We are all forum contributers and budding (if not professional) web developers. As I am quickly finding out, web development these days benefit from current and past websites. What I would like to know is what websites have inspired you all. Which websites have you found to have the most unique message out there; or which websites have been the most creative. After all, we are all bound by the same languages (PHP, HTML, Java, etc.).. what, in your experience, is the most out-of-the-box site(s) and why. It is my hope that we will all benefit from each other's favorite sites.
Most Unique/creative site you have visited
For starters I'd download the StumbleUpon extension (only for Firefox sorry IE users)
Secondly a lot of sites based on Flash are pretty unique
Third these come to mind:
http://www.neave.com/
http://conceptlab.com/simulator/morning/clock800_a.html
http://www.dontclick.it/
(I'd also include my site, but there isn't anything THAT revolutionary on it
)

Here's a small list of amusing websites that's been sitting in my bookmarks for awhile now :
- http://www.forumelves.com/

- http://www.soulwax.com/
- http://www.statbrain.com/

I'm sure there's more sites in my list of bookmarks that might interest a few people, but those are just a few from the top.

I seen that a lot of people in this thread posted innovative design sites, I thought this one would be worth checking out :
- http://www.webfeatsdesign.com/wf5/v5f.html
I like the "Intro" for broadband, really cool how they did the animation.

I like websites that do not use Flash, keep themselves looking good and yet loading quickly at the same time. I see more of the "don'ts" on the Internet these days, than the "do's".
1) More and more sites these days require you to have an "account" to download a file. This is becoming more and more frustrating.
2) Many sites now stick commercial advertising pages in between you and the destination of the link you clicked. This is awful.
I know they're trying to increase their revenue, perhaps even to keep the site running, but I'm sure there are better and less intrusive ways of doing so.

myrevolt, I use StumbleUpon with IE, and have no problems with it, whatsoever.
(Pssst! They've got download links for Internet Explorer users.) And it is a wonderful tool for discovering really cool & unusual websites, many of which you'll never find in a major search engine.
As for an incredibly well-designed and inventive site, I was really amazed by Fubbs.net.
It's just eye candy & a very decorative way to kill time, but it's unique in it's graphic/flash design & overall presentation.
It feels human and organic, as opposed to technological and cold.
As you make your way around the website, you truly feel as if you're discovering some hidden surprise.
Also, I must agree with Vasquez on most of his points. I don't mind Flash if it's mainly used for decoration, but I despise being forced to use Flash for navigational/downloading/commenting purposes.
I whink http://www.kigot.com are very creative for her design !
I visit big time Turkish Forums - PC,software,hardware.
In my opinion, the most creative site ever made hands down is http://www.homestarrunner.com
To think that the Brothers Chaps have created a whole online world with crazy characters and have taken user emails like the trogdor one and used them to create even more random crazyness. It's absolutely amazing. And downright hilarious.
Not only that, they make buttloads of money from merchandise sales alone! No ads or anything.

Stay out of the backend politics to avoid a vexatious experience. The humor and satire categories are less safe now, but if you're a fan of secular humanism or anticapitalism then you'll absolutely love SU
got furl?
