The brutalist/undesigned style is an interesting vibe, but there are very simple things that could be done to radically improve information architecture and readability without sacrificing minimalism.
They had their charm, sure, but messy table-based layouts, fluorescent color schemes, scrolling text and flashing gifs aren't exactly what I would call readable. Give me Web 0.1 instead (black text, white background, maybe 5 lines of styling).
