No, I can’t imagine.
I can’t tell you how many websites I’ve seen that are now completely unusable because it was felt necessary to “upgrade” over the years. This is largely a text based website.
Without any advertising here at FR. How complicated does that need to be? For my part the website looks familiar, like an old friend. It doesn’t require massive resources to load up, Java script, nor does it try to hijack my browser and load pop-up videos. It’s very quick, and especially noticeable in sketchy connections in remote areas. See where I’m goin’ with that?
It just works

My bank does this. It is working fine; I can get where I want to go and do what I need to do.
Then - Lo and Behold - things change.
It was too ‘plain’. It now flashes with images and I have to hunt up the login prompt. All while taking longer to load those new improved pages.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
You nailed it all, F4US.
So many sites are so full of crap that they are totally unusable. The worst of the worst are newspapers. Popup after popup after popup...pretty soon you have a postage stamp sized window of “content” peeking through.
All of us love the old-school, simple, reliable approach here on FR. A bit of very basic html if you want to make a list or post a pic or throw in a link. Easy peasy.
