Everybody get up, it’s time to slam now! We got a real jam goin’ down now!
Relevant Red Letter Media short film: The Great Space Jam.
THAT’S what I was looking for!
1994, and still quite active
serebii.net is one of those sites that surprises me that not only its still up, but also being regularly updated.
I have a website that has been up since 1995. I haven’t updated in 20 years or so.
My MySpace page. Has ALL the animated dancing banana GIFs you could ever want.
It’s nothing if it doesn’t have a yellow and black sign of a road worker scratching his butt.
The official page for the alien in the “I’m Blue” music video.
You blew my mind. I had no idea this didn’t originate from Eiffel 65
He wants be be be far away-ay-ay, so he can be be be there at home. And he can see see see you again, oh his native land.
No idea the year but it’s a band website that still has Web 1.0 vibes

Honourable mention:
https://homestarrunner.com/Their last big cartoon came out seven months ago, and it was a big celebration of the idea of going back to playing on individual websites instead of just being fed the same handful of social media crap.

Homestarrunner.net - “It’s dot com!”
…Cut!
Can’t get older than this one:
I remember visiting that site from an Arena browser on a remote X-Windows session. It was back when that site was still hosted on Tims NeXT cube on his desk.
www.crazyguyonabike.com is an old one that is still running.
Sluggy Freelance and Schlock Mercenary have both been around a while and both have (or had, when I still had time to read webcomics) stellar reputations for reliability.
I was going to mention User Friendly, but sadly that appears to be down. I think it was last time I checked, too, so I’m guessing it’s a lost cause.
The website of that big suicide cult. I don’t know how old the site actually is but it’s very 90s.
I wonder who’s still paying for it.
If I remember right, there’s one dude that “stayed behind” to keep it up and running.
Uh-huh. What a sacrifice. /s
In fairness, he may be the smartest of the bunch.
Fun fact, back in 2018 I emailed them asking if someone would take over once they were not able to have that responsibility, and if so, who. They replied the next day, and just said (copy and pasted from that email):
Yes, it will be. You would not know them.
Gaia Online.
It’s been around since 2003 and it still clings on to its early roots of the internet but with awful modern internet decisions.
Yahoo.com always comes to mind for these.
GameFAQs.com launched November 5, 1995, although it didn’t have that name or URL until 1996.
I just used them last week for a walkthrough on some old GB games I haven’t played in 20 years.
