The only info I have is something I don't even know for sure I heard/read, let alone where. Maybe a Youtube comment. Maybe one of Strong Bad's tweets. I wouldn't be able to find it in my history- I'd have to check each related page of my history very thoroughly.
Here it is. Take it with several shakes of salt.
It seems that The Brothers Chaps were in the middle of converting the site to HTML5. I think the context in which I read it, was something like- "since they're moving to HTML5 will they now update Stinkoman just before the change?" I don't know where they may have heard that or if it's even correct.
I don't understand HTML5 at all, but I suspect there may be a limited conversion capability/compatibility. Kind of like a flash decompiler tool, some way that Flash and HTML5 can be at least partially mapped.
Strong Bad did post a tweet suggesting some way to archive, and someone else responded with a tool that archives flash to be available on the Wayback Machine, or something like that. It's called the Ruffle Project. So your son will be able to see it in its original form.

Ever since about 2006 or 2007, when playing Flash through browser or independent flash player, it would start slowing down through a toon over the course of 1-2 minutes until it was about 3-5 frames per second, then suddenly speed back up to normal, then slow down again in cycles. Maybe some sort of "buffering". Getting a brand spanking new top of the line computer later on didn't help- still jerky.
