Submitted title was "How is this zombie enron site still going?"

Good question! but the place for it is the comments, not the title. From https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html: ""Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." The original title is linkbaity, but it's so retro linkbaity that I think it counts as interesting again.

Now can anybody figure out the year? (Edit: I've put 2001 up based on https://enroncorp.com/corp/pressroom/releases/2001/ene/51-en... being listed as the most recent news)

Overall, zombo.com has done better than Enron

Eeeeyeah. When I'm applying for a job, if I go to their corporate site and their about us page reads like the KPMG anthem, or Weird Al's "Mission Statement", it's a huge red flag or at least it prompts followup questions. (Most annoying is when I ask the crooter followup questions and get "Did you check out their web site?" as a response. Yes, I did, and it told me nothing. Did you?)

Based on that, we should've seen Enron's collapse a long time coming.

This is supposedly a restoration project but I’m pretty sure it’s a parody. The corporate responsibility page returns “The page you were trying to reach cannot be found” which is a little too on the nose.

It's not, it's just a re-hosted clone of the original Enron site circa 2000 (https://web.archive.org/web/20011003192049/http://www.enron....).
