Of all the websites Alias mentions, I either don't visit the site, or I
have no issues with them. (But then, I don't give a rat's ass for shine -
all I care for is information, and most information I care about doesn't
need to be any more fancy that a plain ASCII document).

Except the one Alias was most positive about. www.yapc.org. I go there,
not surprisingly, to find out information about YAPCs. But yapc.org lists
many conferences. Top 2 on the list are conferences in the past. The
first yapc is only #4 on the list. And the big link doesn't go to the
YAPC site, no, it goes to some Google calendar.

Functionality, that's important. Who cares whether it was developped
in 1996? It's not that people were stupid around that time.
