The Web's Worst Website

[timeshifter]

And yes, it is actually XHTML Strict compliant. Part of the subtle irony of the whole site.

I really don't want to make more than one page, so I'll pull some JavaScript bs for the "splash screen". Should be fun.

[kleinma]

use lots of frames

[timeshifter]

Would one self-referencing frame be sufficient?

[homer13j]

It's puketastic!

But I think the text is screaming for a <blink> tag...

[timeshifter]

Oh, it'll get worse, have no fear

[kregg]

You need this:



http://www.familylobby.com

[mendhak]

To make it worse than that, you'll need to remove all those apostrophes. I have no doubt that kregg added the apostrophe in "web's" thinking that it was wrong...

[kregg]

Of course, but I noticed it there after noticing the title of this thread. Hence, I added another apostrophe - just to make it stand out that this really is the worst website.

Instead of making it the worlds worst website; why not make a site that allows people to submit "worlds worst website" candidates. Then have voting twice a year to choose the worst.

[lintz]

boring....

That's probably the worlds worst idea...

A website full of VisualAd's ideas.

I will be honest with you all. I didn't expect this much hostility.

Neither did I...

[StrangerInBeijing]

Just copy any microsoft site.

I hate you.

No horrible replica of the 90's site would be complete without....

IE Page Transitions
http://jawjahboy.com/scripts/random/transitions.shtml


However, I don't know if Transitions are enabled by default in IE7 anymore... Tools... Internet Options... Advanced... Enable Page Transitions.

How about Spiral?
<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="progidXImageTransform.Microsoft.Spiral(Duration=2)">
<meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="progidXImageTransform.Microsoft.Spiral(Duration=2)">

[kregg]

I hate you.

That's the spirit. Now you have to top that. While being standards compliant.

Good luck.

I would've got away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids!

for the level of arrogance and conceit.

[TheBigB]

I actually think that's a good thing...
Stackoverflow, I think, is a great resource and mainly for it's lack of pollution.

[arunb]

I now realize it takes effort to make a bad website...

[EntityX]

I never saw the website and I see that it no longer exists or at least I'm not able to connect to it. I wanted to see the web's worst website but I guess it will have to wait.

What SO says to potential posters, "You better ask good questions, and we will be the judge of what a good question is. We also reserve the right to edit your question to fit our criteria."

What the potential poster hears, "Arrogant, conceited, ________"


The intent is OK, but the execution is that of a programmer, not a psychologist. I have been in the midst of answering a question and had it closed before I was done. Long live Group Think.

Jeff Atwood suggested I read this, http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/0...gets-it-wrong/ .

I replied, "The problem is that you are not consistent about what the rating is rating. "An evil or incorrect post is ..." , closely followed by "But getting downvoted isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time." If you read the blog with consistency of the object being rated (person / post) and then read it with the other way you will see what I mean."

He also didn't like my response to his statement, "This is how things work on real playgrounds; why would we expect our web playgrounds to be any different?"

Maybe in the 50+ years since I was on a playground things have changed, but it was a place where bullies ruled, and the cliques were king. For the rest of us it was keep your head down and your mouth shut, and if you didn't...

Well, this is an old, dredged up, thread...I thought I was the only one who loathed StackOverflow.
