Yeah, like we care. In this brave new world, hit counters are nothing but a particularly moronic form of ego display, impressing only the lemming-minded. To add injury to insult, hit counters screw up page caching, heaping more load on the Internet's wires. If we have something to say to you, we'll send you mail. Having a guestbook is lame and only demonstrates that the designer is not thinking about what happens when you nudge people to write something, anything.
Stale links are lame.
People who have lots of stale links are lamers. That's because people with good web pages use them and hack them and fix broken pointers quickly so they're unlikely to have more than a few at a time busted. This is stupid. HTML is not rocket science and prototyping pages is not a slow process. We were originally going to vent our spleen at black backgrounds, until we realized that black is not the problem.
