  This would have been a good thing to put on the site itself. It explains what we're looking at. As the grandparent explains, this article has no context in the title ("[unspellable] website launched"), and no context in the target site. It's just a black hole (or rather a grey hole, given the site's look and feel). I made it back here without any idea what it was or why I had been sent there. The grandparent's assessment was completely correct and delivered constructively. It should not have been voted down.

    The l0pht were such a big part of the internet world in the 90s that explaining what they were on a site with the focus such as this seems a waste of effort. Even if you were completely unaware of them the use of the word relaunch would indicate that it was an existing site and a quick search on Google would show you why explaining who they are wouldn't always be considered necessary. Complaining of not knowing who they are just screams to me of laziness. His assessment was targeted at a site where design is a concern for the site. The l0pht site has pretty much always been more about substance than style making a design critic pointless.
