Dial-up is still used and so is IE... IE isn't that bad either... I don't think Firefox is a permanent replacement...

Anyone with an IQ over 1 has no trouble torrenting anything and doesn't need to sign up at any ratio controlled sites.

False, a large portion of my childhood was spent going to various Geocities(-esque) game fansites and downloading every animated gif possible to my computer. I miss animated gif based websites. :brokenheart:

-Under construction signs.
-Everyone and their cat having a web site they just HAVE to post tons of animated gifs on. Though I guess facebook has sort of taken over this role.
-link rings
-blink as mentioned
-coloured font for the sake of coloured font.
