I'm an old fart, this is modern to me: http://kristopolous.github.io/BOOTSTRA.386/

Its certainly a hell of a lot more readable than most sites.

Gah! That should come with a flashback warning.

Or at least report linker errors... #BorlandTurboC++

I kind of like it.

Having grown up in Brooklyn in late 60s, early 70s, I would call this the old 42nd Street, and modern web design the new 42nd Street.

Sure the new stuff is clean and functional, but it's missing some of the color or character. I'd love to see a mashup of both!

Am I the only one that wishes the pendulum of fashion would swing back to the time when a site expressed its character, rather than its money funnels?

My 5-year-old son says: "It looks cool to me!"

No flaming skulls. closes tab

You didn't like the flaming input boxes?

Frankly, I think we need MOAR flaming input boxes as a clear indication that someone, somewhere, probably a user, has done something incredibly wrong.

Like, broken-the-universe wrong.

Seeing a flaming input box should leave the user crying out in despair, begging the cosmos to forgive them for whatever unholy thing they did.

And the galactic expanse will uncaringly not reply in the slightest.

It would be metal.

Yes, it's a useless response. I gave my brain the day off today, mostly.

Sometimes I think clients want that kind of styling. In the future I'm going to have to show them this site and ask if they can identify what they like about it.

The fire input error state is A+

Oh my...Just wow...

Also, I'm not sure if the Guestbook[0] is intentionally spent our it just ended up like that.

Definitely the best article title relative to the content, well done! Happy memories, too.

The Drudge siren in the alert box is an especially nice touch.

Haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

The "Made with notepad: THE RIGHT WAY" and other spurious badges just added that extra touch of realism to the theme

I love that it's responsive :-)

The alerts need thicker borders! A good rule of thumb is > 3 pixels, preferably gold.

both awesome and horrific at the same time

Smile. Laugh. Cry. Bookmark. Smile

Triggered.

I was taken aback.

No java games?

On point.

For people living on the cutting edge of the web, here's a Bootstrap 3 version:

Lol my favorite part was the fire in the text box when there's an error

Sheesh, this looks like a collection of the worst 1990s styling elements.

I'll have you know MC Hammer gifs are so hot right now.

you misspelled best, though it needs to have flaming skulls follow your mouse pointer around to be really great

No heavy JS framework sucking the battery dry, no full screen ads, no annoying popovers, no scrolljacking, no requests for notification, no newsletter subscription.

A collection of the worst of the current web would be much worse.
