Forum rules
The Off-Topic area is a general community discussion and chat area with special rules of engagement.

Enter, read and post at your own risk. You have been warned!
While our staff will try to guide the herd into sensible directions, this board is a mostly unrestricted zone where almost anything can be discussed, including matters not directly related to the project, technology or similar adjacent topics.

We do, however, require that you:
  • Do not post anything pornographic.
  • Do not post hate speech in the traditional sense of the term.
  • Do not post content that is illegal (including links to protected software, cracks, etc.)
  • Do not post commercial advertisements, SEO links or SPAM posts.
We also ask that you keep strongly polarizing topics like politics and religion to a minimum. This forum is not the right place to discuss such things.
Please do exercise some common sense. How you act here will inevitably influence how you are treated elsewhere.

These people did:

Back in 2012 -- The internet was a very different place back then.

And if you would have taken the time to pay attention to what is directly in front of you, then you would have known this too.

I was not really interested in knowing the authors (although iy is not perspicuous for me to find the link you quote) but why they did it that way. Or at least the way it appears to me ... a fixed overall size of some 780x500 pixel with (an abuse of) frames all of fixed size (is the same for anybody else ?). Even in 2012 I would not have used frames that way.
Edit: corrected typo! 2012 not 2021 ! Not even earlier !
