You got one point wrong: the pixel font. It is not so much the pixel font themselves that are annoyin, but the ppl who uses it. There are enough pixel fonts that look great at normal size, but ppl just don't look for them. It seems like someone thought that smaal pixelfonts are the way to go, and everybody followed. Pixelfonts are the shizz, if you know wich one to use.
The Internet isn't all about content. The internet is also ENTERTAINMENT. Some sites are there for content only. Those sites wouldn't require fancy graphics and unique designs.
But alot of sites merge entertainment with content for a more pleasurable experience.
Now, I know alot of things can be done wrong, and I am glad you listed them, But don't falsely proclaim that certain things are bad, when they are extremely good when they are done right.
e.g. Scroll Arrows: Yes when there are only arrows it can be a bad thing, but some sites realize that and use a custom SCROLL BAR also. Sure it isn't the default windows one, god forbid, but it does solve the problem.
And the sound loop deal: Is it so bad if a website offers you a CHOICE of sound or no sound before you enter?
It is unfortunate that people like you can not appreciate the efforts that many designers go to. We are forever pushing the boundaries to establish something unique. When you stare infront of a screen for hours on end finalising a design, the diffence between 1 pixel to the left or the right makes all the difference to the design. When it comes to pixel fonts, you really start to appreciate the design of the font when you understand the restrictions placed upon designing within such a confined space and creating a typeface that is original. There is a beauty in the pixel world that is finally being appreciated by many which has made it's way into contemporary web design. So all I can ask is for people to appreciate it for what it is while it lasts.
