> no trying to hard sell anything Apparently not even the coffee mug now, which is bitterly disappointing.
Disclaimer: I am not nostalgic for the internet of the old days, especially the times when you had a few websites to access, mostly university sites, and you could memorize each and every IP address. I actually hate the fact that the major search engines (especially Bing and Google) try to deceive me with the URLs I don't need. During the times of Altavista and Yahoo, I had the regex pipeline to filter their searches; however, this tactic is now futile...

True, although the official safety posters[0] still seem to be available: https://www.cafepress.com/e2hp.34051572 [0] https://www.entrances2hell.co.uk/pagesafety.html

It still exists you’re just missing it
Does one have to tilt their trolley at every pillar on every train platform. Or find a friendly worm type thing to show them hidden entrances?
How old is this site? I'm sure even in 2002 JPEG was a better option than GIF
I'm sure it's older than that, seeing it again has triggered a memory from I'm sure the late 90s.
