What sites do you hate the most?

Those download sites that consist of 100 ads that try and fool you into thinking that they are the download button for whatever you're trying to download.

I'm a pretty good ad dodger but even I strugle at times to locate the actual download link on a page full of things that say "Download now!". I can't imagine how a non-geek manages.

ooooo...good one, i can't agree more!
 
I am shocked that nobody has yet mentioned The Student Rooms. It's an incredibly pompous, infuriating and egocentric place full of the most complex ridden, snobby and pathetic people the internet has ever seen.

The Muse forums (unofficial or otherwise) come a close second, the level of fanboyism and patheticness that swamps those board makes it unbearable for anybody that has actually had sex.
 
Another one I've found recently are these fashion forums populated by 90% females. I found them by accident looking for pics of Natalie Portman (sue me), and they have ~300 page threads on every major celeb, commenting on every different outfit and hairstyle they wear, slagging them off etc. and generally posting worthless ****. They all have pics of amazingly hot women as their avatars, I'm betting 1% are their real photo, 99% are probably butter trolls in real life. I wanted to reach through the screen and punch them. You thought male-only forums were bad? Think again.

Oh, also I tried to sign up to troll them, and the site is invite-only and there's a waiting list LMAO, like they're pretending to be some exclusive club. :/

As much as I love indie music, I despise the whole "indier than thou" attitude that those sites have in spades. If a band is in any way commercially successful, has more than ten fans or doesn't conform to their extremely narrow indie pidgeon hole it get slated both by the reviewers and by the forumers/commenters.
 
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the MSN homepage, every-time you setup and new PC or user profile it loads with all its stupid ads etc grrr..
 
The Student Room. So much misinformation and cockiness on there.

In fact, I don't know what it's like anymore. I just remember it being **** about 3 years ago.
