The ethos here reminds me a lot of the edgier elements of the Web design community in the 1997-2002 period. For some reason, a lot of it died out after that, but there was a real enthusiasm to do some magical stuff and large collectives like the Swank Army were putting out amazing and experimental work (often leaning on early CSS and gigantic nests of tables). I'd love to see that culture come back to the Web in a big way.
Yeah, I remember. Dreamless was a truly ad-hoc institution though, and the tools people used to participate were all freely available and took some effort to use and understand. The aesthetic is similar, but I think the sentiment here is really different.
Was that the discussion site where they didn't sanitize embedded CSS..? So when you loaded the page, it kept changing style because every commenter had overridden styles?
