One of the most useful aspects of this is it's longevity. It's longevity is mediated by the simplicity of the site. It's just HTML and files on a file system. There's nothing to break (except links, which he covers in the introduction). I've been using it for 20+ years.

- Exmoor 6y agoAt this point it's ancient history, but at the point I first came into contact with various electronic bulletin boards (FidoNet, Usenet) in the mid-90s FAQs were a ubiquitous thing. For many topics, just reading the official FAQ for that subject gave you a very good overview of whatever you were dealing with extremely efficiently. I've honestly never quite figured out why we moved away from that as the internet grew in popularity, but it's nice to see at least one relic still exists.
