What wargaming website or websites still in existance have you followed the longest?
Mine are
Necromundicon (now www.ironhands.com )
and
Terra Genesis. ( http://terragenesis.co.uk/)
Both of which I've been following since 1998.
Got started on this idea because...
Last month I brought some gaming stuff back from my mom's house after helping her with some cleanup. One of the items was a binder of webpages I had printed off from the library in the late 90's. I didn't have internet then, so I would print off pages (mostly of scenery) for inspiration. Most of these were from Terra Genesis and Necromundicon (now part of ironhands.com). The earliest of these date to 1998. It got me thinking that not many webpages from back then are still around.
Like most wargamers most of my online destinations are now forums and blogs, but some of the old websites have survived. While I don't go to TerraGenesis as often, it's still a good site, and I still check ironhands.com religiously.
How about you?

I'd have to say Privateer's Press' website. I've been on and off there since 2007. After that I'd have to say Bloo Milk since maybe about the same time... maybe a little later.

Not many. Rec.Games.Miniatures.Warhammer. This site(mostly to keep up with what "this side" of the community is screaming about this week. A couple Livejournal groups.
Otherwise. Meh. It's not worth my time. I get news/rumors funneled to me by people in my local store inner circle. And that stuff I barely care about most of the time unless it coincides with my interests at the time when it hits the shelf.

Good god I remember terragenesis and completely forgot about it in recent years.
The longest sadly for me is GW. I remember back in 95 when it was a crappy website and then it went through a series of transitions. I still remember when GW had a message board and full community section to their website but closed down as they couldn't be bothered to moderate it lol.

Here.. sometime in 2003, possibly late 2002, to be honest I'm not really sure.
Only other site close to that is Neoseeker, due to my Dynasty Warriors interests, and randomly finding that site first in around mid 2003.

I used to enjoy Bolter and Chainsword a lot, and I think it's still a generally nice natured site, although it's a quite particular site and of limited relevance if you are not doing space marines!

Bartertown (from back in its wild west days when it was still a .org) and theminiaturespage.com. Those are the only two from way back that are still actively updated (hey, I was using netscape when it was still a v0.9 beta that fit on a single 3.5" floppy!). RPG.net and enworld came a bit later (around 1998ish IIRC) but I still visit both regularly.

Here.
I've probably known about Warseer longer than I have Dakka (back when it was called Portent and was the main 40k rumour site around), but unless you subscribe to the Warseer groupthink, there's no point in ever posting there.
So here it is, the only major war-gaming site where you can both express your own opinions and don't get banned for not talking about Space Marines.

I remember that old place. Good times. I was on Warseer then I came here. Never went back.

Great site, although my Necromunda group has scattered to the four winds.

Not sure who said it, but the only time I've heard anyone talk about it, they said Dakka used to sell pool cleaning supplies and lederhosen.

Come on now. A little bit of deductive reasoning can solve this.
You've got a site called 'Dakka Dakka', and there used to be a store called 'Dakka Dakka'. The site is about 40K (mainly) and war-games in general. So... the store called 'Dakka Dakka' that's directly related to the 40K/wargaming site also called 'Dakka Dakka' would therefore sell...
...
...
You can do this! I know you can!

Don't listen to these fools.
They didn't sell pool cleaning supplies.
Just lederhosen and lederhosen accessories.

As hilarious as a site called dakka dakka selling lederhosen would be (especially from back in the day when ork stormboys were dressed up as nazis), it was a gaming store. The owner I think ( IIRC) had the forum first and then opened up the store and eventually closed the store and auctioned off the site to yak and lego.
