In fairness, is there anything new here that wasn't a screensaver in 1996, except repacked as a script include to be a background on what would surely be a terrible website? I totally commend the effort they put into the screen saver controls (more polygons, more lines) but, is this what Flying Toasters died for? I was gonna say Tom Dowdy but that's just rude. People are probably right to slam this, and that's a considered decision and not driven by irritation or a generic grievance. It's so mundane I wouldn't have given it a second of thought or written a word about it if it wasn't here, but it's here.

It wouldn't be a terrible website. These animations are beautiful, some just need some power on the client. Like any font, color scheme, layout, effect ... awesome if properly implemented.
mmmmmm... what kind of website would you put this moving background to?
