What is the best or worst web site you have ever been too? A friend sent me his one. [http://wwe.brokenlink.org/](http://wwe.brokenlink.org/) [link broken-Czarcasm] ---

I highly recommend not clicking on that link. You will get a million pop ups and a screen that moves around. ---

I haven’t ever been a web site. So I can’t have ever been one too. ---

Not the worst by far, but one I’m recently pissed at. Remember there was a discussion a few days back about Ginger Altoids and whether they exist or not? You’d think you’d get the answer by checking out the Altoids website. You’d be wrong. No friggin’ product information. You can get plenty of cool artwork, but no information on where you can actually buy their products, and what flavors they manufacture. Useless as a source of information. ---

The site linked by Moeman now ranks as the worst one I have ever been to because of all the pop-up windows that it spawns (I expect a mod to come by and remove the link soon, I went to it before I saw BNB’s warning). By what criteria are we judging the worst web sites? Bad web design? Poor presentation of information? Lots of spelling mistakes? Difficult to navigate? Lots of dead links? Presentation of stupid or highly weird ideas? I have been to web sites that have suffered from these and other problems. Some of the ones listed in [www.somethingawful.com](http://www.somethingawful.com) 's “Awful Link of the Day” would qualify as among the worst I have seen. ---

What ever you do, do not click on the link in the OP. If I could get my hands around that asshat’s neck I would show him what I think of that site. (the asshat in question being the guy that put that site up, not Moeman.) ---

I hear that [this place](http://www.straightdope.com) is pretty good 😉 Seriously though, right now I’m a big fan of [Maddox](http://maddox.xmission.com). Something about the utter simplicity of it is nice, and I find a lot of his stuff to be pretty funny. ---

The Virgin site for the UK is pretty useless–it claims (or at least it did last time I waded through all the Flash crap to get that far) that Virgin dt energy drink is still on sale which despite hunting for it in London, Oxford _and_ Newcastle it does not appear to be. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Margo \* > \*\*[http://www.rotten.com](http://www.rotten.com) > > Ick, I get nauseous just thinking about it…nasty stuff. > > Margo \*\* I was going to mention that website precisely. Which reminds me of a day in school where a couple of friends of mine loaded different images from [rotten.com](http://rotten.com) on all computers in our IT room before the end of school. (I was there, but I didn’t participate - I was just cheering them on 😉 ). Felt sorry for the Year 8 (form 2) class that had IT the next morning. 🙂 ---

There’s one site that features prominently on it testicular and vaginal torture and piercing. For the sake of my account, I won’t post the link here. If you really want to see it then: 1)Email me. 2)I pity you. ---

I wouldn’t call it the worst but it does live up to its name as [The Most Annoying Website In The World.](http://ads.popupsponsor.com/media/iserve.phtml?a_id=9580&creative_type=1&ip=24.209.9.135&httpref=&media_id=205634) If you click on it you will get a series of pop-up with annoying but harmless taunts. ---
