That this was posted to make fun of the logos is one possibility, but I'd prefer to think that the poster might have wanted to simply bring attention to it. Knowing there's a problem is the first step toward resolving the problem, right?
I completely agree that the GNU projects are very useful. That said, no matter how useful and valuable a product is, all that value is simply lost if no one uses it. Making these projects more attractive to people not already familiar with them will help them to flourish the way that they should.
- asdfaoeu 13y agoI think most would consider that at best a distraction. More often then not overly flashy websites seem to look bad on my book. To me it seems more like they are trying to slip something under the rug while simple designs come across as more focused. Like http://prgmr.com http://prgmr.com http://tarsnap.com http://tarsnap.com and http://nearlyfreespeech.net http://nearlyfreespeech.net .
- dysoco 13y agoI agree, I'd rather have a website like http://www.slackware.com/ http://www.slackware.com/ than any of that bootstrap stuff.

The only changed they seemed to have made is changing it from a white text on back background design to a black text on white background design very early on. https://web.archive.org/web/19991117022152/http://slackware.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/19991117022152/http://slackware....
- sbuk 13y agoWhy? The "bootstrap" stuff utilises modern, standards based semantic markup. The linked site is poor both aesthetically and technically.
- eli 13y agoCalling something "World's Worst" is, IMHO, not a very nice way to start a discussion about improving it.
