I particularly hate:
- When people use the word "script" in reference to a major PHP application. ("mybb is a good forum script", eew)
- When people use px instead of pt for font sizes in CSS
- When sites are composed entirely of Flash
- Sites obviously written in WYSIWYG editors (code full of empty tags)
- People who think they can "program" because they know basic HTML
- Forums that use phpBB, or nulled paid software
- Those single-page websites that are like a kilometre high and have large red text telling you to order this product TODAY!
- Sites with CPAlead
- Trafficless forums infested with banner ads
- Sites on free domains
- Forums where the admin user has a tonne of awards and badges with bright colours just for being the admin
- Domains with hyphens. Gets worse with more hyphens.
Go, go, go.
- People who continue to use FrontPage and then cry when they get slammed with bots.
- People who use 2px transparent images for padding.
- People who think their 1995 looking site is FTW.
- People who want you to help them for free with a paid project.
- Sites on very long free domains
- Trafficless forums with a bunch of ads
- Any site hosted on godaddy/hostgator
- Nulled paid software/Smf/phpBB (I barfed once)
- Any site that's hosted on forumotion
- People who are snobby just because they have a site
- Sites that are laggy
- New sites who ask for donations
- People who slam forums for using a common/default theme (Criticism is fine)
- When people use inline styling
The one thing thats been getting to me of late is "copy-paste programmers" who basically copy and paste scripts found on the internet without any understanding of what or how they work and then call themselves programmers.
An example here on MyBB is how people copy paste jQuery scripts from tutorials on the net without any understanding of the frameworks and the conflicts it may cause since MyBB uses prototype. Alot of times what they want to accomplish with jQuery can easily be accomplished with prototype and they wouldn't have to load up an extra framework.
Others:
- Developers who leave dead links all over their site. This is made worse if the dev constantly keeps changing between different url formats causing the old ones to go dead. (Example on MyBB: constantly switching between core seo urls and google seo urls)
- People who blatantly steal other's script and call them their own.

Pisses me off when I release something, and people not only remove the copyright, but change it to say they made it themselves.
- People who use tables for non-tabular data.
- People who use visitor counters.
- EVAL. EVAL EVAL EVAL EVAL EVAL. I %$#@ING HATE EVAL
- People who still use PHP4
- Code written by people who have yet to clarify their ideas
- Eval
Hey i use Php 4. Why rewrite what doesn't need to be.
Mine.
-People who make sites about sites.
-People who this {Insert most commonly used theme ever here} is the best theme ever, and is better then a paid custom theme no one else has.
-People who buy databases or fake stats to make the site look better.
-People who buy domains that are one character different to get traffic.
-Sites that neglect the fact they in comparison, they are smaller then google.
