ftowa.com was the website I ran for the FTO Drivers Club - Western Australia, a
small Perth car club for Mitsubishi FTO owners that was active from about 2002 to
2006. Twenty years on, I’ve put the whole thing back online as a read-only static
archive at ftowa.allanson.org.
The original site was hand-built: table layouts, <font> tags, a one-line
stylesheet, and a Perl CGI membership system that handled joining, the member
directory, member profiles, and a contact form. It ran on Windows/IIS, with a
phpBB forum bolted on. The archive preserves all of it - every page, the photo
galleries, a dozen workshop articles, the event and motorsport write-ups, all
thirteen member profile pages, and the full forum.
Most of that survived the move to static hosting untouched. Plain HTML, CSS and
images just work when you point a static server at the directory. The forum,
however was a little more work.
