Sigh... what's with all the technical stupidity on certain forums now?

Seriously, I swear I've seen a rise in two really bad forum usability/design mistakes which are just getting on my nerves. The first is the rise is 'you must have javascript enabled to view this site'. But the point is, where the hell is this in default vBulletin or Invision Power Board? Why are you making your site less usable by visitors than the default, when the vast majority of these sites would work completely fine without it and pretty much blocking all search bots and screen readers for no reason? It's like 1998 again or whatever in terms of design trend.

The second thing is the incredibly lazy idea of leaving the CSS code in the PAGE SOURCE of the pages. This adds like twice the amount of load time to each page and bandwidth usage, and it's not even that difficult to set one option and move it to a file where it can actually be cached by the visitor. This of course is worse in that most forums I've seen making this mistake have some of the most design and graphic intensive styles ever, and I know some which have had the CSS code THREE TIMES AS LENGTHY as the page source for the rest of the page, seemingly tripling their daily bandwidth for no good reason.
