Ah, I remember those days well. Some suggestions for tiebreakers:
-- lots of animated gifs:banana:
-- fonts in different colors
-- music that plays when the website opens
-- liberal use of frames
there are quite a few LMSC sites that still use frames. Some are quite hideous, but to make the finals in this category, a horrible background image turned out to be required. Nothing else causes the same response from the nervous system...
I think nelmsc.org wins the title, now that I've had some time to reflect on it. That web site is just AWFUL.
