Having a sidebar is very common because it works. Things that work are widely used, unless there is some significant drawback. Almost every site has more than a couple pages on it(excluding personal pages), and it's a pain in the ass if they don't have some sort of navigation tool.
There are many types of sidebars, and as you can see, nearly every successful site uses them, because they work. What I was trying to convey to Onyx was about first impressions, mostly. If you can think up something better than a sidebar, use it, but without any sort of navigation bar or the like, you irritate your visitors and inconvenience them.
Sure, you could wear some cool and unique new kind of pants that didn't have pockets, and that's all well and good, except for the fact that it wouldn't have pockets.

Ah well, we're more or less agreeing, and not realizing it, hehe. You're using "sidebar" in a much broader sense than I was. I totally agree that there needs to be an easy way to navigate a site, I just thought you meant *specifically* a bar on the side.
Well there's a sidebar(either side), a topbar, using frames, a flash bar that tags along as you scroll.. there's a lot of options. The standard is a sidebar on the left.
Ehh... if I have the name Gaia besides my bot development does that mean Gaia uses part of my responses?
yep yep and yep to or horny friend...
and to the whole sidebar thing... that was the perception i thought the conversation was about just a side bar and not a navigation system...( that point should have been less vague from the start then.) And Onyx it has notthing at all to do with your site, which i had stated before when i first started my rebutal, just stating on the topic of sidebars and not anyone in perticular's site.

I wasn't defending my site from anyone but Kirby since he seems to be the only one who has a problem with it.
