People were doing lame **** like not closing braces, applying styles to thinks that weren’t shown, etc.

I could have written a full CSS parser to validate and fix people’s very special mistakes, but instead I decided to deploy an interface that made them easier to create.

Sure it’s limited (although we’ll add more to it in the future) but at least all the forums work now and don’t have horrible red boxes behind the threads as they move and ****.

So all the CSS for all those early forums had been repaired to function correctly? Why did you need to spend more time making all those forums look uniformly dull? I really don’t see the plus side in this. You spent time fixing stuff that didn’t need to be fixed, the end product was worse than the original, and the time you spent initially fixing the broken CSS was wasted.
