And now Youtube is annoying me even worse. I couldn't watch FOUR seconds of a video without it freezing. Seriously, it's too damn slow. No other website ever has this problem, just Youtube. Reason one to hate massively popular sites; they end up too slow and also too much filled with ads and commercialisation.
PHP and server side scripting guides. They're generally hypocrites. They preach Super Globals, then don't use them in 99.9% of the examples in their tutorial. And how guides for HTML and CSS are generally teaching techniques from the 90s, such as table layouts, background image side bars, moving stuff and all that sucks.
The seeming fact that the less legal something is, the more people come to read/download/use it.
Votes/polls/online democratic site management. Generally degenerates to cliques of aged, xenophobic veterans corrupt with power. And how most contests are not about how good a site/forum is, how well it was modded/designed etc, but more about the person who runs it or the service the site does. Give a choice between a service site for a product and a really, well designed, modified site which uses it's software choices to the max, and generally the former will win.
How intelligent, meaningful stuff is ignore in favour of simple and spammy stuff like 'What did you have for breakfast?', or something in popular culture.
How very few forum images are made transparent. I make every one of my custom smilies transparent generally, while most people just leave them with a white background. Heck, it's annoying that no forum default smilies for any software are transparent as well.
