Do people really spend their time making sites like these for attention? We get it, you're good at using Photoshop and maybe CSS. These sites are useless, why would anyone waste their time making them?
Do people really spend their time criticizing others on HN? We get it, you're too busy and smart for such tomfoolery. :)
Seriously, whoever made this did it as a fun exercise. They probably have to make boring forms at work and wanted to see how extreme they could go in making something attractive (whether it's actually attractive is open for discussion). Maybe they learned something they can use; maybe others will be inspired.
Haven't you ever tinkered with something that wasn't strictly necessary? If not, how do you learn what's possible?
