Just don't add an "Under Construction" banner... you know where that leads 😀
But then how could it be truly classic?

"Under Construction" banners are quintessential 90s Internet!

I’ve used the web regularly from 1995 onwards and I somehow never ran across that one. …I think I’m glad, honestly.

  • image down sampling and conversion to gif.
  • HTML Sanitization
  • Cleaning up the manual templating and migrating to smarty (sigh)
  • Posting from classic (and other lowfi methods we have in the pipeline) using a userid and TOTP code controlled by the user preference we added
  • an old school odometer-like hit counter
Adding to my list:
  • Special template/handling when you don't have permission (like Trading Post, Lounge)
  • Adjustable font sizes in three increments what will be added to header/footer and carried across pages to make browsers with interesting default stylesheets more pleasant
