I worked on a project like this once. If I remember correctly, it was even larger than 11,000 lines. ASP classic project with VB-script. We tried to get the company to do an overhaul, but it was more cost effective to try building it into the existing system. After the better part of a week becoming acquainted with the code, I found a suitable integration point. Luckily for me, the new feature being requested didn't depend too much on the existing code so I didn't have to make too many modifications to the existing code. I added the entry point to the new section along with some comments describing how things worked and some ascii art of a dragon. In the end, the new feature worked great and the customer was very happy with the results. Some years later, I was working for a different consulting firm and that project surfaced again. This time it was being re-written in ASP .NET after being passed around to a couple of different off-shore development teams. My coworker was working on it and asked me if I had written a specific piece of code in index.asp. I took a look and we both had a laugh, because my ascii survived after all those years!
