It's a redirect to a warning page. If you pause the load (Escape key) before the redirect, the initial/front page is plenty visible and ok looking.

I keep JS disabled because there's just too much random/nasty cr*p out there. I'll do JS for some sites, but it's definitely "opt-in", for me.

Yeah, I'm a corner case. I just found the deliberate redirect away from a presentable page (with JS disabled) to a content-devoid warning/advisory, to be rather pointless, from my perspective.



hah, yeah, that's pretty annoying. I prefer un-announced failure to drop-everything-and-berate-user. I didn't realize it was that bad, I retract my earlier remark - this likely cost them additional time to be more annoying (though was probably done for people on ancient browsers, and not voluntary no-JS-ers).
