In 98.css – A design system for building faithful recreations of old UIs
I've got a classic guestbook on an intentionally vintage page but I actually filter the input into "spam" and "humans". Here's the spambook: https://bootstra386.com/spambook.html The filter system is open source https://github.com/kristopolous/BOOTSTRA.386/blob/master/hom... Showing it's not impossible to have a classic anonymous guestbook, you just have to be a bit clever. Yes, that's a zipbomb to a particular offender at the beginning. It worked. A script dumb enough to brainlessly slam the site easily broke against a zipbomb.

Looks like they have their own stylesheet, not sure if they have it somewhere with documentation/etc. I will say, BOOTSTRA.386[0] may be a good substitute; per it's name it's just bootstrap. I've actually used it in production[1] and it works just as one would expect. [0] - https://github.com/kristopolous/BOOTSTRA.386 [1] - At the time it was just a gag prototype, and while I told everyone "if you don't like it feel free to switch it to normal bootstrap or one of your choice" but nobody bothered to do so since it wasn't a very complex UI and, frankly, it kept things clean.
