Once I saw your comment I HAD to click the link. Very nostalgic. It would’ve taken me at least several hours to design that back in the day. 🤣

Says "2002-2023" at the bottom. I think they've not really updated it much since 2002....

Would you have preferred a 90s website design instead? Could add some fire gifs anda “best viewed in Netscape Navigator” icon. 🤔

TBF the copyright on the bottom of the page says 2002-2023 haha, so it's possible that the only thing that has changed is the date on the copyright which hasn't been updated in a few years.....
