Default One of the worst looking / designed websites...??

Now I'm know expert when it comes to web design but this website is shocking, it just looks awful!!!!

http://www.appleinsider.com/

I'd be interested to hear the opinions of peeps on here who know a lot more about this than I do.

Yeah I've seen MUCH worse.... too many adverts on it which doesn't help.

A favourite which is designed to be so bad (so its sort of retro trendy) is here:

Nothing wrong with the Apple site, but hardly a stunning piece of web design either technically or visually.

Of course it has the Apple logo on it so someoe who actually takes a day off work to get a device that they could have tomorrow is going to get a semi over it

It's aggregating content so technically not a proper site, a lot of these sites do it, getting their hit count up essentially regurgitating their own **** or someone elses ****

But then it hasn't been changed since the early 1990's and it uses an email system as the back-end for the forums. So all the forum indexs are replies to the same threads.

Took me ages to find out how to regenerate the replies into a single linear thread (i.e normal format)....by clicking a microscopic icon.

It was good enough to be on Dragon's Den and good enough to elicit an offer which she refused and went it alone.

Yes, the over egged Flash site is not only a visual horror, but the cheesy audio narrative before you go into and then the intro just makes you want to slash your wrists.
