Carey or Missy Elliot do "heuristic evaluations" to get their website's accredited?

Sweet Jesus! ! !

Sometimes my people scare the living daylights out of me with their hypocrisy.

@tboy1

u mean trying to access the page by chasing the panel flying around is humor

Chasing the panel around is witty and a lil humorous coz it's "out of place and odd" which is comedy.You don't need to fall off your chair to know it's witty.That's the point i made.

No one is downgrading anything . . we're discussing the site and not basketmouth as a person
I neva wrote anywhere that this site was not good, i noticed the navigating issue and i pointed it out

The way you say "navigation issue" makes it sounds as if the web developer didn't know what he/she was doing.The navigation of the site was DELIBERATELY made to be different from every other tom,dick and harry sites.Of course it will take a lil time to get used to but that is the work of a creative web designer/web programmer.Not everyone aspires to be like the rest you know.Being creative and doing something different takes genius.That's the truth.

The first thing that strikes you when you access the site is one word : DIFFERENT! ! !

gongo aso:

yep he should - if 50% of your user cannot access the site den there is no point, and the other 50% having it hard to navigate then he should check it out.

gongo aso:

sarcasm ryt? see your teeth  

lol . . .seriously that thing was not needed - he should remove it and have a message like ''Enter site' instead of basketmouthdottv. we already know its basketmouthdot tv because we wrote the damn link ourselves
