Many people may disable js when browsing. So there's that.

The site linked in their profile works just fine with all JS disabled.

This can't be good for people that have JavaScript disabled.

Loading this page with JavaScript disabled is a very bizarre experience!

More and more often with JavaScript disabled I don't see anything at all!

Accessing the site with javascript switched off seems to defeat this.

Hey. Just FYI, it looks like the website doesn't work with JS disabled.

It also works if you disable javascript.

You can just disable JavaScript and the site works fine.
