Swad Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 We've used rounded corners and reflection here, but we tried not to go over the top like some sites. Personally I hate any site with TONS of ads, or those annoying Forbes articles that only give you a few seconds on each slide. Also, any site with bad navigation gets an F in my list.

vince29 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 flash sites : "go back" button doesn't work anymore, one can't save pictures, it takes far toot long to load, and isn't at all scalable to different resolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberracus Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 i really love reflections, if used moderatly like in this site, and rounded corners is so unwindows =) flash sites i really hate them poping and sounding, dont you hate music in the sites? or excess in audio effects?

jonz14 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Pop-ups and ads are really annoying especially the pr0n ads on most of the good torrent sites now. I also hate flash websites especially since I can't save pics. I personally like reflections and the rounded corners to an certain extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazasaurusu Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Oh yes, I like all these annoying things. I've never stopped to think about just how anoying the web is. My new most annoying "thing" is the phrase ... "Web 2.0" It makes me want to hit people. I've never heard such nonsense, middle-manager-clueless-halfwit-types love it.

K4bren Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Some flash sites. Ones that take forever to load, have music, are slow. I also hate music that is piped into sites with no easy way to stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollcage Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 - annoying flash ads w/ sound (there's one with a bug that you have to kill, you can hear the buzzing, it drives me insane!). - sites that have enormously long pages you have to scroll down. break it up into a few pages. - pop ups, and even worse, pop under ads. - sites that are really slow. but who likes that??

Takuro Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I hate websites that look like they were made in 1995. Sites that have animated backgrounds, awkward color schemes, oversized text, too many animated gifs all over the place, and random marquee effects that really have no use. Sometimes people overkill a design in a sad attempt to make it seem like they are html-savvy. This happens all too often on MySpace profiles. A newer trend that I absolutely hate are ads that have audio to accompany space-hogging flash banners. "Smash the buzzing fly." How about I smash the face of the guy who made that ad?

How about I smash the face of the guy who made that ad? agreed, those are one of the most annoying things i can think of having on a webpage. only thing that might beat those out are the ads that follow your cursor around and try to get it so when you click you go to the linked web page. if i ever find the guy that came up with those...

andrewf Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I agree with most of the above, only I like rounded corners and a bit of shadows. I don't mind white backgrounds. What i do hate are backgrounds with a 'fixed' size, which awfully tile/repeat when viewed on a higher resolution than the one of the webdesigner. Fluo/Neon colors. Ugly menu's/navigation. Webpages with more ads than content. (Big) Banners. I also hate it when the site's content open in a popup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregano Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 this site has round corners and a backshadow!!! but i think its great! just look at the defaul skin name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waradmin Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I agree with myspace.com as being a shining example. First off, the site itself is a giant ad with some user content. Then you get the profiles with bad color matching, backgrounds, tons of music, and streaming movie upon movie upon movie all over the sites.
