They're not decrepit; they're unfashionable. Programs and websites that were somewhat decently written 20 years ago should and pretty much do run exactly the same today as they did then. It's not until "web 2.0" and SaaS that you find things that stop working after a few years/months. That's exactly what you need for "poorly funded" sites, and I don't see why a site that's meant to be functional needs a Hollywood budget.
