prodj101 Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 I hate the pop up ads that advertise how to get rid of pop up advertisments (I had to reinstall windows on one of my comps cause they wouldn't go away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 I hate slow or bogged-down websites that take forever to load up! I also hate: "The page cannot be displayed." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 1. Post with no carrige returns. 2. Post with run on sentences. 3. teenagers masquerading as knowledgeable adults; take a cue from Justin and be cool. 4. People who rant about mega watt SS power amps on a high efficinecy horn speaker website. Major contradiction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audible Nectar Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 My internet complaint isn't related to any particular action on this BBS, although similar acts do occur here on rare occasion...... The phenomena of "hiding behind a screenname because no one knows who you are" syndrome. This is often manifested in such comments as "your favorite speakers/CD player/rock band/politics/sports team/religion/opinion SUX". It's OK to disagree, but I find (especially on unmoderated newsgroups) that people will say just about anything when the reader doesn't know who you really are. IOW, comments are made that one would only make by being faceless behind a computer screen. There are numerous groups that apply to my interest, but are so full of junk completely unrelated to the subject at hand, and so full of garbage, that spending any time on such boards/groups is a complete waste of time (see the rec.music.phish newsgroup on usenet for a prime example). As to m00n's comments regarding pornography: While the suggestion of placing porn related stuff on a .xxx domain sounds like a noble persuit, who decides what porn really is? Some is obvious, but if you ask different people what is and is not porn, you will get different answers. Attempts to control/filter internet content is a very slippery slope. While the level of raciness in porn might not be in question for most who don't use it at all, what about other content? What if the only news sources on US ISP's were from the US? What if your favorite band attracts the attention of those in control of the internet? The same "morality" issues will come to the fore regarding internet control as is in place at our local Wal-Mart regarding music and movie titles - the ISP will seek to have that squeaky clean image and seek to restrict, or not make certain content available. The first time my ISP attempts to do this - they are fired. The only two issues that I would like to see regulated are spam and user privacy issues. Otherwise, leave it alone.

Ray Garrison Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 My major pet pieve... websites with huge, overwrought, time consuming FLash presentations on the home page that provide no useful information, but which you can't bypass, or are afraid to bypass for fear that you might miss something... For an excellent example of this, check out the Pacific Seafood website. They added the "Skip Intro>>" button recently - before that, you had no option other than sitting and waiting while the Flash loaded, or just giving up and going somewhere else.

TheEAR Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 "if you think this is bad, go hit some online game forums." Many gaming forums shelter the garbage,compost and rejects who have nothing smart to say.Just agressive individuals who probably have trouble looking in the mirror,these mental weaklings take out their frustrations online. I dont even bother posting,even if sometimes they are asking for a few steel reinforced boots to the facial region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
