1. Up-to-date websites still living in the pre-1024x768 era

As I have mentioned before, there are those few websites that get updated, or seems to get updated, yet the area of data seems to fit perfectly on 800x600 or lower resolution, any larger monitor just leads to a waste of space. The 800x600 resolution standard died out around 2000. Actually unless you’re planning on building the site for only mobile use, I see no reason to go less than 1000px on the width of your website.

2. People linking their myspace/facebook/social network site as their “website”

Thank you myspace, thank you for becoming so god damn popular that any moron can go on the internet and create a personal page. The original intent of the ability to link websites to your forum name was for REAL websites, not just some crappy social networking page that everyone AND their mother has. I would rather click on their “website” and find it be linked to some crappy angelfire website built in 1998 than another god damn myspace page you unoriginal fuck.

3. Deleted websites

Now and days I really don’t see any excuse to delete websites, The internet Archive is doing a good job at archiving websites, but there are still a lot of websites that are deleted, and this day and age, webspace isn’t an issue. I don’t know how many times I would visit a website that I visited a long time ago, only to find a dead domain… Most websites usually die because the webmaster loses interest, not because he decides to take it down, he just stops paying the bills.

This also jumps back to the geocities argument; it is a shame to see a lot of those 10 year old websites become deleted since they’re are such a strong part of the internet history. I actually enjoy visiting those websites that look like they are 10+ years old… Takes me back to those days when I first started surfing the net.

4. Non-compliant websites

Why are we still even coding for specific web browsers today? We have a group of people who are trying to set standards to make a website look the same across all browsers, yet people still make websites or software that is focused on Internet Explorer “6.0 or higher”. Even Microsoft’s IE team are being little shits about standards. Instead of focusing on making their web browser compliant, they care more about putting things in the new browser that hasn’t even finalized. Fuck browser specific coding, and developers who doesn’t mind having errors in their website. I would love to see everyone stop using conditional commenting.

5. Wordpress and the “geeks” and self proclaimed “web-nerds” who uses it

Wordpress is a great piece of software. It has allowed many people who have no or little web coding capabilities to publish their own website and speak their mind. But it is no different than all those script kiddies during the AOL days. They don’t know shit, and all hell would break out for them if something went wrong. Listen kids, just because you like to buy the new gadgets, or play around with technology, DOESN’T MAKE YOU A GEEK/NERD, it makes you a consumer. Now and days someone who uses a computer is no geekier than someone who programmed their DVR. What I do enjoy is watching all these fanboys run around thinking they are geeks, especially the apple ones.
P.S. Wordpress isn’t even compliant

6. Freelance web designers who hire someone else to design their website
Wow… A freelance web designer that decides to hire someone else to design their website… wait, what? So a web designer decided to higher professionals to design their site? Do you see the fail there?

7. Web designers that specialize in wordpress

We get it, wordpress is popular, why not? Any idiot can use it. It just shows that you know the same amount of knowledge and capabilities as those people who would design myspace pages. Wanna fuck around with a wordpress designer? Remove the comments and change all the tag’s ID title, and then tell them to design your website

8. Web designers in general
Wait, when did this separation of web developer and web designer occur? When did we get people who can make websites look pretty, but couldn’t make a website out of scratch? I guess you can blame “web 2.0” or whatever. I guess it now depends what you look at more of, the design tab or the code tab.

9. Myspace/Xanga/other “insert your code” websites

Besides the fact that your letting a bunch of fucking idiots design their own site with no knowledge of html/css, you also let them annoy the fuck out of you. How many times have I seen myspace pages with two music videos playing along with their music player while your web browser is attempting to load an animated gif background with text that isn’t even visible. Does it end there? Nah, let’s add about 3289732895 fucking pictures and some flash photo gallery. Using IE6? Expect your browser to crash (along with explorer).

10. Unable to disable your forum accounts
Why not? Why can’t we just completely disable them? I know we can’t delete them because that would screw up some posts, but why can’t we at least just disable the profiles resulting to all the personal information to be removed? Is there any reason why I am still a member of 3.8mustang.com? I don’t even drive an American car anymore… Let us keep our privacy and let the other forum members know that we don’t go there anymore.

11. “Continue reading” only after a few sentences

I can name a few websites that do this, and it drives me insane. If you have a blog, then I should be able to read a good portion of it to find out what it’s about, not have to click on the blog just to read after the second sentence. I dunno if it is an attempt to track which blogs are read or to increase the chances of commenting, but it is just damn annoying for the reader.
Oh, and if you do that to your RSS feed, then you can go fuck yourself, because I sure as hell won’t subscribe, it’s inefficient and just a cheap attempt to get visitors/ad revenues to your site. But that obviously shows you don’t write anything good.

12. Beta
Fuck you Google! It’s your fault for all this Beta bullshit! (jk, I <3 you) but seriously this is getting pathetic. We get it, it might have bugs, but don’t call it beta if it is released to the public, or AT LEAST call it ‘public beta’ because beta is suppose to be an internal programming term. Now and days it has becoming a marketing term to replace “new and improved!”

13. Web 2.0
Doesn’t exists, nuff said.

14. Parked ‘domain’ searches

Legal cyber-squatting? I can’t count the amount of times I have tried to buy domains only to find out that they have been used by some stupid search. I mean it is one thing if the domain was registered and waiting for the webmaster to get their ass in gear, but deleted websites and misspelled websites shouldn’t even carry this, they should send a nice lil 404 and that’s it.

15. Signup to view/download

So how many times have I looked for an answer to a computer problem, type it in google, and finally find an answer. But what happens when I click the link? I don’t get shit; all I get is the question that I was searching and some pathetic way for me to sign up just to view the answer. This happens all the time, especially with downloads (driver downloads) and it is just plain annoying. I don’t know how many random accounts I have on the net that was signed up just to download or view something, and that was the only time I visited. Actually Experts Exchange is probably a good example as they usually list high on the ranking of google for computer problems. I am glad though they changed their service around to where you can actually read the answers, but you have to do a lot of scrolling.

16. People who take things online, personal
Oh god, I don't know how many times I have to say this, but it always happens, because some random person decided to say something not so nice. Either go cry in the corner, or shut up.
