- mwattsun 5y agoNot to take anything away but by legacy I meant late last century sites. VanillaForums was released in July 2006 according to Wikipedia, which makes it Web 2.0. Wikipedia also says "UTF-8 has been the most common encoding for the World Wide Web since 2008" I'm glad you posted though because now I know that sites are ok starting in that time frame, not before and then never touch the old ones again.
