Like compared to gnome it just like there is nothing good I can say about it's effects it's annoying like no cube what advantages does fluxbox have over gnome except it uses less system resources? Mind you I don't care because I have 2 gigs ram and a ton of memory lol so with this modern computer at only like 15-40% ram usage ALMOST ALWAYS with GNOME why would fluxbox be helpful? OPINIONS AS WELL PLEASE??

Definitely not for everyone... some of us have to make do with 512MB and 1,4GHz :P
I also like to make my own themes for the environment I'm using, and it's easier with Fluxbox. And Gnome doesn't satisfy my minimalistic needs!

I can do zen with flux!

KDE and GNOME are completely usable with 512 MB + 1GHz.

But yes fluxbox 3rd in my ranking of DE bundled in WM department. Right after Openbox and e17 and 5 th in DE + WM category. It is good but feels much heavier than openbox.

It looks pretty good. That's about it.

To some people, that's a very important issue.

Not everyone is a fan of eyecandy. My computer has 2GB RAM and can run Compiz-Fusion fine... but I still choose Openbox. Why? It's more customizable than GNOME is for me and it's so much faster. I like it better. I'm sure a lot of Fluxbox users think the same.
