Also, Mudcat's simple text+minimal HTML based format is also rock-solid-compatible with any web browser and loads as fast as the hardware and bandwidth will allow, and (at an educated guess) uses the minimum of resources on Max's servers. In other words, if you converted it so some modern ready-made system it would either run slower or need lots of $$$ expended on hardware to keep up - and either way people would complain.
