We're not in 1998 anymore. Sorry. Things are better now in the future. We don't need to have websites that show you a top 10 list one page at a time anymore. Please, stop doing it. I'm more likely to get fed up and leave your lame site than to keep clicking and reading. Make it all one page!
Time Magazine gets a special "FUCK YOU" for not giving a list of items in a top 10 and making you go through every fucking page just to find out what they think the greatest graphic novel of all time is.
Ironically, Web Pages That Suck seems to kind of suck itself. (Mostly for ugly design.)
Photo slideshows need to die too. Especially the ones that automatically start. I hate loading a slideshow in a tab for later only to come to it and find that it's already on page 10 or something. Splash pages and auto-playing music need to go to (along with the whole of MySpace), but I guess I should just be thankful that I don't see websites with frames or "IE compatible" badges or magical mouse trails anymore.
Do you have any pet peeves of bad web design that are still lurking around? Please feel free to post in the comments section. (Note: I recognize the fact that my website is just plain hideous)
Edit: Ryan Block and Veronica Belmont's the Vintage Web also showcases websites that are stuck in the days of Internet Explorer 5.
