Never ventured out of the css forum, so I only read up to page 6 on this thread to get the gist:

Typical things:

Tables used for layout (if only little Timmy had enough time to sort those stylesheets out straight away, which is what he intended.)

Designers using micro-fonts

Designers using fonts that can't scale relatively.

Designers not caring about accesibility, just what looks cool.

Designers treating the web like it's print, and not using it for what it really is.

Spacer gifs

Catering for only one browser

Flash

"Ice" websites

Verdana

People not setting a background colour for their website when they want it be white, forgetting the configured background colour for some browsers isn't white.

It all depends on what part of the 90's you're talking about. A year in the real world is like several years in the IT world. Also, the WWW is relatively new.
