Does everything really stay on the internet forever? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

So, we got the internet for the first time back in 1996, I was 15, and my dad created a web page, telling about our family, as those were the days when EVERYBODY was creating web pages.... I have no idea whatever became of that webpage... But does that web page STILL EXST? Even if it can't be accessed, is it still out there.... SOMEWHERE...floating around in the deep, dark recesses of cyber space?

1996 was when the Wayback Machine started archiving the internet. There's a chance it captured your site.

Yes, there are even archived versions of this site from way back.

I used to post on a forum called Animation Show. It's gone, but it's probably lurking out there somewhere.

I've typed in quoted phrases that I remember my dad putting in, but nothing resulted.... But sometimes I will search for a specific comment that I remember leaving on Youtube like from 2008 or so, sometimes it will find the comment but it will be on some WEIRD site or forum. Once I was bored and I searched for a comment I remember leaving on a Youtube vid from like 2007 and it found my comment left by ME, but it was not on the youtube vid I left it on, but it was on some strange forum, totally unrelated to youtube where ppl were just talking about random stuff and people had actually been responding to MY comment throughout the years !

Also a lot of other random comments from all types of other people were there, just comments as random and unrelated as could be
