The internet is a very vile and mean place if you think about it. There are websites devoted to the most obcene things, but we don't know they're there because we're not into those sorts of things, and thus don't search for them.

I can think of many bad things that happen on the internet, but I don't want to repeat them here. If you want to know what I'm thinking of, then use your imagination, it'll come to you.

I hate ads that say I'm the millionth visitor on a site with the post count on the corner of the page contradicting that.

Not even Bulbapedia is safe from porn ads... How sad.
I have come back from Smogon. Yippee!

Some people are just stupid. And they're pretty free about it on their in-depth autobiographical weblogs, what with the whole ';_; my lief sukcs my bf brok up wiht meee' rigmarole. But hey, that's okay. People get emotional, and they do silly things.
...Different matter entirely if they go on a Youtube spamming craze on popular videos and call random innocents nasty things or say the most moronic comments on the video.

Then there're the porn pop-ups. It's all I can do to avoid sites that have no choice but to host them. Those moving interactive ads are fine as long as I ignore them to the best of my abilities. But then there's the ungodly, 20-blinks-per-second "CONGRATULATIONS YOUR THE 2000000000th VISITOR THIS IS NOT A JOKE CLIAM UR PRIZE HERE". Oh, the horror.

Worst of all are viruses. Those little abominations can pester me both offline and online, while I can at least escape from morons and porn popups in the safety of my offline files. Viruses have done some pretty nasty things to my computer. >__>"

I was going to go with PokeCommunity, but I figure we could find something worse.

Facebook pretty much does a good job at getting self-important morons together.

It's a candidate.

So is Myspace, but at least it has good music.

Here are mine.

- Ads: I can definitely agree with most ads. If it's just a normal text ad, I don't care. However, if it's a popup, or flash ad, I detest them.

- Stupid People: Unfortunatly, there are way too many people like this on the internet, spammers, n00bs, ect.

- Chat Language: blehk, if there is one thing I hate, it's people who can't talk correctly. I'm fine with abbreviations like btw and brb, as it doesn't look right constantly saying "be right back" and "by the way" in text. (Heh, I hate "imo" though). But things like "u" "g2g" "cya" "bbl" "bbs" ect are just bleh. (especially as most of those I mentioned can be just said with "bye")

- lol, lolz, lawl, lul, lulz, rofl, lmao, ect, ect, ect: 'nuff said

- 1337: again, 'nuff said

-All of the above chatspeak: I can't emphasize it enough. The only exception to that is when it's used for humorous purposes.

- Viruses, Spyware, Rootkits, ect: Need I even explain this one?

- Spammers: same as above

- Hackers: again, same as above




And lastly, the thing I hate most about the internet overall:

- Torrents, uTorrent, LimeWire, BitTorrent, and everything in between: I cannot STAND people who use the internet to download software and music and everything else, and don't have the decency to legally purchase it. I DETEST people who don't spend a cent on software, when the programmers deserve to get something in return for the hard work put into it.

I hate spyware the most - stealing your important and private information!
Hacking and Viruses are dangerous.
So luckily I have a good antivirus and very secure browser settings :)
I dont care about the other things how can they even be put in comparison!

The Internet is full of nasty stuff with a few nice things like PC that can be found inbetween:P

The influx of Piracy due to file sharing, the constant porno poppups that constantly plague your innocent surfing and the amount of malicious viruses, trojan etc. that just want to screw you over. Man you really have to watch your back:D

I really hate all that spam, viruses, ads that pop up without you knowing. >>; Thank goodness I have Spybot, Adware, and Norton Anti-Virus to get rid of those trojans, viruses, and spyware. Anything that will affect my computer are the worst. That means I won't be online. D: And that is bad. And the spam, especially if people send you spam e-mail. I delete those quick!

And also trolls and people who can't take everyone's opinions to account. They will spam the whole thread with what they believe, and won't listen to anybody. And also there will be some people who bash others too. I seen a forum that is like that all the time. It is so annoying.

Of course it isn't PC. I love PC. It isn't like that forum which I won't mention. >>;

I'll say it for you then...

No amount of viruses or wrong link search engine sites could amount to the hell which is Serebiiforums.

I find illegally downloading software to be disgraceful <_<
Careful what you say, all the Russians I know are quite fond of illegally downloading and piracy ;P

Yeah that is one forum, but I am talking about another forum. Let me just say it is a Naruto fan fourm. There that is all I got to say. If anyone heard of that forum, you will know what I am talking about. People bash each other and their opinions, and bash the characters. They even have anti-fan clubs, can you believe that? And there are trolls all over the place. D:

I am so glad PC isn't like that. :3

Since it hasn't been mentioned, 4chan!
Agreed. Hackers are the most annoying. All or most do it knowing they're exploiting things not permitted for them to have in the first place.

Privacy is the worst issue ever. It's so rediculously in abundance that it makes me turn irate.
Lo, primitive earthlings. I am coming for your planet.
