The first time I ever came across a horizontal site was back in 1997, so it's not completely new. In that case it was some sort of art site, but done better in respect of reading text; all text was in tables just covering a monitor width (and that's what I think you have to do!). Recently I found another art site which had a normal (or rather narrow) center table (about 500 pixels wide) and a horizotally scrolling iframe in the middle (set to 100%) - that was working rather well and looked good!

Big question: did you approve it? Will others approve it? Please reply!
Maybe the moderator would allow this as a poll in 'General Knowledge'
I have been toying with this idea for a long time, but always dicarded it for fear of breaking some (unwritten) rules.

No.
I'm not looking for artistic innovation. I'm looking for galleries. As attractive as the page is, it breaks my very basic rules. It doesn't fit in an 800px window. It was submitted to teen and I no longer accept teen submissions from non-partners (a tgp named Whoring Wives can use only so many teen galleries). Look at the title bar. Busty blonde? Perky titted brunette is much more accurate. Even if this puppy was built to fit in a 800px wide browser, I still would not have accepted it. I don't trust anyone who uses 14 huge thumbs like that. Maybe this person is only submitting this gallery to sites like mine where you're not going to burn much bw, but it still makes you suspicious.
