Support for (very) old browsers

Currently the CMS does not support old browsers, as far as i can tell. Using Firefox 2.0 for example, i can not see the navbar at the top. That support would be a nice addition, and if wanted, i can try to contribute on implementing it.
Presumably you could use an old browser detection system with Modernizr or something and disable Bootstrap if an old browser is detected. Although it would look ugly, at least all the links (including those in the navbar) would be accessible.
If I might add, a way this could be done is by creating a template with only the very needed markup. Maybe enough for a command-line browser like w3m or links to properly display.
I'd love downloading obsolete software using older, obsolete browsers on the OS's I happen to be playing around with.
What about some subdomain like old.winworldpc.com which would use a reduced template with text only?
Beyond the web page itself, there is also the problem that most of the downloads are packaged for use on somewhat newer computers. All of the archives are in 7-zip format and use long file names. Mac downloads are mostly disk images that require a Kryoflux to write, rather than SIT archives. I choose 7z compression methods that are compatible with earlier clients but this is not guaranteed should someone else package files.
@SomeGuyWW What 7-zip settings and version do you use for the archives?
