Having been on the web in the nineties it's an endearing sort of shitpost. The minimal effort of the website is an effective fuck you as well.This looks like some geocities bullshit a girl would put up in five minutes.
Its funny, but pay some pajeet on fiver Billy instead of putting up this boomer shit.
Outing myself as an autistic fucker here, but I wouldn't be surprised if this site was coded by Billy himself. The underlying HTML screams ancient. The meta name="ROBOTS" having a value of NOODP says that websites should not consider results from the Open Directory Project or Yahoo's website directory - ancient shit modern web crawlers don't give a fuck about. At the same time there are Twitter metadata references that would make the embed of the website a lot better looking if someone puts a link to it on Twitter. - but they're screencaps of Billy giving a thumbs up with a pacman background, not really about the site itself.
There's also odd changes in capitalization in the tag names - some are all lowercase, others are camelCase (reallyImportantKeyword) and others are just all caps (ROBOTS). Suggests not made by an automatic program/site software. Someone copy/pasting website techniques they learned over many years manually.
The keywords metadata tag is another dead giveaway that this site was coded by someone ancient. Back in the day you could give your website keywords to help search engines find you as a relevant site. This worked up until people were shithead spammers, at which point search engines ignored it and paid attention to what your page actually said and what other sites that linked to you put in the link text instead. It's also clearly manually generated - Karl's name is listed as karl Jobst, and Rickey's Hot Sauce is listed as rickys (casing and lack of capitalization intentional).
Billy is almost 60 as I understand it so it's possible one of his kid could have learned 90s web design or a friend could have copied an older site, but the entire design reminds me of the currently late 60s cantankerous techie I learned HTML from.
I believe this website was made, however simple, by Billy editing an HTML file by hand. A man on a mission driven by pure belief in his cause and to shitpost about his victory.
