Day 161: Internet archaeology

It’s Adventure Day!

Today’s Activity: Find the oldest still-active website you can.

One of the most famous “I can’t believe it’s still online” sites is for the movie Space Jam, in all its 1996 glory. But it’s by no means the oldest. There’s a webcam of San Francisco fog that’s been going since 1994. And there are at a handful of domain names that have been active since the mid-1980s. But most of the lists of old sites show the same few pages again and again. Can you find others?
