All it needs now is one of those (This site best viewed with Netscape Navigator) icons or my favorite, the icons that used to rotate between (Site Served By IIS)/(Best viewed in DIMENSION)/(Something about usage of ActiveX tech).
It may also be that even modern browsers have some trouble loading and rendering 940 animated gifs in parallel, even very small ones. That's probably not a common use case.
The site a well-known (for some definition of the term) collection of very old files, so it’s probably an ancient signature for a DOS boot virus or something similar. I’d be very disturbed if there really was something worth worrying about there.
on my own website my response to this craze back then was to take one of those icons, change it to be crossed out and write: "this site is NOT under construction!" next to it.
Hah, there's one there that I'd believe not to be an "under construction" graphic, but a graphic from a website about the C64 game Ultimate Wizard (there's a light green-on-black "Construction" that looks noticeably out of place)

Opinionated software before it was cool.
Fun stuff, either way.

Oh my gosh, some of them are headers from old-school (1.0.x) JavaDocs...
