Does anyone know what the oldest website currently in use is? I searched Yahoo, Google, etc. and came across several sites that claimed to be “among the first 500/800/100 websites”, “first in our part of the state”, etc. They could be just making it up. What year would a website have to date from to be considered “vintage”?
