Lol, I’ve seen that Dokimos site before… g’ah. Scares the be-Jesus out of me.

Haven’t seen that other one, though. It is painful. I did notice a difference between the title and h1 heading that is in it’s own right somewhat amusing. I see you posted the more humorous of the two

Yes, Dokimos is a classic. It was pointed out to me though that it performs its function perfectly. As soon as people load the page the first thing they say is “Jeeeeeezus!!!”.

I’m one of these people who falls prey to the collecting bug which is why I have a house full of eclectic rubbish that seemed like a cool idea at the time. I’m now on the collecting bad web sites kick. Serious or amusing, please feel free to submit examples, I figure they take up less space.

Oh and if anyone is interested in a large collection of Myth and Magic Dragons (over 200 of them) please apply in writing. Likewise, videos of every Star Trek series including the films that go with them. I hasten to add these are not mine but I’d dearly love to see the back of them and will happily arrange to smuggle them out of the house.

How about this awful thing that now lives in my portfolio (I have no shame)… it’s really bad. Valid but about as inaccessible as they get. This was made before I knew better. It was rebuild once ( much better), then again as it is now (an elastic design).

To contribute one more, I can’t leave out Bruce Lawson’s Zen Garden Geocities 1996 design. Too funny

Well Mike, the thought was there but the site requirements on the front page are missing the need for a magnifying glass.

As to Bruce’s Zen Garden…… that’s just too funny for words. I think he should stick to being a duck.
