Yes, change isn't always good. I'm really hoping that Scott will take a cue from our hero Dilbert and not allow "Pointy -Haired Boss" thinking to overshadow his fans' desires. Yes, I can install plug-ins, flash blockers, find or write a new web browser, develop a space-time continuum device (so I can go back to when the site was good), but wouldn't it just be easier to admit maybe this isn't working out entirely? Nothing wrong with change, but not for change sake.
For people experiencing issues viewing this site there's a simple solution that was put out a few days ago. Get Firefox, (if you don't already have it) and do the following:
1. Click Tools
2. Click Add-Ons
3. Click the link that says Get Extensions in the bottom right
4. Search for NoScript and install it
5. Go back to Dilbert.com with NoScript enabled and all the flash will go away.
NoScript is completely customizable so if you want scripts enabled on some sites, just right-click the blocked area and follow the menu options.

It seems to me that someone wrote a book entitled, "Stick to Drawing Comics, Monkey Brain!: Cartoonist Ignores Helpful Advice"... Perhaps that advice could be useful here. Nobody likes the strips in flash media. Please, if you want to keep the color, bring back the calendar format with static strips.
