Old sites are <table> hell

(crossposted from my Dreamwidth)

To explain what that title means, it feels like old websites (from like 2000-2004) are just a mess code-wise of <table>, <tr>, <td>, <td>, etc. etc. instead of being more concise or finding a better way to get a similar visual look, it's all tables upon tables to get everything aligned in one big block basically. Admittedly though I'm not a total genius when it comes to understanding HTML/CSS and how to get the absolute best look, but there must've been something else done to get the look that certain sites were going for.

If you don't understand what I'm talking about, just look at THIS:



That's for EVERY. SINGLE. ELEMENT on the page. Absolute insanity.
