This kind of `pulled down/up` effect, as soon as it loads the gray background kinda pulls/folds down — this one also curves! — I like this effect (though over used on the web realy, I think) any ideas/tips/tutorials on achiving this effect ?

Can you see what I mean ? also appears on some of the content boxes in the site, like a small strip at the bottom of the images when you click on partnership, adaptation and security.

TIA

Shape Tween :)

yep, they did it with a shape tween, but I guess it can be realized with the drawing API too

That site is obviously inspired by 2Advanced. sigh. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

and that transition is crazy overused :-/

I'd rather create an ugly looking original work than copy another copycat. Actually, Eric Jordan is a Gmunk.com-clone... IMHO. Jordan's work apparently resembles most of Bradley Grosh's work. Gmunk came first, I think. His ideas came first over Eric Jordan. Now, 2advanced has an excuse already, since they're a team now (Jordan soon realized he can't do it alone, running out of ideas).
