Two of my favorite sites [0][1] still online—Lurkers Guide to Babylon 5 and ex-astris-scientia—were started in ‘92 and ‘98 respectively.
Elegant content for a more civilized age.

- timcederman 2mo ago1992 would be super SUPER early for the web. Looks like it launched in 1994.
- mrexroad 2mo agoYeah, I took a shortcut by just grabbing the copyright on page, but Lurker’s Guide to Babylon 5 has a slightly more storied history than being a www site. It started on Usenet before the pilot even aired iirc. I assume the ‘92 date encompasses the early content that evolved into the site it became. With that said, its domain has changed a few times iirc… so maybe not the best example given the nature of the article.
