Here's one Webmaster can participate in, hopefully I don't piss him off and make him kick me out.
Things that make web sites suck, or just web sites that suck:
1) MSN Wrappers around commercial sites
2) Shockwave/Flash Intro pages
3) Excessive use of animated gifs
4) Poorly implemented frames
4.a) any use of an iframe
5) excessive use of Java and JavaScript
5.a) having this browser check:
7) http://www.espn.com (http://www.espn.com)
8) http://www.nhl.com (http://www.nhl.com)
9) Passport
10) ASP
My list is much longer than this but I'll wait and see if anyone can add to the list.

What about those irritating 'Click Here To Enter' front pages? :mad:
-
popups that tell you nothing
popups that come up when you leave the site
scripts that prevent easy use of the back feature (a page that redirects you to the next page... so back just takes you to the redirector)
clicking a link and getting an advertisement page that directs you to your intended page 5 seconds later.
forums where people open up 2 year old threads :D

haha. nice ;)
oh yeah. i hate sites with huge annoying background images with text over it that completely destroys all legibility. people with images that are scaled down and misproportioned so it makes the site take hours to load. and blogs. even though i have one (http://tongue.gif)
-
For a second I thought void main was back.
-
I don't remember this thread but I happen to agree with void main all the way on the reasons he mentioned. A website should provide information and most of the time this information is obscured by annoying animated gifs, huge swf clips that take a century to load on 56k, tons of pictures and images etc.
-
Pages optimised for Internet Explhorror.
-
Blinking Text. Backgrounds that repeat because I have a high resolution.
-
And what about all those japanese pages dedicated to an obscure actress, actor or model with lousy wav files in the background going on forever. Don

That's why you use a second address for that crap.
-
that's what hotmail is for :D
it makes a great spam email account
-
Yeah If I ever meet the dude who owns "[email protected]" he is gunna kill me...
-
Every web designed goes through that stage though. It's less about making a page that is easy to read and understand than it is fun to make a page that people can look at and say "hay ur page iz rox0rz" in the guestbook. Hell, I think I'm still in that stage!
-
1) Light text on light background
2) Ryan and Friends
3) Websites that log your ip and show it to the public
4) Use of huge images
5) Pages that require you to use IE, then it install a program on your computer
-
There are 2 sites, other than the one of the World Wide Web Consortium of course, which every potential web designer should visit:
http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com (http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com)
and Eric Raymond's HTML hell page at:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/html-hell.html (http://www.catb.org/~esr/html-hell.html)
(http://smile.gif)
-
popups, flash.shockwave (unless it's something like www.homestarrunner.com (http://www.homestarrunner.com) (http://tongue.gif) )
too much design, not enough content.
when the whole site is in a javascript popup. *grr*
btw, here's a badly done site (on purpose) by me:
www.localhoons.tk (http://www.localhoons.tk)
hope you hate it.
-
I hate it when people dig up ancient ass threads
-
I thought Void Main was back here for a second there.

Can't make a website more lame than this:
http://gush-xpx.refalm.com/ (http://gush-xpx.refalm.com/)
Although it says refalm.com at the end, this is not my website. gush-xpx is the website of a friend who hasn't got a clue about webdesigning.
1. He uses Flash for a simple mouse-over (thanks for not supporting Lynx now, asshat).
2. He stole my PNG picture and turned it into a lame jpg (it isn't transparent anymore too).
3. His fucktard friend shows a lame JavaScript which says "This is the info about your IE".
4. He's got a stupid Flash intro.
5. The menu is Flash too, which isn't good for Lynx and requires scrolling down.
6. Lame "The Pianist" banner at the bottom.
7. Steam is cool, but there is no point in placing Steam logo's all over the place.
8. Too much "Under Construction".
9. Thanks for not including me in the "Best Friends" page.
So I was thinking about braking the DNS link.

I think you have. You posted a dead link.

This website is only online when his router is on. So it's off now. Be glad.
-
What pisses me off most:
Sites that ban my domain because some moron on my IP did something fucking STUPID, thus forcing me to use a proxy to access the site!
Oh, and forum necro pisses me off too.

bluerobot layout? the least you could have done was leave his name and site in the source code :(
http://bluerobot.com/web/layouts/layout3.html (http://bluerobot.com/web/layouts/layout3.html)
i used his layout as the starting point for this site- http://ecsyle.com/ (http://ecsyle.com/)
good stuff.

i mentioned it in the code

People have mentioned java generally, but java buttons...
Give the webmaster a gun now so that he can do the right thing!
