#17I'm curious if the site is actually that slow, or if they deliberately throttled it for verisimilitude. Fun stuff, either way.
It appears to be deliberate, since these are just small static files and the rest of the site is still fast. I find it incredibly annoying.
It may also be that even modern browsers have some trouble loading and rendering 940 animated gifs in parallel, even very small ones. That's probably not a common use case.

#18Malware bytes blocked that site for me; reportedly due to a trojan
The site a well-known (for some definition of the term) collection of very old files, so it’s probably an ancient signature for a DOS boot virus or something similar. I’d be very disturbed if there really was something worth worrying about there.

#19on my own website my response to this craze back then was to take one of those icons, change it to be crossed out and write: "this site is NOT under construction!" next to it.
