TheGodAngelo isn't an old Classic player, or so much aware of all the history and past versions of the server, and that this whole argument has been done before repeatably ad nauseum. Fulg0resama is his friend, and not representative of Classic's staff.
You made a post pertaining to old Classic content in the present tense, with full knowledge they no longer exist (in Zol's Toilet's case, in its original form), then inconspicuously questioned whether this is true. It shouldn't come across as a surprise at all that I am questioning the validity of this thread, personal or not.

Even if this were possible and realistic (good luck convincing Graal's management they should provide support for decade old software), using 2 different but similar entities, which share a lot, to accomplish a similar goal would be a conflict of interests. The huge amount of time and effort required to make old Classic playable on modern Graal, has no shortage of alternatives inwhich it would be better designated towards. Perhaps if the pricing policy was improved current Classic would be more likely to achieve similar playercounts to what Classic did in 2000.

I do agree this is a large part of what made it what it was. However in the long run this is also part of why it was abandoned.

There's an ambitious forward thinking server, which is inspired by, copying traits and features of, and has actively attempted to emulate that same server as well as its successor. It has had 2 and a half years of hard work on the back of extensive planning, and isn't far away from reaching its intended level of completion, at which point there will still be plenty of ability to reminisce over nostalgia.
