Wendy Carlos' website must be protected at all costs. Anyone goes near this thing for a "redesign" and I will take off my shirt and fight them.
Wendy is a Legend and the fucking GOAT of the Moog synthesizer. Nearly everything we hold dear about modern music would be at a deficit without her work. you can tell her thanks at her fan mail inbox:

@DavBot
I wonder if my Creatures video game Fandom Geocities pages are still up...

might be... My Wife's lord of the rings page is on there. I cant remember it at the moment. I tried to find my magic card collection but I don't think it made it.
@DavBot who would dare touch such perfection??
@ljwrites
I really hope that she has in her will: "DON'T REDESIGN MY WEBSITE EVER."
It comes from a time when the internet was far less corrupted by corporate taint. Sites like these just feel honest.
@DavBot that site should have a "heritage overlay" (basically a fancy way of saying "it's heritage, you can't knock it down) on it so if anyone buys the domain in future, they have to keep the site running on the main domain
@sortius
Would be nice if that were a thing. Fortunately it's not too difficult to make a bash script to wget the site, its assets and sed to swap the domain name in the code for the archives so it functions, then host on github for free.
@DavBot oh my god that background image is genius?! did she design that herself!? tiling, tessellating versions of her name. amazing
@DavBot The accessibility could be vastly improved, but without changing a pixel.
