..apparently, this is first and oldest web site and its still up..
https://info.cern.ch/
Im wondering what else, very old is out there..fill up the blanks if you have any ideas.. :D
I saw that link on a YouTube video a while ago about really old webpages.
There's a handful of really old webpages that are still around that come from the earliest days of the public internet. (I say public because there was the old BBS sites years and years before then that weren't as obviously accessible to people).
In my Conflict 3049 game I have a short video Easter Egg that can play if the right conditions are met in the Space Battle window in the corner of the screen during gameplay that's also from the really early days of Video Game Memes.
..this one i found interesting as it seems to be a internet big bank zero time moment..interesting to ee it still around.
Not the first web site, but an interesting blast from the past ;)

Wow, some old names there on the bb.com site, and I see John Pickford was still posting as well!
Good times! :)

Ive been thinking of putting a Hackintosh together! There seems to be a good reason to have a go now with Blitzmax. ;D
A lot of names on the old Blitz website I haven't seen in nearly 25 years or so. Sigh.
And the same question I always have when this comes up: anyone remember the URL of the Blitz site hosted by Shane R Monroe (author of the BlitzBasic docs back in the day) before Blitz Research hosted their own? Blitz Basement, maybe? *heads off to try that*
[edit] Yeah, that was the one. Sadly, archive.org doesn't have much of the forums there saved. Oh well.
