Sites that open popups

Sites that open a minimized browser that opens sites on your screen, or those that open windows when they are closed.

Thinking about how 99% of the internet is comprised of F-ing AOL teen girls who maKe InTeRwEb-SiTeZ lIkE DiS, and once I think about that, I cry when I realize how much faster the net would be if they weren't there. Can you say Gigabit? Try it with me... Gi-ga-bit 😀
 
- Websites that try to force you to make them as your start up page.
- Websites that are malicioulsy intended to trick somebody into thinking they are closing a window when in fact it's just an image that looks like the close "X".
- Websites that use one huge image as the page instead of smaller images to make a larger one
- Websites that FORCE you to sit through a flash intro without the choice of skipping though it
- Websites that forget that 50% of the net users are still on dial up

and those sites where they don't let you right click.
Click to expand...

Right click to copy pictures you mean? Highlight it, copy, paste. 😉

Pet peeve: people who feel that it's necessary to say hi to you EVERY time you sign on AIM.

Oh, did I mention spam yet?
 
sites with midi files that play against your will when you go there:frown:

sites with flashing banners like *You are a WINNER!*:frown:

I'm sure there are others I can't think of at the moment😛
 
sites with good content but poor layout.

sites with bad content but good layout.

good sites that never update.

difficulty in finding those good sites.
 
sites that load with music.
sites that bring up gator or comet cursor
people who get upset when i ignore them on icq... im not always there when im online people!
forwards

*kat. <-- there are tons more.
 
sites that used to be free, but aren't anymore. Gamespot for example.

and yes, all forms of instrusive advertizing.
 
People who say "is suck" as though it is some sort of counter culture identity.
People who bash products/microsoft even though they have never tried it, and are basing all their assumptions on incorrect info.
 
All of the things mentioned above, plus the general laziness that appears on the internet. It drives me crazy when people don't capitalize words, spell every other word wrong, and use internet slang words, such as "r" instead of "are." That drives me crazy.
 
All of the above plus internet forums, like this one and many many others, that use language filters to censor posts. What do they really accompolish by banning the "F" or the "S" words when everyone simply starts typing Fvck or Sh!t instead. Is there any difference? Do these subtle alterations really change the word's original intent and meaning or make them less offensive? No, not really. I mean come on, this is the Internet not Disney Land!
 
Hyper critical PNG dorks who rip apart the appearance of every female that a pic is posted of here like women were slabs of meat. What irritates me more is knowing that a lot of these guys probably aren't cover material for GQ themselves !
